Connecting speakers

Connecting speakers

For locating speakers, see “About Home Theater” on page 14 and “Surround back speaker placement” on this page.

Connect only speakers with an impedance between 6 and 16 to the DTR-6.4/5.4. Connecting speakers with an impedance lower than 6 may damage the amplifier.

When connecting one surround back speaker

1.Connect the speaker to the SURROUND BACK SPEAKER terminals on the DTR-6.4/5.4.

2.(DTR-6.4 only) Set the “Hardware Config” “b. Surr Back” setting to “1 ch” (see page 32).

Tip:

When you use one surround back speaker and want to connect it through power amplifier, use the SURR BACK PRE OUT L terminal. In this case, the setting for the “b. Surr Back” should be

When connecting two surround back speakers (DTR-6.4 only)

1.Make connections between the SURR BACK PRE OUT L/R terminals on the DTR-6.4 and the audio input terminals on the auxiliary power amplifier, and connect the surround back speakers to the power amplifier (see page 23 for details).

2.Set the “Hardware Config” “b. Surr Back” setting to “2 ch (PRE OUT)” (see page 32).

Note:

If you connect the surround back speakers to the power amplifier connected to the SURR BACK PRE OUT terminals on the DTR-6.4

for 7.1ch sound playback, do not connect the surround back speakers to the SURROUND BACK SPEAKER terminals on the DTR-6.4 Connecting the surround back speakers to both the DTR-

Two surround back speakers (DTR-6.4 only)

When using two surround back speakers, make connections between the PRE OUT terminals on the DTR-6.4/5.4 and the audio input terminals on the external stereo amplifier, and connect the speakers to the external amplifier.

The figure on left below shows the speaker placement for dipolar speakers.

Dipole speakers are the bidirectional speakers which produces same sound in two directions such as both forward and backward.

Most dipole speakers have an arrow on them which can be used to match the audio phase*. For making the audio phase in the room correct, dipolar surround speakers should be placed so that their arrows point toward the screen and dipolar surround back speakers should be placed so that their arrows point each other.

*phase: The word represents the specific waveform point in a sign wave cycle (0 to 360 degrees). When the distance between speakers, the speaker
