ENGLISH 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. DTS-ES compatible system (using surround back speakers) (1) 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 60° Surround back speakers (1 spkr or 2 spkrs) As seen from above • Set the front speakers with their front surfaces as flush with the TV or monitor screen as possible. Set the center speaker between the front left and right Surround speaker Front speaker Surround back speaker Point slightly downwards speakers and no further from the listening position than the front speakers. 60 to 90 cm • Consult the owner's manual for your subwoofer for advice on placing the subwoofer within the listening room. As seen from the side • 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 above ear level at the prime listening position. • When using two surround back speakers, place them at the back facing the front at a narrower distance than the front left and right speakers. 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. (2) 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 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. Path of the surround sound from the speakers to the listening position Surround speakers 60° Surround back speakers (1 spkr or 2 spkrs) As seen from above • Set the front speakers, center speaker and subwoofer in the same positions as in example (1). • It is best to place the surround speakers Surround speaker Surround back speaker Front speaker Point slightly downwards directly at the side or slightly to the front of the viewing position, and 60 to 90 cm 60 to 90 cm above the ears. • Same as surround back speaker installation method (1). As seen from the side Using dipolar speakers for the surround back speakers as well is more effective. • Connect the surround speakers to the surround speaker jacks. • The signals from the surround channels reflect off the walls as shown on the diagram at the left, creating an enveloping and realistic surround sound presentation. For multi-channel music sources however, the use of bipolar or dipolar speakers mounted at the sides of the listening position may not be satisfactory in order to create a coherent 360 degree surround sound field. Connect another pair of direct radiating speakers as described in example (3) and place them at the rear corners of the room facing towards the prime listening position. 2. When not using surround back speakers Front speakers Center speaker Monitor Subwoofer 45° 120° Surround speakers As seen from above • Set the front speakers with their front surfaces as flush with the TV or monitor screen as possible. Set the center speaker between the Surround speaker front left and right speakers and no further from Front speaker the listening position than the front speakers. • Consult the owner's manual for your subwoofer for advice on placing the subwoofer 60 to 90 cm within the listening room. • If the surround speakers are direct-radiating As seen from the side (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 above ear level at the prime listening position. Surround The AVR-2802 is equipped with a digital signal processing circuit that lets you play program sources in the surround mode to achieve the same sense of presence as in a movie theater. Dolby Surround (1) Dolby Digital (Dolby Surround AC-3) Dolby Digital is the multi-channel digital signal format developed by Dolby Laboratories. Dolby Digital consists of up to "5.1" channels - front left, front right, center, surround left, surround right, and an additional channel exclusively reserved for additional deep bass sound effects (the Low Frequency Effects - LFE - channel, also called the ".1" channel, containing bass frequencies of up to 120 Hz). Unlike the analog Dolby Pro Logic format, Dolby Digital's main channels can all contain full range sound information, from the lowest bass, up to the highest frequencies - 22 kHz. The signals within each channel are distinct from the others, allowing pinpoint sound imaging, and Dolby Digital offers tremendous dynamic range from the most powerful sound effects to the quietest, softest sounds, free from noise and distortion. 2 Dolby Digital and Dolby Pro Logic Comparison of home surround systems Dolby Digital No. recorded channels (elements) 5.1 ch No. playback channels 5.1 ch Playback channels (max.)
