Speaker setting examples Here we describe a number of speaker settings for different purposes. Use these examples as guides to set up your system according to the type of speakers used and the main usage purpose. [1] For THX Surround EX systems (using surround back speakers) q Basic setting for primarily watching movies This is recommended when mainly playing movies and using regular single way or 2-way speakers for the surround speakers. Front speakers Center speaker Monitor Subwoofer 45° Surround speakers Additional Information • When using two surround back speakers, set them at the back facing front and with both speakers at the same distance from the listening point. When using one surround back speaker, place it at the rear center facing the front at a slightly higher position (0 to 20 cm) than the surround speakers. • We recommend installing the surround back speaker(s) at a slightly downward facing angle. This effectively prevents the surround back channel signals from reflecting off the monitor or screen at the front center, resulting in interference and making the sense of movement from the front to the back less sharp. • Connect the surround speakers to the surround speaker A terminals on the AVR-4806 and set settings on the setup menu to "A". (This is the factory default setting ( page 126).) w Setting for primarily watching movies using diffusion type speakers for the surround speakers For the greatest sense of surround sound envelopment, diffuse radiation speakers such as bipolar types, or dipolar (THX) types, provide a wider dispersion than is possible to obtain from a direct radiating speaker (monopolar). Place these speakers at either side of the prime listening position, mounted above ear level.

Set the center speaker between the front left and right speakers and no further from the listening position than the front speakers. • Consult the owner's manual for your subwoofer for advice on placing the subwoofer within the listening room. • If the surround speakers are direct-radiating (monopolar) then place them slightly behind and at an angle to the listening position and parallel to the walls at a position 60 to 90 centimeters (2 to 3 feet) above ear level at the prime listening position.
