CONNECTIONS

SPEAKER PLACEMENT

The ideal surround speaker system for this unit is 7-speaker systems, using front left and right speakers, a center speaker, surround left and right speakers, a surround center and a subwoofer.

For best results we recommend that all front speakers be of the same type, with identical or similar driver units. This will deliver smooth pans across the front sound stage as 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 (AC-3) 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. If you have full range front speakers, however, they may be used in place of a subwoofer with proper setting of the switches in the menu system.

SURROUND CENTER

Front left and right speakers

We recommend to set the front L and R speakers with 45-60 degrees from the listening position.

Center speaker

Align the front line of the center speaker with the front L/R speakers. Or place the center speaker a little backward from the line.

Surround left and right speakers

Place the speakers right beside of the listening position or a little forward. Do not place the speakers backward of the listening position.

Surround center speaker

Place the speaker right behind of the listening position.

Subwoofer

We recommend to use a sub-woofer to have maximum bass effect. Sub-woofer bears only low frequency range so you can place it anywhere in the room.

HEIGHT OF THE SPEAKER UNITS

Front left and right speakers, and a center speaker
