The AVR5/AVR11/AVR21/AVR31/AV41 allows you to connect
up to sixteen speakers. The AV41 is designed to be used
with additional power amplifiers for all channels. The AVR5/
AVR11/AVR21/AVR31 has 7 channels of amplification. 5
channels of amplification correspond to speakers installed in
the front left, centre, front right, surround left, surround right.
The remaining 2 channels of amplification can be assigned
as:
bi-amp the front left and right
surround back left and surround back right
height 1 left and right
Zone 2 left and right (AVR21, AVR31, AV41)
Height front left, height front right, height back left, height
back right and five more additional speakers can be attached
using an additional power amplifier, see page EN-16 for more
information.
With the addition of correctly installed and configured
height channels, Dolby Atmos for the home, DTS:X or Auro
3D brings the ultimate cinema sound experience to your
home theatre to create powerful, moving audio that flows
around you.
The configuration and placement of your speakers
is very important. All speakers, with the exception of
the subwoofer(s), should be arranged around your normal
viewing/listening position. The subwoofer should be placed
in a position which gives an even frequency response in all
listening positions. Incorrect placement leads to bass boom
in some areas. Often the only way to find a good position
for your subwoofer(s) is by experimentation. A good place
to start experimenting is close to a wall but at least 1m
away from any corners. You can also consult your subwoofer
handbook for placement suggestions.
