Placing speakers
5.1, 6.1, 7.1 etc. channel playback is possible on this unit. This page introduces speaker settings for 7.1 channel
playback.
The ideal placement is to set each speaker (excluding the subwoofer) the same distance away from the listening-viewing
position.
Measure the actual distance from each of the connected speakers to the listening-viewing position and perform steps
instructed in “Setting distances” (
➔
page 37) or perform steps instructed in “Auto speaker setup using the setup
microphone” (
➔
pages 24 and 25) when you cannot install speakers the same distance away.
Example: Front speakers (2), center speaker (1), surround speakers (2), surround back speakers (2) and
subwoofer (1)

Front speakers (A
right, B left)
Place on the left and right of the TV at seated ear height so that there is good coherency between the picture and sound.
C Center speaker
Place underneath or above the center of the TV.
When you do not install the center speaker, sound assigned to it is distributed to front speakers and output from them.
Surround speakers (D right, E left)
Place on the side of or slightly behind the listening-viewing position.
When you do not install surround speakers, sound assigned to them is distributed to front speakers and output from them.
Surround back speakers ( F right, G left)
Place behind the listening-viewing position, about 1 meter (3 feet) higher than ear level.
When you do not install any surround back speaker, sound assigned to them is distributed to surround speakers or front speakers
and output from them.
H Active Subwoofer
The subwoofer can be placed in any position as long as it is at a reasonable distance from the TV.
• Aim front faces of all speakers at the listening-viewing position for setting.
