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 [] [] 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 speakers and no further from the listening position than the front speakers • Consuk the owner's manual for your subwoofer for advice on placing Surround speaker \ Frontspeaker Point slightly downwatds \ the subwoofer within the listening room • If the surround speakers are direct+radiating (monopolar) then place 60to90 cm 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 As seen from the side • When using two sunound 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 inter[erence 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 su;'roundsound from the speakers to the listening position • Set the front speakers, center speaker and subwoofer in the same positions as in example (1) • It is best to place the surround speakers directly at the side or slightly to the front of the viewing position, and 60 to 90 cm above the ears Surround speaker Surround back Point slightly downwards • Same as surround back speaker installation method (1) 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 Surround back speakers (1 spkr or 2 spkrs) shown on the diagram at the left, creating an enveloping and realistic surround sound presentation As seen from the side For multi-channel music sources howeve+, 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 AS seen from above 2. When not using surround back speakers • Set the front speakers with their front sur[aces as flush with the TV or monitor screen as possible 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 As seen from the side 120 ° As seen from above 67
