Some tips for improving sound quality
Whe
r
e you
p
ut you
r
s
p
eake
r
s in the
r
oom has a
big effect on the quality of the sound. The
following guidelines should hel
p
you to get the
best sound f
r
om you
r
system.
• The subwoofe
r
can be
p
laced on the floo
r
.
Ideally, the othe
r
s
p
eake
r
s should be at
about ea
r
-level when you’
r
e listening to
them. Putting the s
p
eake
r
s on the floo
r
(exce
p
t the subwoofe
r
), o
r
mounting them
ve
r
y high on a wall is not
r
ecommended.
• Fo
r
the best ste
r
eo effect,
p
lace the f
r
ont
s
p
eake
r
s 2 m to 3 m (6 ft. to 9 ft.) a
p
a
r
t, at
equal distance f
r
om the TV.
• If you’
r
e using a cente
r
s
p
eake
r
,
p
lace the
f
r
ont s
p
eake
r
s at a wide
r
angle. If not,
p
lace
them at a na
rr
owe
r
angle.
• Place the cente
r
s
p
eake
r
above o
r
below
the TV so that the sound of the cente
r
channel is localized at the TV sc
r
een. Also,
make su
r
e the cente
r
s
p
eake
r
does not
c
r
oss the line fo
r
med by the leading edge
of the f
r
ont left and
r
ight s
p
eake
r
s.
• It is best to angle the s
p
eake
r
s towa
r
ds the
listening
p
osition. The angle de
p
ends on
the size of the
r
oom. Use less of an angle
fo
r
bigge
r
r
ooms.
• Su
rr
ound and su
rr
ound back s
p
eake
r
s
should be
p
ositioned 60 cm to 90 cm (2 ft.
to 3 ft.) highe
r
than you
r
ea
r
s and tilted
slight downwa
r
d. Make su
r
e the s
p
eake
r
s
don’t face each othe
r
. Fo
r
DVD-Audio, the
s
p
eake
r
s should be mo
r
e di
r
ectly behind
the listene
r
than fo
r
home theate
r
p
layback.
• If the su
rr
ound s
p
eake
r
s cannot be set
di
r
ectly to the side of the listening
p
osition
with a 7.1-channel system, the su
rr
ound
effect can be enhanced by tu
r
ning off the
UP Mix function (see
Setting the Up Mix
function
on
p
age 57).
• T
r
y not to
p
lace the su
rr
ound s
p
eake
r
s
fa
r
the
r
away f
r
om the listening
p
osition
than the f
r
ont and cente
r
s
p
eake
r
s. Doing
so can weaken the su
rr
ound sound effect.
