Listening to your system
Home theater sound setup
Depending on the size and characteristics of your room,
you can choose to place your speakers in one of two ways
using this system:
• Standard surround 5-spot setup – This is a
standard multichannel surround sound speaker
setup for optimal 5.1 channel home theatre sound.
Use the standard Surround and Advanced Surround
listening modes with this setup.

• Front surround 3-spot setup – This setup is ideal
when rear surround speaker placement isn't possible
or you want to avoid running long speaker cables in
your listening area. Use this setup together with the
Front Surround modes to take advantage of wall and
ceiling reflections for a very realistic surround effect.

Note
• The front, center and surround speakers, and
subwoofer supplied with this system are
magnetically shielded. However, placing them
extremely close to a television may result in color
distortion on the screen. If this happens, move the
speakers a little further away and switch off the
television for 15–30 minutes.
• Make sure you have completed Using the Room
Setup on page 21. For a more detailed surround
sound setup, see Using the System Setup menu on
page 92.
• Certain features explained in this section may not be
possible depending on the source (for example, 88.2
/ 96 kHz sources), or a conflicting system setting. See
Front panel display error messages on page 131 for
more on this.

Listening with home theater sound
You can listen to any source—DVD discs, the radio, an
external component—in stereo or surround sound, as
you like. If you want to listen to the source as it was
mastered, select the Auto listening mode. This
automatically selects a listening mode depending on the
channels present in the source material.
