Front surround setup

This setup is ideal when rear surround speaker placement isn't possible or you want to avoid running long speaker cables in your listening area. Use this setup together with the Front Surround modes in page 20 to take advantage of wall and ceiling reflections for a very realistic surround effect.

3 Connect the speaker system.

Refer to Connecting up to connect the speakers properly. After connecting everything, place the speakers as shown in the diagram (left) for optimal surround sound (the surround speakers are next to the front speakers).

4Turn the speakers as shown, following the guide marks for optimal Front Surround.

If you have selected FRTMOVIE (Front Surround Movie) or FRTMUSIC (Front Surround Music), turn each surround speaker so that the guide markers on the stand base are lined up horizontally in the direction the listening position (see below). With EXTPOWER (Extra Power), the surround speakers should point in the same direction as the front speakers (see below).

See Using Front Surround on page 20 for more information.
