Basic Speaker Placements for Home Theater and the Function of Respective Speakers

The TX-NR1000/TX-NR5000E has many excellent features to recreate a clear three-dimensional sound image and lively sound movement. This enables you to enjoy, at home, the rich sound effects of a live theater or concert hall performance. When playing a DVD, you can enjoy sound effects provided by DTS or Dolby Digital, depending on recording format. In addition, you can enjoy THX sound and Onkyo’s proprietary DSP surround playback for TV or digital satellite broadcasts.

Front left and right speakers

Outputs overall sound. They play the most important role in a home theater system, by creating basic sound images and fields.

Center speaker

Complements the sound effects from front left and right speakers to enrich and clear the sound image and movement. In movies, an actor’s speech comes mainly from the center speaker.

Subwoofer

Outputs only bass sounds to enhance and complement bass sound effects.

Surround back speakers

Enhances the sound space representation with surround channel signals. Recreating sound movement effects and sound fields behind the listener gives a more realistic experience.

Surround left and right speakers

Enhances the sensation of being at a live performance by giving three-dimensional sound movement to the sound effects.

For optimum surround playback, set the distance between the listener and the speakers so that the time it takes the sound to reach the listener is same. Also, you need to set each speaker volume level individually in order to balance the volume level between speakers (See pages 88 and 90).
