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 back 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.
Surround back speaker
To connect two surround back speakers, connect a 2 channel power
amplifierto the PRE OUT SBL and SBR terminals on the SR8300, and
connect the surround back left & right speakers to that power
amplifier.
You will also need to make the appropriate setting in the OSD Menu:
SPEAKER SETUP → SPEAKER SIZE → SURR BACK=2CH (see
page 31).
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.
HEIGHT OF THE SPEAKER UNITS
Front left and right speakers, and a center speaker
Align the tweeters and mid-range drivers on the three front speakers
on the same height as well as possible.
Surround left and right speakers, and surround back speaker
Place the surround left, right and surround back speakers higher to
your ears 2 Ft. - 3 Ft.(70cm – 1m). Also place the speakers on the
same height.
Note;
• Use magnetically-shielded speakers for front left, right and the
center speakers when the speakers are installed near the TV and
the TV is a monitor type.
