Speaker system layout

2 Basic system layout
The following is an example of the basic layout for a system consisting of eight speaker systems
and a television monitor:
page 73 ~
Subwoofer
Front speaker systems
Set these at the sides of the TV
or screen with their front surfaces
as flush with the front of the
screen as possible.
With the AVR-3806 it is also possible to use the surround speaker selector function to choose the
best layout for a variety of sources and surround modes.
2 Surround speaker selector function
This function makes it possible to achieve the optimum sound fields for different sources by
switching between two systems of surround speakers (A and B). The settings of the different
speakers (A only, B only or A+B) are stored in the memory for the different surround modes, so
they are set automatically when the surround mode is selected.
