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.
(1)Basic setting for primarily watching movies
This is recommended when mainly playing movies and using regular single way or
(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.

movies only and point them toward the listening position in order assure | ||

•Consult the owner’s manual for your
subwoofer for advice on placing the subwoofer within the listening room.
• If the surround speakers are |
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.

•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.
