Be sure to connect the speakers correctly. Speaker impedance After confirming the speaker impedance indications printed on the rear panel of the receiver, connect speakers with matching impedance ratings. Using speakers with a rated impedance other than that indicated on the rear panel of the receiver could result in malfunctions or damage to the speakers or receiver. Surround back speaker (LB) Surround back speaker (RB) Front speakers : Place the left and right speakers at each side of your TV. Angle the speakers towards the listening area to enhance the stereo effect. Center speaker : Place front and center. This speaker stabilizes the sound image and helps recreate sound motion. Required for surround playback. Surround speakers : Place the surround speakers as high as possible, either directly to the sides of the listening area or else slightly behind the listening area. Adjust the angles so that these speakers are facing directly towards the listeners. Subwoofer : Usually, place the subwoofer in the front center position in the listening room, near one of the front speakers. (Since the subwoofer has less directivity than other speakers, it can be placed almost in any position that can offer the best low frequency reproduction according to the room layout.) Surround back speakers : Place the surround back speaker behind the listening position, at the same height as the left and right surround speakers. ¶ Although the ideal surround system consists of all the speakers listed above, if you don't have a center speaker or a subwoofer, you can divide those signals between the available speakers in the speaker settings steps to obtain the best possible surround reproduction from the speakers you have available. ^ 11 EN
