Preferred Surround Placement
Location
If possible, place surround speakers to either side of the listening area, not behind it.
Height
If space permits, install surround speakers
Aiming
Aim surround speakers straight across the room, not down at viewers, to help create a more open, spacious surround sound field.
Alternative Surround Placement
Rear Wall
If rear wall mounting is the only choice, aim the speakers at each other (A), towards the front (B) or towards the sidewalls (C, D). Experiment with placement until sounds seem to surround you, rather than come from behind you.
Speaker Setting
Use this option to select parameters for the analog 5.1 channel output.
•2ch
Select when a 2 channel stereo system is connected to the player.
•5.1ch
Select when a 5.1 channel surround system is connected to the player.
When you select 5.1 ch, you can set the speaker sizes, distance to each speaker and the crossover frequency.
Crossovers split the audio signal into separate frequency bands and sends the frequencies to the speakers that are capable of playing them. For example, if your small speakers can’t play frequencies lower that 80Hz, the crossover will separate the audio signal so frequencies lower than 80Hz will go to a larger speaker that is capavle of playing them. You can choose between 80 Hz/100 Hz/120 Hz.
1 Select a speaker by pressing the arrow buttons, and press OK.
2 Select the size by pressing the up/down buttons, and press OK.
