Denon AVR-2803/983 manual 1Basic setting for primarily watching movies

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)

Surround back speakers

{1 spkr or 2 spkrs)

As seen from above

•Set the front speakers with their front surfaces as flush with the TV

or monitor

as possible

speaker between

If the

direct+radiating (monopolar)

then

place

60to90

them slightly behind and at an angle to the listening position and

As seen from the side

•When using two sunound 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

•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 inter[erence and making the sense of movement from the front to the back less sharp

(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.

AS seen from above

•Set the front speakers, center speaker and subwoofer in the same

positions	as in example (1)					Surround speaker	Surround back
• It is best	to	place	the surround speakers	directly at the side	or slightly		Point slightly
to the front		of the	viewing position, and	60 to 90 cm above	the ears		downwards

•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 jacks

•The signals from the surround channels reflect off the walls as

2.When not using surround back speakers

•Set the front speakers with their front sur[aces 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

•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 As seen from the side
