Multi channel surround
setup
For the best possible surround sound, all speakers should be the same distance from the listening position (A).
However, the receiver lets you place the center speaker up to 1.5 meters (5 feet) closer (B), the surround speakers up to 4.5 meters (15 feet) closer (C) and the surround back speaker up to
4.5meters (15 feet) closer (D) to the listening position.
The front speakers can be placed from 1.0 to
7.0meters (3 to 23 feet) from the listening position (A).
You can place the surround speakers either behind you or to the side, depending on the shape of your room (etc.).
