Decide on the speaker system you want to set up according to the number of speakers and subwoofers that you are using. The illustration and table below indicate the types of speakers that can be connected to the receiver and the general positions for placing the speakers.
This manual describes the installation, connection, and setting procedures using the typical speaker systems indicated in the table below as examples.
Set up the speakers and subwoofers in a room using the layout you prefer for your speaker system and connect them to the receiver. The speaker layout drawings on page 16 and 17 provide the ideal layout examples. You do not have to set up the speakers and subwoofers in exactly the same way as the layout examples. Adjust the speaker layout to optimally suit your room environment.
To fully enjoy theater-like multi-channel surround sound, you need five speakers (two front speakers, a center speaker, and two surround speakers) and a subwoofer.
If you select [Front Surround] for the sound field setting, you can enjoy surround effects equivalent to that of a 5.1-channel speaker system using only the two front speakers. Place the speakers as shown below and change the direction of the front speakers little by little to find the direction that provides the best surround effect.
