Subwoofer
Front speaker
Listening position
Surround speaker
Front speakers : Place to the front left and right of the listening position. Front speakers are required for all surround modes.
Center speaker : Place front and center. This speaker stabilizes the sound image and helps recreate sound motion. Be sure to connect a center speaker when using the Dolby 3 Stereo mode.
Surround speakers : Place to the direct left and right, or slightly behind, the listening position at even heights, approximately 1 meter above the ears of the listeners. These speakers recreate sound motion and atmosphere. Required for surround playback.
Subwoofer : Reproduces powerful deep bass sounds.
•Although the ideal surround system consists of all the speakers listed above, if you don't have a center speaker or a subwoofer, you can divide those signals between the available speakers in the following steps to obtain the best possible surround reproduction from the speakers you have available.
