Sunfire CRW-3 Speaker User Manual


 
User's Manual
9
If you have a Sunre or Carver system
equipped with Sonic Holography, then
it is recommended that you use a tape
measure to set the left and right loud-
speakers to be an equal distance away
from your listening position, within half
an inch tolerance. (Sonic Holography is a
unique process designed by Bob Carver
to enhance the three-dimensional effects
and realism of stereo sound.)
The Center Loudspeaker
Most movie dialog will come from the
center loudspeaker, so careful positioning
is an important part of a good home the-
ater system. Your eyes and ears should
focus your attention towards the center of
the display.
The CRW-3C center loudspeaker can
above, or directly underneath the display,
as long as it is located on the centerline
and not off to one side.
If possible, have the center, left and
right loudspeakers at the same height
(within two feet). This will help give a
smooth transition when sound effects
move from loudspeaker to loudspeaker.
We recommend that you keep the
CRW-3C grille on, as it is part of the
acoustic lens design of the center loud-
speaker.
The CRM-2 ribbon loudspeakers may
be used as surround loudspeakers, as
shown in the following systems and il-
lustrations. Alternatively, you can use the
CRW-3 in all surround locations.
5.1 Conguration
Place each surround loudspeaker an
equal distance away from your central
listening position, and keep them at least
one or two feet above ear level (with you
sitting down).
They can be placed behind the listen-
ing position, on the rear walls or the side
walls.
You can also experiment with “toeing-
in” the speakers slightly, to direct the high
frequencies to the listening position.
6.1 and 7.1 Conguration
Sunre home theater processors and
receivers have two extra outputs for sur-
round back loudspeakers. These create
a wonderful sense of realism in surround
effects during playback of Dolby Digital
EX, Dolby Pro Logic IIx, and DTS-ES.
Such systems can be congured for
one or two surround back loudspeakers.
If you are connecting one surround
back loudspeaker, place it directly behind
your listening position and move the sur-
round loudspeakers to the side as shown.
