SPEAKER PLACEMENT
The ideal surround speaker system for this unit is
7-speaker systems, using front left and right
speakers, a center speaker, surround left and right
speakers, a surround back and a subwoofer.
For best results we recommend that all front
speakers be of the same type, with identical or
similar driver units. This will deliver smooth pans
across the front sound stage as the action moves
from side to side.
Your center channel speaker is very important as
over 80 % of the dialog from a typical motion
picture emanates from the center channel.
It should possess similar sonic characteristics to
the main speakers. Surround channel speakers
need not be identical to the front channel
speakers, but they should be of high quality.
The surround center speaker is useful for playback
of Dolby Digital Surround EX or DTS-ES. One of
the benefits of both Dolby Digital (AC-3) and DTS
is that surround channels are discrete full range,
while they were frequency limited in earlier “Pro
Logic’ type systems.
Bass effects are an important part of home theater.
For optimal enjoyment a subwoofer should be
used as it is optimized for low frequency
reproduction. If you have full range front speakers,
however, they may be used in place of a
subwoofer with proper setting of the switches in
the menu system.
Front left and right speakers
We recommend to set the front L and R speakers
with 45-60 degrees from the listening position.
Center speaker
Align the front line of the center speaker with the
front L/R speakers. Or place the center speaker a
little backward from the line.
Surround left and right speakers
Place the speakers right beside of the listening
position or a little forward. Do not place the
speakers backward of the listening position.
Surround back speaker
Place the speaker behind of the listening position.
Subwoofer
We recommend to use a sub-woofer to have
maximum bass effect. Sub-woofer bears only low
frequency range so you can place it anywhere in
the room.
