SPEAKER PLACEMENT

 

 

The ideal surround speaker system for this unit is

7-speaker systems, using front left and right

 

 

speakers, a center speaker, surround left and right

 

speakers, a surround back and a subwoofer.

 

For best results we recommend that all front

 

speakers be of the same type, with identical or

 

similar driver units. This will deliver smooth pans

 

across the front sound stage as the action moves

 

from side to side.

 

 

 

Your center channel speaker is very important as

 

over 80 % of the dialog from a typical motion

 

picture emanates from the center channel.

 

It should possess similar sonic characteristics to

 

the main speakers. Surround channel speakers

 

need not be identical to the front channel

 

speakers, but they should be of high quality.

 

The surround center speaker is useful for playback

 

of Dolby Digital Surround EX or DTS-ES. One of

 

the benefits of both Dolby Digital (AC-3) and DTS

 

is that surround channels are discrete full range,

 

while they were frequency limited in earlier “Pro

 

Logic’ type systems.

 

 

 

Bass effects are an important part of home theater.

 

For optimal enjoyment a subwoofer should be

 

used as it is optimized for low frequency

 

reproduction. If you have full range front speakers,

 

however, they may be used in place of a

 

subwoofer with proper setting of the switches in

 

the menu system.

Surround left and right speakers

Place the speakers right beside of the listening position or a little forward. Do not place the speakers backward of the listening position.

Surround back speaker

Place the speaker behind of the listening position.

Subwoofer

We recommend to use a sub-woofer to have maximum bass effect. Sub-woofer bears only low frequency range so you can place it anywhere in the room.

HEIGHT OF THE SPEAKER UNITS

Front left and right speakers, and a center speaker

Align the tweeters and mid-range drivers on the three front speakers on the same height as well as possible.

Surround left and right speakers, and surround back speaker

Place the surround left, right and surround back speakers higher to your ears (2 Ft. - 3 Ft. (70cm – 1m)). Also place the speakers on the same height.

2 Ft. - 3 Ft.

(70cm – 1m)
