Connecting speakers

The unit allows you to use 6.1 channel system.

The ideal surround speaker system for this unit is 6- speaker systems, using front left and right speakers, a center speaker, surround left and right speakers, surround center speaker, and a subwoofer.

You can enjoy high fidelity reproduction of DVD software recorded in the Surround EX format if you connect the surround center speaker (6.1 channel).

For best results we recommend that all front speakers be of the same type, with identical or similar driver units. This the action moves from side to side.

Your center channel speaker is very important as over 80 % of the dialog from a typical motion picture emanates from the center channel. It should possess similar sonic characteristics to the main speakers. Surround channel speakers need not be identical to the front channel speakers, but they should be of high quality.

The surround center speaker is useful for playback of Dolby Digital Surround EX or DTS-ES. One of the benefits of both Dolby Digital and DTS is that surround channels are discrete full range, while they were frequency limited in earlier "Pro Logic" type systems.

Bass effects are an important part of home theater.

For optimal enjoyment a subwoofer should be used as it is optimized for low frequency reproduction.

Front left and right speakers

These output the overall sound. Their role in a home theater is to provide a solid anchor for the sound image. They should be positioned facing the listener at about ear level, and equidistant from the TV. Angle them inward so as to create a triangle, with the listener at the apex.

Center speaker

This speaker enhances the front left and right speakers, making sound movements distinct and providing a full sound image. In movies it’s used mainly for dialog.

Position it close to your TV (preferably on top) facing forward at about ear level, or at the same height as the front left and right speakers.

Surround left and right speakers

These speakers are used for precise sound positioning and to add realistic ambience.

Position them at the sides of the listener, or slightly behind, about 2–3 feet (60–100 cm) above ear level. Ideally they should be equidistant from the listener.

Surround center speaker

Surround center speaker is required when a full 6.1- channel system is installed.

This speaker is necessary to enjoy Dolby Digital EX, DTS-ES Matrix, and DTS-ES Discrete. They enhance the realism of surround sound and improve sound localization behind the listener. Position them behind the listener about 2–3 feet (60–100 cm) above ear level.

Subwoofer

The subwoofer handles the bass sounds of the LFE (Low-Frequency Effects) channel.

The volume and quality of the bass output from your subwoofer will depend on its position, the shape of your listening room, and your listening position. In general, a good bass sound can be obtained by installing the subwoofer as shown left.

Tip

To find the best position for your subwoofer, while playing a movie or some music with good bass, experiment by placing your subwoofer at various positions within the room, and choose the one that provides the most satisfying results.
