mPlacing speakers

Main speakers: On both sides of the TV and almost the same height as the TV.

Effect speakers: Behind your listening position, facing slightly inward. Nearly 1.8 m (approx. 6 feet) up from the floor.

Center speaker: Precisely between the main speakers. (To avoid interference with TV sets, use a magnetically shielded speaker.)

Subwoofer: The position of the subwoofer is not so critical because low bass tones are not highly directional.

This unit is designed to output signals of 5.1 channels efficiently according to your speaker system if you cannot set up a full 6 speaker configuration. It depends on the setting of “3 Speaker” on the SET UP menu. Refer to pages 62 to 63 for details. However, this setting is effective only on audio signals output from the 6CH DISCRETE terminals.
