Multi-Channel Surround Setup

For the best possible surround sound all speakers should
be the same distance from the listening position (A).
Ideal placement of the rear speakers is at the side of the
listening position in the region within the shaded area
shown in the illustration below. Even when speakers
cannot all be placed at equal distances from the listening
position, it is possible to place speakers (including the sub
woofer) at a distances of 1 ~ 12 m (3 ~ 40 feet) from the
listening position. If this is the case, by accurately setting
the distance of each speaker, the amplifier can
automatically adjust the audio output to produce an ideal
surround sound effect.

Notes
• The difference in distance of the nearest and farthest speakers
from the listening position should not exceed 8.4 m (27 feet).
• When mounting rear speakers at the sides of the listening
position, ideal speaker height is about 60 ~ 90 cm (2 ~ 3 feet)
above ear height.

Depending on the shape of your room (etc.), you may
wish to place the rear speakers behind you instead of on
the side walls (the shaded area). One advantage of this
placement is that you can use a pair of large floor
standing speakers that match your front speakers.

If you place the rear speakers behind you, be sure to check the

of the "VIRTUAL" sound fields (see pages 20, 23 and 24 for
details).
