Speaker setting examples
2.When not using surround back speakers
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.

subwoofer for advice on placing the subwoofer within the listening room.
•If the surround speakers are
•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.
•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.

• If the surround speakers are | As seen from the side |
(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.
(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.

Surround back speakers
As seen from above
•Set the front speakers, center speaker
and subwoofer in the same positions as in example (1).
•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.
•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.
