THX speaker system setup
If you have a complete THX speaker system, follow the
diagram below to place your speakers. Note that the
surround speakers (
indicates bi-polar radiating
speakers) should output at an angle parallel to the
listener.
If you have two surround back speakers THX
recommends placing them together and the same
distance from your listening position so you can take
advantage of the ASA feature. For more details see
Advanced Speaker Array™ (ASA) on page 108.
See also THX Audio Setup on page 93 to make the settings
that will give you the best sound experience when using
the Home THX modes (on page 43).
Speaker system setup for DVD-Audio/
multichannel music sources
The best speaker placement for DVD-Audio (and other
multichannel music sources) may be different than for
regular DVD discs. For these formats, some sound
studios use the setup shown in the diagram below (as
recommended by ITU-R) instead of the setups in
Basic
surround setup above.
Note
• If you connect an alternate set of surround speakers,
you can use speaker system B to provide additional
surround sound options when listening to
multichannel music sources. See
Alternating
surround speaker setups using speaker system B (ITU-
R) on page 81 for how to set it up.
• If you’re using two surround back speakers, you can
select the STANDARD SX listening mode during
DVD-Audio playback to simulate the sound achieved
from the setup shown in the diagram above. The
sound from the surround and surround back
speakers are combined to create a virtual surround
speaker.
