Surround speaker

Front speakers: Place to the front left and right of the listening position at equal distances from both the unit and 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 more natural sound motion.

Surround (rear) speakers: Place to the direct left and right, or slightly behind, the listening position at even heights approximately 1 meter (3.5 ft.) above the ears of the listeners. These speakers recreate rear sound motion and atmosphere, and are required for surround playback. Subwoofer: Reproduces deep bass and other low frequency sounds.

By performing the “Surround Options” setup operations, this unit makes automatic adjustments to account for the way the speakers have been set up in order to deliver the

best possible surround sound.
