Speaker setup

We recommend you to set up a multi-speaker system to enjoy the 5.1 channel surround sound of sources encoded with Dolby
Digital, MPEG or DTS.

Speaker configuration

The most recommended speaker configuration is the 6 speaker
configuration: 2 main speakers, 2 effect speakers, a center
speaker and a subwoofer.
The main speakers are used for the main source sound. The
effect speakers are used for the effect and surround sounds,
and the center speaker is for the center sounds (dialog etc.).
The subwoofer is for reinforcing low frequencies on your audio
system and low frequency effect sounds of the subwoofer-
channel.

Placing speakers

Main speakers:
On both sides of the TV and almost the
same height as the TV.
Effect speakers:
Behind your listening position, facing
slightly inward. Nearly 1.8 m (approx. 6
feet) up from the floor.
Center speaker:
Precisely between the main speakers.
(To avoid interference with TV sets, use a
magnetically shielded speaker.)
Subwoofer:
The position of the subwoofer is not so
critical because low bass tones are not
highly directional.
For China and General models only
This unit is designed to output signals of 5.1 channels
efficiently according to your speaker system if you cannot set
up a full 6 speaker configuration. It depends on the setting of "3
Speaker" on the SET UP menu. Refer to pages 62 to 63 for
details. However, this setting is effective only on audio signals
output from the 6CH DISCRETE terminals.
