• 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 in page 23 to take advantage
of wall and ceiling reflections for a very realistic
surround effect.
1 Connect the speaker system.
Refer to Connecting up to connect the speakers properly.
Place them as shown in the diagram above for optimal
surround sound.
The base of each surround speaker fits into the circular
groove on the top of the front speakers as shown.
2 Secure the speaker wire.
After testing for the slack necessary to turn the speaker
(see the following step), use the groove provided to
secure the speaker wire as shown. Leave 5 cm of slack
from the speaker terminals so the upper (surround)
speaker can turn freely.
3 Turn the surround speakers towards the closest
wall, lining the arrows up for optimal Front
Surround.
Turn each surround speaker so that the arrow at the
base is lined up with the FRONT SURROUND arrow on
the front speaker. This is only necessary with the
FRTMOVIE or FRTMUSIC modes. With EXTPOWER
(Extra Power), line up the arrow with the EXTRA
POWER arrow (the surround speakers should be in the
same direction as the front speakers.). See Using Front
Surround on page 23 for more informations.
Caution
• To prevent accidents, make sure the surround
speaker is placed securely on top of the front
speaker.
• Please don't attach the speakers to the wall or
speaker stands for Front surround 3-spot setup.
