Determining the speakers’ application

By connecting the left and right front speakers (

), the

center speaker (

), the left and right surround speakers (

), the left and right surround back speakers (

SBL

SBR

) (or

the left and right front height speakers (

FHL

FHR

)), and the

subwoofer (

), a surround sound system up to 7.1 channel

can be enjoyed.
The 5.1 channel surround system is the most commonly-
used in home theaters. To achieve the best possible surround
sound, install your speakers as shown below.

Note

• Both the surround back speakers and the front height

speakers can be connected at the same time. In this case,
sound will be output from either the front height speaker
or the surround back speaker depending on which one
was selected in the

Speaker System

setting (see

The

Speaker System setting

on page 40).

Another way, you can use the speakers connected to the B
speaker terminals to listen to stereo playback in another
room. See

Switching the speaker terminal

on page 12 for the

listening options with this setup.

•

You will not be able to connect the B speakers if you
connect the front height speakers in the main zone.

Further, if you use the B speakers, a 5.1 ch playback will
be the maximum in the main zone. (No sound is output
from the surround back speaker.)

Important

• The Speaker System setting must be set if the above

connections are performed. Select

Surr.Back

if the

surround back speaker or speaker B is connected, and

Height

if the front height speaker is connected (see

The

Speaker System setting

on page 40).

Some tips for improving sound quality

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.

• 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.

• Refer to the chart below for placement of speakers you

intend to connect.

Place the surround speakers at 120º from the center. If
you, (1) use the surround back speaker, and, (2) don’t
use the front height speakers, we recommend placing
the surround speaker right beside you.

If you intend to connect only one surround back
speakers, place it directly behind you.

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

page 34).

• For the best stereo effect, place the front speakers 2 m to

3 m (6 ft. to 9 ft.) apart, at equal distance from the 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.
