SETTING UP THE SPEAKERS
This unit is designed to provide the best sound-field quality with a 5-speaker configuration: a pair of front speakers, a pair of rear
speakers and a center speaker. You can use one rear speaker only instead of using two rear speakers, and omit the center
speaker. (Refer to the
“Speaker configuration” shown below.)
The front speakers are used for the main source sound plus the effect sounds. The rear speakers are used for the effect and
surround sounds, and the center speaker is for the center sounds (dialog etc.).

Speaker configuration
(1) 5-Speaker Configuration
This configuration is the most effective and recommended
one. In this configuration, the center speaker is
necessary as well as the rear speakers. If the sound field
program PRO LOGIC or 3 STEREO is selected,
conversations will be output from the center speaker and
the ambience will be excellent.
● Set the center channel mode to the “NORMAL”
position. (For details, refer to page 16.)
(2) 4-Speaker Configuration
(without the center speaker)
The center speaker is not used in this configuration. If the
sound field program PRO LOGIC is selected, the
center sound will be output from the left and the right front
speakers, although the program 3 STEREO is
useless in this configuration. However, the sound effect of
other programs can be almost the same as that of the 5-
speaker configuration.
● Be sure to set the center channel mode to the
“PHANTOM” position. (For details, refer to page 16.)
Note
As this unit is equipped with a monaural amplifier for the rear
channel, sounds output from the rear speakers are in
monaural. So, you may use one rear speaker only instead of
using two rear speakers.
However, the use of two rear speakers is recommended
when there are more than one listener in the listening room.
When using one rear speaker, place it right behind your
listening position.
Speaker placement
Front speakers: In normal position.
Rear speakers: Behind your listening position, facing
slightly inward. Nearly 1.8 m (approx.
six feet) up from the floor.
Center speaker: Precisely between the front speakers.
