Home theater sound setup
Depending on the size and characteristics of
your room, you can place your speakers in one
of two ways using this system:
1
•
Standard surround 5-spot setup
– This is
a standard multichannel surround sound
speaker setup for optimal 5.1 channel
home theater sound.
•
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

then refer to
Speaker
distance setting
on the next page to complete
your surround sound setup.
