•Consult the owner’s manual for your subwoofer for advice on placing the subwoofer within the listening room.

•If the surround speakers are direct-radiating (monopolar) then place them slightly behind and at an angle to the listening position and parallel to the walls at a position 60 to 90 centimeters (2 to 3 feet) above ear level at the prime listening position.

•Connect the surround speakers to the surround speaker A jacks on the AVR-3802 and set all settings on the setup menu to “A”. (This is the factory default setting. For details, see page 16.)
