[E] 5.1 channel surround system & ZONE 2
connection (Multi Zone)
Speaker System setting: ZONE 2
With these connections you can simultaneously enjoy
5.1-channel surround sound in the main zone with stereo
playback on another component in ZONE 2. (The
selection of input devices is limited.)
Important
•The Speaker System setting must be made if you
use any of the connections shown above other than
[A] (see Speaker system setting on page 83).
Sound does not come through simultaneously from
the front height, front wide, speaker B and surround
back speakers. Output speakers are different
depending on the input signal or listening mode.
Other speaker connections
•Your favorite speaker connections can be selected
even if you have fewer than 5.1 speakers (except front
left/right speakers).
When not connecting a subwoofer, connect speakers
with low frequency reproduction capabilities to the
front channel. (The subwoofer’s low frequency
component is played from the front speakers, so the
speakers could be damaged.)
After connecting, be sure to conduct the Auto
MCACC (speaker environment setting) procedure.
See Automatically conducting optimum sound tuning
(Auto MCACC) on page 37.
Placing the speakers
Refer to the chart below for placement of the speakers
you intend to connect.
•Place the surround speakers at 120º from the center.
If you, (1) use the surround back speaker, and, (2)
don’t use the front height speakers / front wide
speakers, we recommend placing the surround
speaker right beside you.
If you intend to connect only one surround back
speaker, place it directly behind you.
Place the left and right front height speakers at least
one meter (3.3 ft.) directly above the left and right
front speakers.
THX speaker system setup
If you are using a THX certified subwoofer, use the THX
INPUT jack on the subwoofer (if your subwoofer has one)
or switch the filter position to THX on your subwoofer.
See also THX Audio Setting on page 85 to make the
settings that will give you the best sound experience
when using the Home THX modes (page 53).
Some tips for improving sound quality
Where you put your speakers in the room has a big effect
on the quality of the sound. The following guidelines
should help you to get the best sound from your system.
•The subwoofer can be placed on the floor. Ideally, the
other speakers should be at about ear-level when
you’re listening to them. Putting the speaker s on the
floor (except the subwoofer), or mounting them very
high on a wall is not recommended.
•For the best stereo effect, place the front speakers 2
m to 3 m (6 ft. to 9 ft.) apart, at equal distance from
the TV.
•If youre going to place speakers around your CRT TV,
use shielded speakers or place the speakers at
a
sufficie
nt distance from your CRT TV.
•If youre using a center speaker, place the front
speakers at a wider angle. If not, place them at a
narrower angle.
