Connections and Setup No adjacent walls Surround speakers can go on stands facing each other to approximate sidewall mounting (A), or to the sides or rear of the viewing area, aimed upwards; they can go right on the floor, or preferably, a few feet off the floor such as on end tables (B). Test tone/Channel balance Channel balance Your receiver is equipped with a test signal generator for balancing the channels. As the signal "travels" from channel to channel, adjust the level controls until each channel plays at the same loudness level (see page 21). Level adjustment and surround channel level expectation Even though you adjust the surround channel to be as loud as the others on the test signal, on actual program material the surround channel is usually much lower than the front. Don't re-adjust the surround level; program producers use surround for subtle atmospherics and ambience, and only rarely for special effects. RTD205 7 7 2/28/05, 10:35 AM
