POSITIONING AND CONNECT-

ING THE SPEAKERS

The ideal number of channels in a system for reproducing surround

sound with this unit is 8, namely, the front left and front right, center,

left surround and right surround, back left and back right surround,

and subwoofer.

The number of speakers minimally required in a system for surround

sound reproduction is 4, namely, the front left and right speakers and

the left and right surround speakers. However, 6.1-channel surround

sound cannot be reproduced with this kind of setup.

With this unit, the system is set to match the number and positions of

the speakers and the output characteristics of their bass range.

POSITIONING THE SPEAKERS

The speakers are placed in different positions depending on the size

of the room and other factors present. The basic layout of the

speakers and some layout tips are given below.

Layout tips

Front left and right speakers

It is recommended that these speakers be positioned at an angle of

45 to 60 toward the rear as seen from the listening position.

Center speaker

This is placed with its front aligned with the front left and right

speakers or slightly offset to the rear.

Left and right surround speakers

These are placed somewhere between the sides of the listening

position and the front. They are not placed behind the listening

position.

Back left and right surround speakers

These are positioned behind the listening position. Place them at the

angles shown in the figure.

Subwoofer

Use of a subwoofer is recommended in order to maximize the bass

effect. The subwoofer handles only the bass range so it can be

placed anywhere in the room.

HEIGHT

Front speakers (left, right and center)

The midrange and high-range speaker units of the three front

speakers should be arranged at the same height as far as this is

possible.

This means placing the center speaker either directly on top of the TV

set or directly underneath it.

A layout like this necessitates the use of the kind of center speaker

which is protected from magnetic fields.

Surround speakers

These should be positioned about 70 cm to a meter above the listener

as space allows. This will ensure that the sound field will not be

conspicuously localized but perceived as pervading the whole room.
