To adjust each speaker volume level for optimum listening experience.
(1) Press LEVEL button / or on the remote control to select FL (front Left speaker).
(2) Press or buttons to adjust the value up or down (between -10dB and +10dB).
(3) Repeat step (1) and (2) for the other speakers FR, CT, SW, SL, SR.
Speaker gains may be set to levels of up to +10dB, actual max levels may also depend on your Volume
Setting.
Note:
When connecting the speakers, make sure the polarities (“+”speaker wire to“+”on the receiver)
of speaker wires and terminals match. For example, red wire to red terminal on the receiver. If the
cords are reversed, the sound will be distorted. Do not let the speaker wires touch each other, it
will damage the system’s amplifier.

EN-9
Connections and Setup
Note:
Center speaker provided with this unit is
magnetically shielded to protect your TV
set. It is not recommended to place speak-
ers without magnetic shield near the TV
set.
1. Left, Right (Front Speakers)
Front speakers carry primarily music and sound ef-
fects.
2. Center
In surround mode, the center speaker carries most
of the dialog as well as music and effects.
It should be set between the left and right speak-
ers.
3. Surround (Rear Speakers)
The surround speakers’ overall sound balance
should be as close as possible to the front speakers.
Proper placement is vital to establish an evenly dis-
tributed sound field.
4. Subwoofer
A subwoofer is designed to reproduce powerful low
bass effects (explosions, the rumble of spaceships,
etc.).
Courtesy Dolby Laboratories
Front Speaker Placement
For best results, follow the speaker placement
below.
Alignment
Align the center speaker evenly with (A) or slightly
behind (B) (the left and right speakers), but not
ahead of them.
Angle
Place the left and right speakers to form a 45-degree
angle with your favorite viewing position to dupli-
cate the soundtrack mixer’s perspective.
Height
The three front speakers should be as close as pos-
sible to the same height. This often requires placing
the center speaker directly on top (A) or beneath (B)
the TV set.

Overview of Controls - Front Panel Controls
Better Surround Placement
Location
If possible, place surround speakers to either side of
the listening area, not behind it.
Height
If space permits, install surround speakers 2-3 feet above
viewers.This helps to minimize localization effects.
Aiming
Aim surround speakers straight across the room,
not down at viewers, to help create a more open,
spacious surround sound field.
Alternative Surround Placement
Rear wall
If rear wall mounting is the only choice, aim the
speakers at each other (A), towards the front (B) or
towards the sidewalls (C, D).
Experiment with placement until sounds seem to
surround you, rather than come from behind you.
No adjacent walls
Surround speakers can go on stands facing each
other to approximate sidewall mounting (A), or to
the sides or rear of the viewing area, aimed upwards;
they can go right on the floor, or preferably, a few
feet offthe floor such as on end tables (B).
Test Tone/Channel Balance
Channel Balance
Your receiver is equipped with a test signal generator
to help balance the audio level for each channel (see
Page 8 for details).
Level Adjustment and Surround Channel Level
Expectation
Even though you adjust the surround channel to be
as loud as the others on the test signal, you may find
that surround channels seems quieter for actual TV
and Movie content. This is because producers use
surround for subtle atmospherics and ambience,
and only rarely for special effects.
