Set-Up & Configuration
16
Side Surround Speakers
The surround speakers provide the reverberant, or ambi-
ent, sound effects in a multi-channel theater audio system.
These speakers should be placed on the side walls approxi-
mately 36" above the seated ear height of the listeners.
If you are using surround speakers which have a dipole
sound pattern they should be mounted in-line with the
main seating position. If the surrounds are direct radiator,
they should be just behind the main listening seat.
Rear (Back) Surround Speakers
Some software provides extra channels that are used in 7.1
mode systems to provide extra depth in the soundfield.
Place these speakers approximately 36" above the seated ear
height of the listeners. Additionally, they should be mount-
ed close together (less than 12" apart) on the rear wall of
the theater facing the screen. If you must place the speakers
further apart, make certain to change the Advanced Speaker
Array setting in the set up menus.
Subwoofer
The subwoofer is a large speaker that provides the bottom
end "kick" in the system. Depending on the size of your lis-
tening space, you may require more than one subwoofer to
get the bass volume levels that you desire. Make certain you
remember to include the size of all spaces that are open to
the theater in determining harmony subwoofers you need.
Connection Tips
Even if you're an electronics veteran, this part may seem
repetitive, but some things can never be repeated too many
times.
• Turn off all components before making any connections.
• When making connections, make sure that "left goes to
left" and "right goes to right." The obvious and time-hon-
ored way to assure this is to assign RED plugs to Right and
WHITE/GREY/BLACK plugs to the left. Yellow is usually used
for video cables or digital audio connections.
