Getting Started
Speaker Placement
Normally, to obtain the best possible surround sound
all speakers should be placed the same distance from
your listening position (A).
This unit, however, allows you to place the centre
speaker closer (B), so that it lines up with the front
speakers. The rear speakers can also be placed closer
(C), according to the shape of your room.
If you feel that this placement reduces the surround
effects, you can adjust the centre and rear delay
parameters to obtain the effect you desire (see page 9).
Note
To take full advantage of Dolby Digital (AC-3) surround
effects we reccommend using high quality speakers. We also
reccommend using front, centre, and rear speakers that are
of the same size and quality.
Notes
Do not place the centre or rear speakers farther away from
the listening position than the front speakers.
When mounting the rear speakers on side walls
perpendicular to the listening position they should be
placed 60 - 90 cm above the listening position.
