ITI_-R is the radio conmmnication
sector of the ITU
(International
Teleconmmnication
Union).
\
Surround speakers (SR and SL)
The sun'ound
speakers
are used for effect and surround
sounds.
Place these speakers
behind
your listening
position,
facing
slightly
inwards,
about
1.8 m (6 ft) above
the floor.
Subwoofer
The use of a subwoofer,
such as the YAMAHA
Active
Servo Processing
Subwoofer
System,
is effective
not only
for reinforcing
bass frequencies
fi'om any or all channels,
but also for high fidelity reproduction
of the LFE (low-
frequency
effect)
channel
included
in Dolby
Digital
and
DTS software.
The position
of the subwoofer
is not so
critical,
because
low bass sounds
are not highly
directional.
But it is better to place the subwoofer
near the
fi'ont speakers.
Turn it slightly
toward
the center of the
room to reduce wall reflections.
Front
speakers (FR and FL)
The front speakers
are used for the main source sound plus
effect sounds.
Place these speakers
an equal distance
fi'om
the ideal listening
position.
The distance
of each speaker
from each side of the video
monitor
should be the same.
Center speaker (C)
The center speaker
is for the center channel
sounds
(dialog,
vocals,
etc.). If for some reason
it is not practical
to use a center
speaker, you can do without
it. Best results,
however,
are obtained
with the full system.
Align the fi'ont
face of the center speaker
with the front face of your video
monitor.
Place the speaker
centrally
between
the front
speakers
and as close to the monitor
as possible,
such as
directly
over or under it.
