Speaker placement
Subwoofer
Front speakers : Place to the front left and right of the listening position.
Front speakers are required for all surround modes.

sound image and helps recreate sound motion. Be sure to connect a
center speaker when using the Dolby 3 Stereo mode.
Surround speakers : Place to the direct left and right, or slightly
behind, the listening position at even heights, approximately 1 meter
above the ears of the listeners. These speakers recreate sound motion
and atmosphere. Required for surround playback.

• Although the ideal surround system consists of all the speakers listed
above, if you don't have a center speaker or a subwoofer, you can
divide those signals between the available speakers in the speaker
settings steps to obtain the best possible surround reproduction from
the speakers you have available.

Setting up the system
Channel space switching
(Except for the USA, Canada, UK, Europe, and Australia)
The space between radio channels has been set to the one that prevails
in the area to which the system is shipped. However, if the current
channel space setting does not match the setting in the area where the
system is to be used, for instance when you move from area 1 or area
2 shown in the following table or vice versa, proper reception of AM/FM
broadcasts cannot be expected. In this case, change the channel space
setting in accordance with your area by referring to the following table.

Notes
1. The supplied batteries may have shorter lives than ordinary batteries due
to use during operation checks.
2. When the remote-controllable distance gets shorter than before, replace
both batteries with new ones.
3. Placing the remote sensor in direct sunlight, or in direct light from a high
frequency fluorescent lamp may cause a malfunction.
In such a case, change the location of the system installation to prevent
malfunction.
