The speaker layout above shows the standard ITU-R

speaker setting. You can use it to enjoy CINEMA DSP,

multi-channel audio sources.

1.8 m (6 ft)

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 is for the center channel sounds

(dialog, vocals, etc.). If for some reason it is not practical

to use a center speaker, you can do without it.

Best results, however, are obtained with the full system.

Align the front face of the center speaker with the front

face of your video monitor. Place the speaker centrally

between the front speakers and as close to the monitor as

possible, such as directly over or under it.

Surround speakers (SR and SL)

The surround speakers are used for effect and surround

sounds. Place these speakers behind your listening

position, facing slightly inwards, about 1.8 m (6 ft) above

the floor.

CONNECTIONS

Subwoofer

The use of a subwoofer, such as the YAMAHA Active

Servo Processing Subwoofer System, is effective not only

for reinforcing bass frequencies from any or all channels,

but also for high fidelity reproduction of the LFE (low -

frequency effect) channel included in Dolby Digital and

DTS software. The position of the subwoofer is not so

critical, because low bass sounds are not highly

directional. But it is better to place the subwoofer near the

front speakers. Turn it slightly toward the center of the

room to reduce wall reflections.
