Speaker placement for STR-DE1015G

Normally, to obtain the best possible surround sound all speakers should be placed the same distance from your listening position (A).

This unit, however, allows you to place the center speaker closer (B), so that is lines up with the front speakers. The rear speakers can also be placed closer (C), according to the shape of your room.

If you feel that this placement reduces the surround effects, you can adjust the center and rear delay parameters to obtain the effect you desire (see page 39).

Note

To take full advantage of Dolby Digital (AC-3) surround effects we reccommend using high quality speakers. We also reccommend using front, center, and rear speakers that are of the same size and quality.

•Do not place the center or rear speakers father away from the listening position than the front speakers.

•When mounting the rear speakers on side walls perpendicular to the listening position they should be placed 60 - 90 cm (24 - 35 inches) above the listening position (as shown in “Speaker placement for STR- DE815G and STR-D760Z” on page 10).
