5.1 Configuration

Place each surround loudspeaker an equal distance away from your central listening position, and keep them at least one or two feet above ear level (with you sitting down).

6.1 System

With two surround back loudspeak- ers, set the surround back loudspeakers behind and between the surround loudspeakers.

5.1 System

They can be placed behind the listening position, on the rear walls or the side walls.

You can also experiment with “toeing- in” the speakers slightly, to direct the high frequencies to the listening position. The CRM-2’s side-firing drivers will create desired reflections from the side walls. This broadens the sound stage so that you cannot distinguish the sound as coming from the loudspeakers, but rather from a larger area behind you.

6.1 and 7.1 Configuration

Sunfire home theater processors and receivers have two extra outputs for surround back loudspeakers. These create a wonderful sense of realism in surround effects during playback of Dolby Digital EX, Dolby Pro Logic IIx, and DTS-ES.

Such systems can be configured for one or two surround back loudspeakers.

If you are connecting one surround back loudspeaker, place it directly behind your listening position and move the surround loudspeakers to the side as shown.

Sunfire home theater processors and receivers have two side-axis channels that are matrixed from the left and right front channels, and they are available in stereo as well as surround modes.

Place the side-axis loudspeakers along the side walls, close to the fronts. You can also angle them in towards your listening position.
