Hooking Up the System
Depending on the shape of your room (etc.), you may
wish to place the rear speakers behind you instead of
on the side walls. One advantage of this placement is
that you can use a pair of large floor standing speakers
matching your front speakers.
Note
If you place the rear speakers behind you, be sure to check
the rear speaker position setting in the SPEAKER SETUP
before using the VIRTUAL MULTI REAR and VIRTUAL
REAR SHIFT sound fields (see pages 22 and 33 to 34 for
details).
