Zone 1 speaker layout

Ideal speaker layout varies depending on the conditions of your listening room. The diagram below is a recommended typical

example.Subwoofer

Left front speaker(s) Center speaker		Right front speaker(s)
(L)	(C)	(R)

Left surround	Right surround
speaker (LS)	speaker (RS)

Surround back speakers (SB)

CAUTION:

Do not place the center speaker on the TV. If you do so, the center speaker may cause various troubles to the TV (for example, color unevenness). Moreover, it may hurt you by its falling from the TV.

Placing speakers

Front speakers (L/R) and center speaker (C)

•Place these speakers at the same height from the floor, at or near ear level.

•Array across the front of the viewing area.

Surround speakers (LS/RS) and surround back speakers (SB)

•Place these speakers at a position which is 60 cm to 90 cm higher than the listener’s ears.

•Point these speakers directly across the listening area, but not at the listener’s ears.

Subwoofer

•You can place it wherever you like since bass sound is non- directional. Normally place it in front of you.

*When only one speaker is connected for the surround back speaker.

Note:

Ideal speaker layout requires that all speakers be placed at the same distance from the listener. However, since in some places it may be difficult to fulfil this requirement, this receiver can adjust the delay time so that the sounds through all the speakers reach the listener with the same timing. (See page 35.)

Surround back speakers*

*When using only one surround back speaker, connect the speaker as follows:
