•Speaker system layout Basic system layout

• The following is an example of the basic layout for a system consisting of six speaker systems and a television monitor:

Subwoofer

Center speaker system

	Front speaker systems
	Set these at the sides of the TV or screen with
	their front surfaces as flush with the front of the	Surround speaker systems
	screen as possible.	Surround speaker systems
	screen as possible.

With the AVR-5700 it is also possible to use the surround speaker selector function to choose the best layout for a variety of sources and surround modes.

•Surround speaker selector function

This function uses either or both of two systems of surround speakers (A and B) to achieve the optimum sound field for different sources. The speaker settings (on or off for A only, B only or A+B) are stored in the memory for the different surround modes and are recalled automatically when that surround mode is set.

A A

BB

Using A only

A	A
