SETTING UP THE SPEAKERS

This unit is designed to provide the best sound-field quality with a 5-speaker configuration: a pair of front speakers, a pair of rear speakers and a center speaker. You can use one rear speaker only instead of using two rear speakers, and omit the center speaker. (Refer to the “Speaker configuration” shown below.)

The front speakers are used for the main source sound plus the effect sounds. The rear speakers are used for the effect and surround sounds, and the center speaker is for the center sounds (dialog etc.).

Speaker configuration

(1)5-Speaker Configuration

This configuration is the most effective and recommended one. In this configuration, the center speaker is necessary as well as the rear speakers. If the sound field

program PRO LOGIC or 3 STEREO is selected, conversations will be output from the center speaker and the ambience will be excellent.

c Set the center channel mode to the “NORMAL” position. (For details, refer to page 16.)

(2)4-Speaker Configuration (without the center speaker)The center speaker is not used in this configuration. If the

sound field program PRO LOGIC is selected, the center sound will be output from the left and the right front

speakers, although the program 3 STEREO is useless in this configuration. However, the sound effect of other programs can be almost the same as that of the 5-speaker configuration.

c Be sure to set the center channel mode to the “PHANTOM” position. (For details, refer to page 16.)

Note

As this unit is equipped with a monaural amplifier for the rear channel, sounds output from the rear speakers are in monaural. So, you may use one rear speaker only instead of using two rear speakers.

However, the use of two rear speakers is recommended when there are more than one listener in the listening room. When using one rear speaker, place it right behind your listening position.
