Yamaha RX-V730 Setup & Speaker Configuration Guide
Page 13

This unit has been designed to provide the best sound- field quality with a 6-speaker system, using main left and

fight speakers, rear left and right speakers, a center speaker, and a rear center speaker. If you use different brands of speakers (with different tonal qualities) in your system, the tone of a moving human voice and other types

of sound may not shift smoothly. We recommend that you

use speakers from the same manufacturer or speakers with the same tonal quality.

The main speakers are used for the main source sound plus effect sounds. They will probably be the speakers from your present stereo system. The rear speakers are used for effect and surround sounds. The center speaker is for the center sounds (dialog, vocals, etc.). The rear center

speaker supplements the rear (left and right) speakers and

provides for more realistic front-to-back transitions.

The main speakers should be high-performance models

and have enough power-handling capacity to accept the

maximum output of your audio system. The other

speakers do not have to be equal to the main speakers. For

precise sound localization, however, it is ideal to use the

models of equivalent performance with the main speakers.

•Use of a subwoofer expands your sound field

It is also possible to further expand your system with the

addition of a subwoofer. The use of a subwoofer is

effective not only for reinforcing bass frequencies from

any or all channels, but also for reproducing the LFE

(low-frequency effect) channel with high fidelity when playing back Dolby Digital or DTS signals. The

YAMAHA Active Servo Processing Subwoofer System is ideal for natural and lively bass reproduction.

Referto the following diagram when you place the speakers.

•Main speakers

Place the main left and right speakers an equal distance from the ideal listening position. The distance between each speaker and each side of the video monitor should also be the same.

•Center speaker

Align the front face of the center speaker with the front face of your video monitor. Place the speaker as close to the monitor as possible (such as directly over or under the monitor) and centrally between the main speakers.

•Rear speakers

Place these speakers behind your listening position, facing slightly inwards, nearly 1.8 m (6 feet) above the floor.

•Rear center speaker

Place the rear center speaker in the center between the rear left and fight speakers at the same height from the floor as the rear speakers.

•Subwoofer

The position of the subwoofer is not so critical, because

low bass sounds are not highly directional. But it is better

to place the subwoofer near the main speakers. Turn it slightly toward the center of the room to reduce wall reflections.

•If you do not use any of effect speakers (rear, center and/or rear

center), change the settings of SPEAKER SET items at the

SET MENU to designate the signals to other terminals you

connect speakers to.

Use magnetically shielded speakers. If this type of

speakers still creates the interference with the monitor, place the speakers away from the monitor.
