Step 2 Connect speakers The ideal placement is to set each speaker (excluding the subwoofer) the same distance away from the listening-viewing position. Measure the actual distance from each of the connected speakers to the listening-viewing position and perform steps instructed in "Setting distances" (á page 35) or perform steps instructed in "Auto speaker setup using the setup microphone" (á page 24) when you cannot install speakers the same distance away. Example: Center speaker (1), front speakers (2), surround speakers (2), surround back speaker(s) (1 or 2) and subwoofer This is a placement suited for playing 6.1-channel sources (Dolby Digital Surround EX and DTS-ES materials). This placement offers 7.1/6.1-channel playback of 2-channel and 5.1-channel sources with the aid of Dolby Pro Logic , NEO:6, and SFC technology.
