Enjoying Home Theater

Center speaker
Complements the sound effects from
front left and right speakers to enrich
and clear the sound image and
movement. In movies, an actor's speech
comes mainly from the center speaker.
• When placing the center speaker
above or below the TV, tilt it toward
the listener's ears.
• Place the center speaker as close to
the screen or monitor as possible and
in the center between the left and
right front speakers. When placing
the center speaker near the TV, use a
shielded speaker.
Subwoofer
Outputs only bass sounds to
enhance and complement bass
sound effects.
• For optimum surround playback, set the distance between the listener and the speakers so that the time it takes
the sound to reach the listener is the same. Also, you need to set each speaker volume level individually in order
to balance the volume level between speakers (See pages 92 to 94 in the main manual).
Front left and right speakers
Outputs overall sound. They play the most important role in a home theater
system, by creating basic sound images and fields.
• Place the front left and right speakers symmetrically and so that the dis-
tance from the listening position is the same.
• When placing speakers, direct the speakers toward the position of the
listener's ears where the listener sits to enjoy music or movies.
Surround left and right speakers
Enhances the sensation of being at a live performance by giving three-dimensional
sound movement to the sound effects.
• Place these speakers on each side of, or angled behind, the listener.
• Place the surround speakers symmetrically from the listener position and so that the
distance from the listener is equal between left and right surround speakers.
