The effective area of surround sound will vary
depending on the sound field selection (FOCUS
SURROUND or WIDE STAGE). You can change
the sound field setting for optimal front surround
sound effect.
For details, see “Enjoying Surround Sound Using
Sound Fields” (page 87).
Notes about positioning the front speakers
For best results, observe the following:
– Place both front speakers the same distance apart
as they are from the listening position (to form an
equilateral triangle).
– The front speakers should be placed at least
0.6 m apart.
– The front speakers should be placed at ear level
in the listening position.
– Place the front speakers forward of the TV.
Make sure there are no reflecting obstacles in
front of the speakers.
– Both front speakers should be pointed straight
forward. Do not place the speakers at an angle.
– Do not leave a space in front of the front speakers
when placed on a table or rack, etc., as reflection
may occur.
z Hints
• When checking the front surround sound effect, make
sure the SOUND FIELD setting is set to “FOCUS
SUR,” and that one or two people are in the listening
position.
• You can attach the front speaker to the speaker stand
(not supplied).
Notes about obtaining the appropriate
surround sound
By using D.C.A.C. (Digital Cinema Auto
Calibration), you can adjust the distance and the
level of the front speakers and subwoofer to the
appropriate level automatically. For operations,
see page 120.
