Positioning speakers 3 1 2 1 3 4 Courtesy Dolby Laboratories 1. Left, Right (Front Speakers) Front speakers carry primarily music and sound effects. 2. Center In surround mode, the center speaker carries most of the dialog as well as music and effects. It should be set between the left and right peakers. 3. Surround (Rear Speakers) The surround speakers' overall sound balance should be as close as possible to the front peakers. Proper placement is vital to establish an evenly distributed sound field. 4. Subwoofer A subwoofer is designed to reproduce powerful low bass effects (explosions, the rumble of spaceships, etc.). - 7 - Connections and Setup Front speaker placement For best results, follow the speaker placement below. Alignment Align the center speaker evenly with (A) or slightly behind (B) (the left and right speakers), but not ahead of them. Aiming Aim surround speakers straight across the room, not down at viewers, to help create a more open, spacious surround sound field. Angle Place the left and right speakers to form a 45degree angle with your favorite viewing position to duplicate the soundtrack mixer's perspective. Height The three front speakers should be as close as possible to the same height. This often requires placing the center speaker directly on top (A) or beneath (B) the TV set. Alternative Surround Placement Rear wall If rear wall mounting is the only choice, aim the speakers at each other (A), towards the front (B) or towards the sidewalls (C, D). Experiment with placement until sounds seem to surround you, rather than come from behind you. 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). A B Better surround placement Location If possible, place surround speakers to either side of the listening area, not behind it. Height If space permits, install surround speakers 2-3 feet above viewers. This helps to minimize localization effects. 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. 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 adjust the surround level; program producers use surround for subtle atmospherics and ambience, and only rarely for special effects. - 8 - Overview of Controls Overview of Controls Playing Discs - Basic Functions Basic Playback Operations ON•OFF: Turns on/off the unit.
