SPEAKER INSTALLATION
Speaker Installation Examples for Surround
To get the most out of the surround system, place the speakers as
shown below.
An example of speaker location
If the rear speakers are positioned at an extreme distance, the surround
level becomes unable to adjust and the surround effect will not be fully
achieved.
NOTE:
• To avoid interference with the picture on a nearby TV set, use
magnetically shielded speaker systems. This is particularly important
for the center speaker since it is usually located closest to the TV.
• Position the left and right channel speakers at equal distances from
the TV set and approximate six feet from each other.
• Position the center speaker above, bebw, or behind the TV set. Sound
may not appear to coincide with the picture if you position it next to
the TV set.
• Rear speakers are best positioned siightly above ear level.
SIMULATED STEREO
This function transforms monaural signals into simulated stereo sound.
Use it when you wish to experience a sense of stereo presence when
listening to AM broadcasts, or VCR and other monaural signal sources. NOTE:
The simulated stereo function can also be used with stereo sound
sourt^, but it will result in an effect ^jmewhat different from thenormal
stereo sound.
