Cautions regarding the AC OUTLETS connectors

The TX-DS595 is supplied with AC mains outlets for connecting the power cords from other devices so that their power is supplied through the TX-DS595. By doing this, you can use the STANDBY/ ON button on the TX-DS595 to turn on and off the connected devices as well.

The shape, number, and total capacity of the AC outlets may differ depending on the area of purchase.

Caution:

Make sure that the total capacity of the other components connected to this unit does not exceed the capacity that is printed on the rear panel (e.g., 120 watts).

Connecting speakers

Positioning speakers

Speaker placement plays an important role in the reproduction of Surround sound. The placement of the speakers varies depending on the size of the room and the wall coverings used in the room. The illustration shows an example of a layout for standard speaker placement. Refer to this example when you position the speakers in order to experience the best of Surround sound.

Standard speaker placement

For ideal Surround effects, all speakers should be installed. If a center speaker or subwoofer is not connected, the sound from the unused channel is properly distributed to the connected speakers in order to produce the best Surround sound possible.

Front: The left, right, and center speakers should face the seated listener and be placed at ear level. The center speaker produces a richer sound image by enhancing the perception of the sound’s source and movement.

Surround: Place the left and right Surround speakers 3 feet (1 meter) above the listener’s ear level and facing toward the sides of the room, making sure that the listener is within the speakers’ dis- persion angle. These speakers produce the feel of a moving sound while creating the sensation of being in the middle of the action.

Subwoofer: Install a subwoofer with a built-in power amplifier for powerful bass sounds. The placement of the subwoofer does not affect the final quality of the sound image too much, so you can install it with the room layout in mind.
