When all audio, video and system
connections have been made, there are a
few configuration adjustments to be
made. A few minutes spent to correctly
configure and calibrate the unit will
greatly add to your listening experience.
Speaker Selection and Placement
The placement of speakers in a multi
channel home theater system can have a
noticeable impact on the quality of sound
reproduced. For Home THX operation it is
recommended that the speakers carry the
certification mark of Lucasfilm Ltd.’s
Home THX Division. However, with
careful selection and placement, the AVR
80 will deliver accurate reproduction with
any high quality speakers.
No matter which type or brand of
speakers are used, the same model or
brand of speaker should be used for the
front left, center and right speakers. This
creates a seamless front soundstage, and
eliminates the possibility of distracting
sonic disturbances that occur when a
sound moves across mis-matched front
channel speakers.
For the most accurate and exciting
reproduction of bass frequencies a
separate subwoofer should be used. When
THX Certified front channel speakers are
used a separate subwoofer is mandatory,
as THX front and center speakers are not
designed for extreme low frequencies.
