Connecting speakers The TX-DS777/676 allows you to connect two speaker systems. Before connecting the speakers, place them correctly by consulting the instruction manuals that came with your speakers. For surround playback (see "Using the listening modes" on page 34), the configuration and placement of your speakers are very important. For Home THX cinema surround playback, we recommend that you use a THX speaker system that is certified by Lucasfilm Ltd. (such as Onkyo HTS SYSTEM-2). Ideal speaker configuration: • Right and Left front speakers • Center speaker Produces a rich sound image by serving as a sound source for the Right and Left front speakers and enhancing the sonic movement. • Right and Left surround speakers Adds three-dimensional sonic movement and produces environmental sound associated with the background and effect sound for each scene. • Subwoofer Produces powerful and heavy bass. Minimum speaker configuration for surround sound playback: • Right and Left front speakers • Right and Left surround speakers The sound recorded for the center speaker and the subwoofer will be properly distributed to the Right and Left front speakers and the Right and Left surround speakers for optimized surround playback. Speaker placement Ideal speaker placement varies depending on the size of your room 1 and the wall coverings. Here, only typical example of speaker place- ment and recommendations are shown. 2 3 4 5 Speaker systems Left and Right front speakers and Center speaker • Place these three speakers at the same height from the floor. • Place each speaker so that sound is aimed at the audience's ears at the listening position. Left and Right surround speakers • Place these speakers so that their height is 1 meter higher than that of the audience's ears. Subwoofer To get the highest bass effect, place a subwoofer. You can place your subwoofer anywhere in your room because the 6 7 placement affects very little the perceived sound. 8 1 TV or Screen 2 Front speaker Left 3 Subwoofer 4 Center speaker 5 Front speaker Right 6 Surround speaker Left 7 Surround speaker Right 8 Listening Position 10
