Speaker Setup - Yamaha DSP-E492 Owner's Manual

SPEAKERS TO BE USED
This unit is designed to provide the best sound-field quality with a 5-speaker configuration. The most effective speakers to use with
this unit are main speakers, rear speakers and a center speaker. You may omit the center speaker. (Refer to the "4-Speaker
Configuration" shown below.)
The main speakers are used for the main source sound plus the effect sounds. They will probably be the speakers from your present
stereo system. The rear speakers are used for the effect and surround sounds, and the center speaker is for the center sounds
(dialog etc.) within programs encoded with Dolby Surround. The center speaker needs to be equal in power to the main speakers,
although the rear speakers should not be equal. However, all the speakers should have high enough power handling to accept the
maximum output of this unit.
SPEAKER CONFIGURATION
5-Speaker Configuration
This configuration is the most effective and recommended one.
In this configuration, the center speaker is necessary as well as
the rear speakers. If the program DOLBY PRO LOGIC or
DOLBY PRO LOGIC ENHANCED is selected, conversations
will be output from the center speaker and the ambience will be
excellent.
•
Set the center channel mode to the "NORMAL" or "WIDE"
position. (For details, refer to page 18.)
