SPEAKER SETTING UP FOR THIS UNIT

SPEAKERS TO BE USED

This unit is designed to provide the best sound-field quality with 5 speaker configuration. The speakers to be used with this unit will be mainly front speakers, rear speakers, and a center speaker. (You can delete a center speaker. Refer to the “4-Speaker Configuration” shown below.)

The front speakers are used for the output of the main source sound and the effect sound. They will probably be your present stereo speaker system. The rear speakers are used for the output of the effect sound. And the center speaker is used for the output of the center sound (dialogue etc.) encoded with the Dolby Surround. The rear and center speakers do not need to be equal with the front speakers. However, all the speakers should have high enough power handling to accept the maximum output of this unit that will drive them.

SPEAKER CONFIGURATION

5-Speaker Configuration

This configuration is the most effective and recommended. In this configuration, the center speaker is necessary as well as the rear speakers. If the digital sound field program is in the DOLBY PRO LOGIC or ENHANCED, conversations will be output from the center speaker and the ambience will be excellent.

●Set the center mode to the “NORMAL” or “WIDE” position. (For details, refer to the page 11.)

4-Speaker Configuration

The center speaker is not used in this configuration. If the digital sound field program is in the DOLBY PRO LOGIC or ENHANCED, the center sound is output from the left and the right front speakers. However, the sound effect of other programs can be the same as that of the 5-speaker configuration.

●Be sure to set the center mode to the “PHANTOM” position. (For details, refer to the page 11.)

SPEAKER PLACEMENT

Front: In normal position. (The position of your present stereo speaker system.)

Rear: Behind your listening position, facing slightly inward. Nearly six feet up from the floor.

Center: Precisely between the front speakers. (To avoid interference to TV sets, use a magnetically shielded speaker. If, however, it is not effective, keep the speaker away from TV sets.)
