Sony STR-DH510 - Manual (Page 18)

18 GB
Note
To enjoy better surround sound, the distance
between the center speaker and the listening position
B cannot be more than 1.5 meters (5 feet) closer
than the one between the listening position and the
front speaker A. Place the speakers so that the
difference in the length of B in the following
diagram is no more than 1.5 meters (5 feet) closer
than the length of A.
Example: Adjust the distance B to 4.5 meters
(15 feet) or more when the distance A is 6 meters
(20 feet).
Also, the distance between the surround speakers
and the listening position C cannot be more than
4.5 meters (15 feet) closer than the distance between
the listening position and the front speakers A.
Place the speakers so that the difference in the length
of C in the above diagram is no more than
4.5 meters (15 feet) closer than the length of A.
Example: Adjust the distance C to 1.5 meters
(5 feet) or more when the distance A is 6 meters
(20 feet).
This is important because incorrect speaker
placement is not conductive to the enjoyment of
surround sound. Please note that placing the
speakers closer than the required will cause a delay
in the output of the sound from that speaker. In other
words, the speaker will sound like it is farther away.
Adjusting these parameter while listening to the
sound often results in much better surround sound.
Tips
• The angle A should be the same.
• Since the subwoofer does not emit highly
directional signals, you can place it wherever you
want.
