Connecting your equipment
Placing the speakers
By connecting the left and right front speakers (
L
/
R
), the center speaker (
C
), the left and right
surround speakers (
SL
/
SR
), and the subwoofer (
SW
), a 5.1 ch surround system can be enjoyed.
Further, by using an external amplifier, you can connect the left and right surround back
speakers (
SBL
/
SBR
) to boost your system up to a 7.1 ch surround system.
• You can also connect one surround back speaker (
SB
) and enjoy a 6.1 ch surround system.
To achieve the best possible surround sound, install your speakers as shown below.

This layout is available only when the additional amplifier is connected to the unit and the
surround back speakers are connected to the amplifier. For details, see Connect the surround back
speakers on page 11.
Hints on the speaker placement
Where you put your speakers in the room has a big effect on the quality of the sound. The
following guidelines should help you to get the best sound from your system.
• The subwoofer can be placed on the floor. Ideally, the other speakers should be at about
ear-level when you’re listening to them. Putting the speakers on the floor (except the
subwoofer), or mounting them very high on a wall is not recommended.
• For the best stereo effect, place the front speakers 2 m to 3 m apart, at equal distance from
the TV.
• If you’re going to place speakers around your CRT TV, use shielded speakers or place the
speakers at a sufficient distance from your CRT TV.
• If you’re using a center speaker, place the front speakers at a wider angle. If not, place
them at a narrower angle.
• Place the center speaker above or below the TV so that the sound of the center channel is
localized at the TV screen. Also, make sure the center speaker does not cross the line
formed by the leading edge of the front left and right speakers.
• It is best to angle the speakers towards the listening position. The angle depends on the
size of the room. Use less of an angle for bigger rooms.
• Surround and surround back speakers should be positioned 60 cm to 90 cm higher than
your ears and titled slight downward. Make sure the speakers don’t face each other. For
DVD-Audio, the speakers should be more directly behind the listener than for home
theater playback.
• If the surround speakers cannot be set directly to the side of the listening position with a
7.1-channel system, the surround effect can be enhanced by turning off the Up Mix
function (see Setting the Up Mix function on page 23).
• Try not to place the surround speakers farther away from the listening position than the
front and center speakers. Doing so can weaken the surround sound effect.
CAUTION
• Make sure that all speakers are securely installed. This not only improves sound quality,
but also reduces the risk of damage or injury resulting from speakers being knocked over
or falling in the event of external shocks such as earthquakes.
Important
• To connect the surround back speakers, an additional amplifier is required. Connect the
additional amplifier to the
SURR BACK PRE OUT
outputs of this unit and connect the
surround back speakers to the additional amplifier (see Connect the surround back
speakers on page 11).
