Placing Speakers - JVC RX-8040B Instructions Manual

Zone 1 speaker layout
Ideal speaker layout varies depending on the conditions of your
listening room. The diagram below is a recommended typical
example.
Center speaker
Left front speaker(s)
(C)
(L)
Left surround
speaker (LS)
Surround back speakers (SB)
CAUTION:
Do not place the center speaker on the TV. If you do so, the center
speaker may cause various troubles to the TV (for example, color
unevenness). Moreover, it may hurt you by its falling from the TV.

Placing speakers

Front speakers (L/R) and center speaker (C)
• Place these speakers at the same height from the floor, at or near
ear level.
• Array across the front of the viewing area.
Surround speakers (LS/RS) and surround back speakers (SB)
• Place these speakers at a position which is 60 cm to 90 cm higher
than the listener's ears.
• Point these speakers directly across the listening area, but not at
the listener's ears.
Subwoofer
• You can place it wherever you like since bass sound is non-
directional. Normally place it in front of you.

Note:
Ideal speaker layout requires that all speakers be placed at the
same distance from the listener. However, since in some places it
may be difficult to fulfil this requirement, this receiver can adjust the
delay time so that the sounds through all the speakers reach the
listener with the same timing. (See page 35.)
