Dolby 3 Stereo

Dolby 3 Stereo is available for systems that do not set surround speakers. When in the Dolby 3 Stereo mode the surround infor- mation is redirected to the front left and right speakers. This mode is designed for use with Dolby Surround program sources, but can also improve sound field unity for programs that are not Dolby Surround edcoded. Dialog positioning and sound im- age definition, however, may not be as accurate when used with programs that are not Dolby Surround edcoded.

Knowledge sections

Recommended speaker installation

It is recommended that the surround speakers are installed straight to the left and right of the listening position or slightly behind, at a height of about 1 meter higher than the listener’s ears. Each surround speaker should be installed so that the longer sides are horizontal.

How to use the speaker stabilizer (cushions)

When the surround speaker system installation is unstable due to the floor condition, apply the provided stabilizer (cushions) on four positions on the bottom of each speaker. (Except for CRS-N551)

Hanging on a wall

The surround speakers can be hung on a wall.

When hanging the surround speakers, select a rigid and hard place on the wall which can withstand the weight of the speak- ers.

1.Attach the provided mounting hardware onto the rear panel of each speaker using the provided screw. (Except for CRS-N551)

2.Install a screw, which is commercially available, with sufficient strength on the wall. When screwing in, leave the head and upper stem of the screw projected by 7 to 9 mm from the wall surface.

3.Mount each speaker by hooking up the hole of the speaker rear panel on the screw attached to the wall.

4.Check that the speakers are firmly mounted.
