Speaker Setup

For the best possible surround sound, all the speakers other than the subwoofer should be the same distance from the listening position (A). However, this receiver allows you to place the center speaker up to 1.5 metres a) closer (B) and the surround and the surround back speakers up to 4.5 metres b) closer (C, D) to the listening position.

The front speakers can be placed from 0.9 to 6.9 metres c) (A) from the listening position.

Canadian numerical equivalents:

a)5 feet (1.5 metres)

b)15 feet (4.5 metres)

c)3 to 23 feet (0.9 to 6.9 metres)

Note

Do not place the center, surround and the surround back speakers farther away from the listening position than the front speakers.

When color irregularity occurs on the TV

If speakers are installed too close, color irregularity may occur on the screen. If color irregularity occurs, turn off the TV set once, then turn it on after 15 to 30 minutes. If color irregularity occurs again, place the subwoofer farther away from the TV set. If color irregularity still occurs after performing the above, make sure that no magnetic object is placed near the subwoofer. Color irregularity may occur as a result of interaction between the subwoofer and the magnetic object.

Examples of possible sources of magnetic interference include: magnetic latches on a TV stand, etc., healthcare devices, toys, etc.

Specifying the speaker parameters

To obtain the best possible surround sound, first specify the size and the distance of the speakers from your listening position, then set the level and balance. Use the test tone to adjust the speaker level and balance to the same level. Select “SPEAKER SETUP” in the setup display. For details, see “Settings for the Speakers” (page 70).

Also change the impedance value depending on your speaker’s impedance. For details, see “Changing the Speaker Impedance Value” (page 50).
