Speaker Configuration

Once you are finished configuring the inputs, it is time to configure the
Model 990 for your particular loudspeaker system. You can perform this task
automatically or manually, but before proceeding, please read the following
information carefully.

Speaker Placement

The best speaker placement for your particular room will depend on its size,
furnishings, seating arrangement, and the acoustical properties of the space
(including room size, wall type, coverings, and various other factors).
Due to the complex nature of these variables, it is impossible to recommend
any one-size-fits-all placement. You may have to experiment with various
placement options to determine the best configuration for your specific situa-
tion. Please note that proper configuration and placement of your speakers is
critical for achieving the best possible surround-sound reproduction.
Here are some basic recommendations you should consider when positioning
your speakers:
Front left, center and right speakers
These speakers should be placed at the same relative height from the floor

and a similar distance from any walls. Most speakers sound best when
located with the tweeter at ear height when you're seated. Typically, the
further away from the walls the speakers are, the better they will sound.
Ensure that the speakers are aimed at the listener's ears within your chosen

seating position.
Surround left and right speakers
Place these speakers so that their height is approximately 1 meter (3 feet)

higher than that of the listener's ears, if feasible.
Place these speakers to the sides of, or slightly behind, the primary listen-

ing position.
Surround back left and right speakers
These speakers are required for Dolby Digital EX, DTS ES, Dolby Pro Logic IIx,
and 7-Channel Stereo. They are also desirable—though not required—for
DTS Neo:6.
Place these speakers behind the listener so that the angle between each

speaker and the listener is approximately 30 degrees.
Place these speakers so that their height is 1 meter (3 feet) higher than

that of the listener's ears.
