Connecting speakers

The DTR-7/6 allows you to connect two speaker systems.

Before connecting the speakers, place them correctly by consulting the instruction manuals that came with your speakers.

For surround playback (see “Using the listening modes” on page 34), the configuration and placement of your speakers are very i mportant. For Home THX cinema surround playback, we recommend that you use a THX speaker system that is certified by Lucasfilm Ltd. (such as Onkyo HTS SYSTEM-2).

Ideal speaker configuration:

•Right and Left front speakers

•Center speaker

Produces a rich sound image by serving as a sound source for the Right and Left front speakers and enhancing the sonic move- ment.

• Right and Left surround speakers

Adds three-dimensional sonic movement and produces environ- mental sound associated with the background and effect sound for each scene.

• Subwoofer

Produces powerful and heavy bass.

Minimum speaker configuration for surround sound playback:

•Right and Left front speakers

•Right and Left surround speakers

The sound recorded for the center speaker and the subwoofer will be properly distributed to the Right and Left front speakers and the Right and Left surround speakers for optimized surround playback.

Speaker placement

Ideal speaker placement varies depending on the size of your room and the wall coverings. Here, only typical example of speaker place- ment and recommendations are shown.

Speaker systems

Left and Right front speakers and Center speaker

•Place these three speakers at the same height from the floor.

•Place each speaker so that sound is aimed at the audience's ears at the listening position.

Left and Right surround speakers

• Place these speakers so that their height is 1 meter higher than that of the audience's ears.

Subwoofer

To get the highest bass effect, place a subwoofer.

You can place your subwoofer anywhere in your room because the placement affects very little the perceived sound.
