Home theater sound setup

Place your speakers as shown below for
optimal surround sound (see the Speaker
Setup Guide for more placement tips).

Standard surround 5-spot setup – This is
a standard multichannel surround sound
speaker setup for optimal 5.1 channel
home theater sound.

HTZ161DVD only:

Depending on the size and characteristics of
your room, you can choose to use the following

setup option:

Front surround 3-spot setup – This setup
is ideal when rear surround speaker
placement isn’t possible or you want to
avoid running long speaker cables in your
listening area. Use this setup together with
the Front Surround modes to take
advantage of wall and ceiling reflections
for a very realistic surround effect.

After placing your speakers, complete Setting
the channel levels
below then refer to Speakers
settings
on page 28 to complete your surround
sound setup.
