CONNECTIONS

The speaker layout below shows the standard ITU-R

speaker setting. You can use it to enjoy CINEMA DSP and

multi-channel audio sources.

ITU-R is the radio communication sector of the ITU

(International Telecommunication Union).

Front left and right speakers (FL and FR)

The front speakers are used for the main source sound plus

effect sounds. Place these speakers at an equal distance

from the ideal listening position. The distance of each

speaker from each side of the video monitor should be the

same.

Center speaker (C)

The center speaker is for the center channel sounds

(dialog, vocals, etc.). If for some reason it is not practical

to use a center speaker, you can do without it. Best results,

however, are obtained with the full system. Place the

center speaker centrally between the front speakers and as

close to the monitor as possible, such as directly over or

under it.

Surround left and right speakers (SL and SR)

The surround speakers are used for effect and surround

sounds. Place these speakers behind your listening

position, facing slightly inwards, about 1.8 m (6 ft) above

the floor.

Surround back left and right speakers

(SBL and SBR)

The surround back speakers supplement the surround

speakers and provides more realistic front-to-back

transitions. Place these speakers directly behind the

listening position and at the same height as the surround

speakers. They should be positioned at least 30 cm (12 in)

apart. Ideally, they should be positioned at the same width

as that of the front speakers.

Presence left and right speakers (PL and PR)

The presence speakers supplement the sound from the

front speakers with extra ambient effects produced by

CINEMA DSP (see page 71). These effects include

sounds that filmmakers intent to locate a little farther back

behind the screen in order to create more theater-like

ambience. Place these speakers at the front of the room

about 0.5 – 1 m (1 – 3 ft) outside the front speakers, facing

slightly inward, and about 1.8 m (6 ft) above the floor.

Subwoofer (SW)

The use of a subwoofer with a built-in amplifier, such as

the YAMAHA Active Servo Processing Subwoofer

System, is effective not only for reinforcing bass

frequencies from any or all channels, but also for hi-fi

stereo sound reproduction of the LFE (low-frequency

effect) channel included in Dolby Digital and DTS

sources. The position of the subwoofer is not so critical,

because low bass sounds are not highly directional. But it

is better to place the subwoofer near the front speakers.

Turn it slightly toward the center of the room to reduce

wall reflections.
