Preparing for surround sound

KR-V888D (En/T)

1 6 Surround set up

To obtain the most possible enjoyment from the receiver's various surround modes, be sure to complete the surround set up as shown below.

Preparations

1Speaker placement.

Center speaker

Subwoofer

Front speaker

Listening position

Surround speaker

Front speakers : Place to the front left and right of the listening position. Front speakers are required for all surround modes.

Center speaker : Place front and center. This speaker stabilizes the sound image and helps recreate sound motion. Be sure to connect a center speaker when using the Dolby 3 Stereo mode.

Surround speakers : Place to the direct left and right, or slightly behind, the listening position at even heights, approximately 1 meter above the ears of the listeners. These speakers recreate sound motion and atmosphere. Required for surround playback.

Subwoofer : Reproduces powerful deep bass sounds.

•Although the ideal surround system consists of all the speakers listed above, if you don't have a center speaker or a subwoofer, you can divide those signals between the available speakers in the following steps to obtain the best possible surround reproduction from the speakers you have available.
