Connecting speakers

Before connecting the speakers, it is very important to place them properly for the optimum sound space for your listening pleasure. Be sure to refer to the instruction manuals that came with the speakers during placement and connection. Furthermore, be aware that for surround playback, the configuration and placement of your speakers are both very important.

Standard speaker setup for surround sound

•Front right and left speakers

•Center speaker

Produces a rich sound image by serving as a sound source for the front right and left speakers and enhancing the sonic movement.

•Surround right and left speakers

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

•Surround back speaker

Required for enjoying Dolby Digital EX or DTS-ES audio. Improves the quality of sound effects and the realistic acoustics.

•Subwoofer

Produces powerful and heavy bass.

Minimum speaker configuration for surround sound playback

•Front right and left speakers

•Surround right and left speakers

The sound recorded for the center speaker and the subwoofer will be properly distributed to the front right and left 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 examples of speaker placement and recommendations are shown.

Important points regarding speaker placement

Front left and right speakers and center speaker
