Connections Placing speakers This unit supports up to 7.1-channel surround. We recommended the following speaker layout in order to obtain the optimum surround effect. 7.1-channel speaker layout Speaker channels FL SW C 30˚ FR SW ■ Front left and right speakers (FL and FR) The front speakers are used for the front channel sounds (stereo sound) and effect sounds. Place these speakers at an equal distance from the ideal listening position. When using a screen, the appropriate top positions of the speakers are about 1/4 of the screen from the bottom. SL 60˚ SL 80˚ SBL SR SR SBR 30 cm (12 in) or more ■ Center speaker (C) The center speaker is for the center channel sounds (dialog, vocals, etc.). Place it halfway between the left and right speakers. When using a TV, place the speaker just above or just under the center of the TV with the front surfaces of the TV and the speaker aligned. When using a screen, place it just under the center of the screen. 6.1-channel speaker layout C FL FR SW SW 30˚ ■ Surround left and right speakers (SL and SR) The surround speakers are used for effect and surround sounds. Place them at the rear left and rear right facing the listening position. To obtain a natural sound flow in the 5.1-channel speaker layout, place them slightly further back than in the 7.1channel speaker layout. SL SR 60˚ SL 80˚ SR SB 5.1-channel speaker layout C FL FR SW SW 30˚ ■ Surround back left and right speakers (SBL and SBR) / Surround back speaker (SB) The surround back left and right speakers are used for rear effect sounds. When using the surround back speakers, connect an external amplifier to the SURROUND BACK jacks of the PRE OUT terminals. Place them at the rear of the room facing the listening position at least 30 cm away from each other, ideally at the same distance as that between the front left and right speakers. In the 6.1-channel speaker layout, surround back left and right channel sound signals are mixed down and output from the single surround back speaker. In the 5.1-channel speaker layout, surround back left and right channel sound signals are output from the surround left and right speakers. SL SR 60˚ SL 80˚ SR ■ Subwoofer (SW) The subwoofer speaker is used for bass sounds and lowfrequency effect (LFE) sounds included in Dolby Digital and DTS signals. Use a subwoofer with a built-in amplifier, such as the Yamaha Active Servo Processing Subwoofer System. Place it exterior to the front left and right speakers facing slightly inward to reduce reflections from a wall. 10 En
