SETTING UP THE SPEAKERS

This system is designed to provide the best sound-field quality with a 5 speaker configuration: front speakers, rear speakers and a center speaker. You may omit the center speaker, if for some reason it is not practical to use a center speaker. (Refer to the “4- 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 DOLBY PRO LOGIC or DOLBY 3 STEREO is selected, conversations will be output from the center speaker and the ambience will be excellent.

cSet the center channel mode to the “NORMAL” position. (For details, refer to page 15.)

(2)4-Speaker Configuration

The center speaker is not used in this configuration. If the sound field program DOLBY PRO LOGIC is selected, the center sound is output from the left and the right front speakers, although the program DOLBY 3 STEREO is useless in this configuration. However, the sound effect of other programs can be the same as that of the 5- speaker configuration.

cBe sure to set the center channel mode to the

“PHANTOM” position. (For details, refer to page 15.)

Note

Be sure to use two rear speakers. If you connect one rear speaker only, sound will not be output from the rear speaker.

Speaker placement

In normal position.
