Positioning Speakers
The front left, center, and right speakers, surround left and right speakers, and subwoofer can be connected to the AV
receiver.
You can reproduce the sounds such as Dolby surround and DTS surround.
■ Standard speaker placement
Speaker placement plays an important role in the reproduction of Surround sound.
The placement of the speakers varies depending on the size of the room and the wall coverings used in the room. The
illustration below shows an example of a layout for standard speaker placement. Refer to this example when you position
the speakers in order to experience the best of Surround sound.
For ideal Surround effects, all speakers should be installed.
If a center speaker or subwoofer is not connected, the sound from the unused channel is properly distributed to the
connected speakers in order to reproduce the best Surround sound possible.
Front
The center speaker reproduces a richer sound image by enhancing the perception of the sound's source and movement.
The left, right, and center speakers should face the seated listener and be placed at ear level.
Surround
The surround speakers reproduce the feel of a moving sound while creating the sensation of being in the middle of the action.
Place the left and right surround speakers 1 meter (3 feet) above the listener's ear level and facing toward the sides of the room, making sure
that the listener is within the speakers' dispersion angle.
Subwoofer
Install a subwoofer with a built-in power amplifier for powerful bass sounds.
The placement of the subwoofer does not affect the final quality of the sound image
much, therefore, you can install it wherever it is convenient.
Refer to the speakers’ instruction manuals for details.
