A Connecting speakers
On the rear panel of the TX-DS656, two sets of speaker terminals are
provided; one for main-room speakers and the other for sub-room
speakers. This section provides information on connecting the main-
room speakers.
• For how to connect sub-room speakers, see "Multi-room system
connections" on pages 46, 47.
• For how to set speakers, see "Speaker system setup" on pages 21-24.
Speaker placement
In this section, only typical examples of speaker placement are shown.
Note, however, that ideal speaker placement varies depending on the
size of the room and the wall coverings used in the room.
To obtain ideal sound field effects, the Left and Right front speakers
must be placed at the same distance from the listening position.
Recommendations
• Left and Right front speakers (L/R) and Center speaker (C)
- Place these three speakers at the same height from the floor.
- Place each speaker so that sound is aimed at the audience's ears
at the listening position.
• Left and Right Surround speakers (LS/RS)
Place these speakers so that their height is 1 meter higher than that
of the audience's ears.
• Subwoofer (SW)
Place it anywhere in your listening room because the placement of
the Subwoofer affects the perceived direction of the sound very
little.
If your speaker system lacks Subwoofer, Center speaker, or
Surround speakers
To get the highest-quality surround sound, you need a complete
speaker system as shown. Even so, you can enjoy quality surround
sound by setting up the speakers (see pages 25-28) so that the sound
originally allocated to non-existing speakers is properly distributed to
the existing Left and Right front speakers.

counterclockwise.
