SPEAKER SETUP

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 can use one rear speaker only instead of using two rear

speakers, and omit the center speaker. (Refer to the “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 3 STEREO 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 page17.)

4-Speaker Configuration (without the center speaker)

The center speaker is not used in this configuration. If the

program DOLBY PRO LOGIC is selected, the center sound is

output from the left and the right main speakers. The program

DOLBY 3 STEREO is useless in this configuration. However,

the sound effect of other programs can be almost the same as

that of the 5-speaker configuration.

• Be sure to set the center channel mode to the “PHANTOM”

position. (For details, refer to page 17.)

SPEAKER PLACEMENT

The recommended speaker configuration, the 5-speaker

configuration, will require two speaker pairs: main speakers

(your normal stereo speakers), and rear speakers, plus a

center speaker. When you place these speakers, refer to the

following.

Main: In normal position. (The position of your present

stereo speaker system.)

Rear: Behind your listening position, facing slightly inward.

Nearly 1.8 m (approx. six feet) up from the floor.

Center: Precisely between the main speakers. (To avoid

interference with TV sets, use a magnetically shielded

speaker.)

Note

As this unit is equipped with a monaural amplifier for the rear channel, sounds output from the rear speakers are in monaural. So,

you may use one rear speaker only instead of using two rear speakers. However, the use of two rear speakers is recommended

when there are more than one listener in the listening room.

When using one rear speaker, place it right behind your listening position.
