Placing speakers
Arrange the speakers around the center of the
room based on the angles shown in the
illustration as follows. If you are unable to
position the speakers according to the angles
shown, place one set of surround speakers
slightly forward of the listening position
(toward the front speakers).
Adjusting the position of these speakers
improves the connection between the front and
surround sound stage.
Although the center of the room is used as an
axis for determining speaker placement, you
can enjoy excellent sound from anywhere in
the room behind the central point.
When using the CINEMA
STUDIO EX modes with a 9.1
channel system
Be sure to set Virtual Speaker to OFF in SURR
SET UP (page 99). You can enjoy the surround
effects of movies even without the use of
virtual speakers since so many real speakers
are used.
In addition, unlike virtual speakers, the
expressive capability of real speakers will vary
depending on the speaker. Adjust the effect
level so that the actor’s lines sound natural and
the impact of sound effects is nicely balanced.
To listen to the pure audio of a
Super Audio CD
Please note that in most cases you can use the
9.1 channel setting for a Super Audio CD and
other pure audio sources without any
adjustments. However, depending on the type
of speakers you have, and the way the music
software was recorded, you may want to
switch to 7.1 channel or 5.1 channel playback.
