Connecting Your Speakers
Enjoying Home Theater
You can use two sets of speakers with the AV receiver: speaker set A and speaker set B.
Speaker set A should be installed in your main listening room and can be used with Dolby Digital and DTS surround material. Each speaker must be positioned at a specific location in your listening room to get the best from surround sound material. The following illustration shows the best positions for your
Speaker set B can be installed in another room. Speakers can be positioned in the standard position for stereo speakers or however you like.
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 equi- distant 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.
Subwoofer
The subwoofer handles the bass sounds of the LFE
obtained by installing the subwoofer in a front corner,
or at
the wall, as shown.
