ENGLISH CONNECTIONS SPEAKER PLACEMENT The ideal surround speaker setup for this unit is 8speaker, using front left and right speakers, a center speaker, surround left and right speakers, surround back left and right speakers, and a subwoofer. For best results we recommend that all front speakers be of the same type, with identical or similar driver units. This will deliver smooth pans across the front sound stage as the action moves from side to side. Your center channel speaker is very important as over 80% of the dialog from a typical motion picture emanates from the center channel. It should possess similar sonic characteristics to the main speakers. Surround channel speakers need not be identical to the front channel speakers, but they should be of high quality. The surround speaker is useful for playback of Dolby Digital Surround EX or DTS-ES. One of the benefits of both Dolby Digital and DTS is that surround channels are discrete full range, while they were frequency-limited in earlier "Pro Logic" systems. Bass effects are an important part of home theater. For optimal enjoyment a subwoofer should be used as it is optimized for low frequency reproduction. If you have full range front speakers, however, they may be used in place of a subwoofer with proper setting of the switches in the menu system. Surround Back Left Subwoofer Surround Left Front Left Surround Back Right 150° 135° Surround Right 110° 90° Front Center 0° 22° 30° Front Right Front left and right speakers We recommend setting the front left and right speakers 45-60 degrees from the listening position. Center speaker Align the front line of the center speaker with the front left and right speakers. Or, place the center speaker a little back from the line. Surround left and right speakers When the SR9600 is used in a surround setup, the preferred location for the surround speakers is on the side walls of the room, at or slightly behind the listening position. The center of the speaker should face into the room. CONNECTING SPEAKERS POWERED SUBWOOFER or SURROUND BACK RIGHT LEFT FRONT A FRONT B LEFT RIGHT LEFT RIGHT Surround back left and right speakers Surround back speakers are required when a full CENTER 7.1-channel system is installed. Speakers should be placed on a rear wall, behind the listening position. The center of the speaker should face into the room. DIGITAL IN (AUDIO) Subwoofer 1 S400 We recommend using a subwoofer to have maximum 2 bass effect. Subwoofer bears only low frequency 3 S400 range so you can place it anywhere in the room. 4 POWER AMPLIFIER 7.1CH IN INVERT INPUT OUTPUT INPUT LEVEL BTL EXT. CONT. IN REMOTE CONT.
