Connecting the Speakers Speakers There are 5 speakers jacks on the back of the unit (2 front, 1 center, 2 rear). In order to enjoy good sur- round effects, all five speakers need to be connected to the receiver. At least two front speakers (left and right) are required. For better sound quality, Center speaker, rear speakers and Subwoofer should also be connected. Adding center and rear speakers will enhance surround effects. If you want to enjoy full range of sound effects, with small speakers, it is a must to use the subwoofer with the speakers to maintain adequate bass signal. Connecting the Speakers To connect the ...

1 Left, Right (Front Speakers) They carry primarily music and sound effects 2 Center In surround mode, the center speaker carries much of the dialogue as well as music and effects. It should be set between the left and right speakers. 3 Surround (Rear Speakers) Their overall sound balance should be as close as pos- sible to the front speakers. Proper placement is vital to establish an evenly distributed sound field. Subwoofer A subwoofer is designed to reproduce powerful low bass effects (explosions, the rumble of spaceships, etc.) which dramatically heightens involvement with the action on the screen. I ...

Location If possible, place surround speakers to either side of the listening area, not behind it. Height If space permits, install surrounds 2-3 feet (60 - 90 cm) above viewers. This helps to minimize localization effects. Aiming Aiming surrounds straight across the room, not down at viewers, helps create a more open, spacious sur- round sound field. Advanced Setting Alternative Surround Placement Rear wall If rear wall mounting is the only choice, aim the speakers at each other (A), towards the front (B) or even towards the sidewalls (C, D). Experiment with placement until surround sounds seem to envelop y ...

Channel balance Your receiver is equipped with a test signal generator for balancing the channels. As the signal "travels" from channel to channel, adjust the level controls until each channel plays at the same loudness level. Level adjustment & surround channel level expectation Even though you adjust the surround channel to be as loud as the others on the test signal, you'll find that on actual program material the surround chan- nel is usually much lower than the front. Don't be tempted to readjust the surround level; program pro- ducers use surround mostly for subtle atmospheric and ambience, and onl ...
