Speaker Placement—Continued

Connection Examples

The DTR-10.5 has two speaker terminal blocks for speaker system [A] and [B]. This allows you to build two 7.1 ch home theater systems, and various speaker placements and connections are also available. For example, some channels of either speaker system can be used for another room (Zone 2), or you can select one of two speaker systems for playback according to the source.

When you use two speaker systems, you have to associate the speakers with the zone (e.g., Main A, Main B, etc.). After making the association, for example, pressing the “MAIN A” button on the remote controller will output the source from the speakers configured as “Main A.”

Here are some examples of speaker placement and zone association. These examples can be your reference when you build your own home theater system. The illustration on the right represents the actual settings displayed corresponding to each example. For details on configuring speaker placement and zone association, see page 88.

*In the following illustrations, white speakers denote speaker system [A] and gray ones denote speaker system [B]. *Key to abbreviations:

FL: Front left speaker; FR: Front right speaker; C: Center speaker; SL: Surround left speaker; SR: Surround right speaker;

SBL: Surround back left speaker; SBR: Surround back right speaker; SW: Subwoofer

When you wish to configure 7.1 ch speaker system in the main room A only, the initial setting can be used without any modification.

Main room A: 7.1 ch speaker system; Main room B: 7.1ch speaker system

Set all the zone parameters for speaker system [A] to “Main A.”

Set all the zone parameters for speaker system [B] to “Main B.”

Pressing the [Main A] or [Main B] button causes the sound to be output from the speaker system associated with the zone button. Both speaker systems

cannot be selected simultaneously.

*If you set all the zone parameters for speaker system [B] to “Main A” and play a single source, the same audio signal will be output from both speaker systems [A] and [B].

Set all the zone parameters for speaker system [A] to “Main A.” Set the zone parameters for speaker system [B] to “Main B” and “Zone 2” accordingly.

Both main room A and B cannot be used simultaneously. However, while either of the main rooms is used, you can enjoy a different source in Zone 2.

Note that when you use Zone 2, the surround back speakers for main room A cannot be used since Zone 2 uses the surround back speaker circuit for main room A.
