Speaker setting examples

Here we describe a number of speaker settings for different purposes. Use these examples as guides to set up your system according to the type of speakers used and the main usage purpose.

1.DTS-ES compatible system (using surround back speakers)

(1)Basic setting for primarily watching movies

This is recommended when mainly playing movies and using regular single way or 2-way speakers for the surround speakers.

(3)When using different surround speakers for movies and music

To achieve more effective surround sound for both movies and music, use different sets of surround speakers and different surround modes for the two types of sources.

Front speakers	• Set the front speakers slightly wider apart than the setup for watching
	movies only and point them toward the listening position in order assure

	clear positioning of the sound.
Monitor	• Set the center speaker in the same positions as in example (1).
	• Set surround speakers A for watching movies in the positions described in
Subwoofer
45° ~ 60°	example (1) or (2), depending on the types of speakers used.
	• Set surround speakers B for playing multi-channel music at the same height

•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.

• When using two surround back speakers, place them at the back facing the

front at a narrower distance than the front left and right speakers. When

using one surround back speaker, place it at the rear center facing the front

at a slightly higher position (0 to 20 cm) than the surround speakers.

2.When not using surround back speakers

• We recommend installing the surround back speaker(s) at a slightly

downward facing angle. This effectively prevents the surround back

channel signals from reflecting off the monitor or screen at the front center,

resulting in interference and making the sense of movement from the front

to the back less sharp.

• 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 9.)

•Set the front speakers with their front surfaces

as flush with the TV or monitor screen as possible. Set the center speaker between the front left and right speakers and no further from the listening position than the front speakers.

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

(2)Setting for primarily watching movies using diffusion type speakers for the surround speakers For the greatest sense of surround sound envelopment, diffuse radiation speakers such as bipolar types, or dipolar types, provide a wider dispersion than is possible to obtain from a direct radiating speaker (monopolar). Place these speakers at either side of the prime listening position, mounted above ear level.

• 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 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 9.)

•It is best to place the surround speakers

directly at the side or slightly to the front of the viewing position, and 60 to 90 cm

above the ears.

• Same as surround back speaker installation method (1).

Using dipolar speakers for the surround back speakers as well is more effective.

•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 9.)

•The signals from the surround channels reflect off the walls as shown on the diagram at the left, creating an enveloping and realistic surround sound presentation.

For multi-channel music sources however, the use of bipolar or dipolar speakers mounted at the sides of the listening position may not be satifactory in order to create a coherent 360 degree surround sound field. Connect another pair of direct radiating speakers as described in example (3) and place them at the rear corners of the room facing towards the prime listening position.
