Surround Sound Setup

The speaker layout below shows the standard ITU-R speaker setting. You can use it to enjoy CINEMADSP, multi-channel audio sources and THX.

FLCFR

Surround Back Speakers (SBR and SBL)

The Surround Back speakers supplement the surround speakers and provide for more realistic front-to-back transi- tions. Place these speakers directly behind the listening position and at approximately 5.9” (1.8) above the fl oor, the same height as the surround speakers. Ideally these should be positioned with the same distance between each other as is between the front speakers or no less than 11.8” (30 cm).

Subwoofer

A subwoofer is great for not only reinforcing bass frequen- cies from any or all channels but also for high fi delity repro- duction of the LFE (low-frequency effect) channel included in Dolby Digital and DTS software. It is best to position the subwoofer near the front speakers and turn it slightly to- wards the center of the room to reduce wall refl ections.

Di-Pole Speaker Layout

Either Di-pole or direct radiating speaker types can be used for THX surround sound. If you choose di-pole speakers, please place the surround and surround back speakers ac- cording to the speaker layout below.

Front Speakers (FR and FL)

�� � ��

The front speakers are used for the main source sound plus effect sounds. Place these speakers an equal distance from the ideal listening position. The distance of each speaker from each side of the video monitor should be the same.

Center Speaker (C)

The center speaker plays the center channel sounds (dialogue, vocals, etc.). Align the front face of the center speaker with the front face of your video monitor. Place the speaker directly between the front speakers and as close to the TV/monitor as possible.

NOTE: If for some reason it is impractical to use a center speaker, it can be left out but for best results it is recom- mended that you use the full system.

Surround Speakers (SR and SL)

The surround speakers are used for effect and surround sounds. Place these speakers beh i nd the listening position, facing slightly inwards, approximately 5.9 ’ (1.8 m) above the fl oor.
