SPEAKERS
The configuration and arrangement of a surround sound system's speakers is critical.
For maximum listening enjoyment, refer to the
Arrangement of Speakers section in this manual prior to connecting speakers.
Surround Sound Speakers
Front or main right and left speakers; center speaker
These three speakers provide extensive sound imaging and augment the dynamic effect of the audio. A movie's principal dialogue comes through these speakers.
Rear or surround sound speakers
These two speakers provide 3-D dynamic sound effects, and create an enveloping atmosphere, as they add background sounds.
.
Subwoofer speaker
Provides rich and powerful bass, adding a powerful dimension of realism.
Note : Audio recorded for the center speaker and subwoofer will be assigned to the front and 3-D rear speakers to obtain the optimum 3-D surround sound effect.
ARRANGEMENT
OF SPEAKERS
The ideal surround sound speaker configuration may vary according to room size and wall material. The figure below illustrates a typical arrangement.
Hints:
Front or main speakers and central speaker
should be placed at the same level and in a way that sound is oriented toward the listener's ears.
3D surround sound or rear speakers should be placed 3' higher than the height of listener's
ears.
Subwoofer speaker may be placed anywhere within the room, as its location produces little effect on a listener's sensation to sound. To obtain the optimum bass effect, a subwoofer is recommended in home theater systems.

CONNECTING
SPEAKERS
This well-designed DVD receiver provides optimum sound quality when the speakers used are within the range of their rated impedance.
Important
The minimum impedance of the five speaker
terminals is 6 ohm; for the subwoofer, it is
8 ohm.
If you want to use only one speaker or listen
to monophonic music, do not parallel connect
individual speakers to the left and right
channel terminals. See the figure on the left
below.
Connecting Speaker Cables
1.Peel off approximately 1/ 2 " of cable
insulation
2.Tighten the wire end (#2 below)
3.Open cable terminal by pressing back on
tab
4.Insert wire end into terminal
5.Release tab; make sure wire is in terminal
securely
Note: To prevent damage to the circuit, care should be taken to prevent short circuiting from occurring at the positive and negative poles of the speaker cord.
