The configuration and arrangement of a
surround sound system's speakers is critical.
For maximum listening enjoyment, refer to the
Arrangement of Speakerssection in thismanual
prior to connectingspeakers.
Surround Sound Speakers
Front or mainright and leftspeakers;
center speaker
These three speakers provide extensive
sound imaging andaugment the dynamic effect
of the audio.A movie's principaldialogue comes
through these speakers.
Rear or surroundsound speakers
These two speakers provide 3-D dynamic
sound effects, and create an enveloping
atmosphere, as theyadd background sounds.
.
Subwoofer speaker
Provides rich and powerful bass, adding a
powerful dimension ofrealism.
Note: Audio recordedfor the centerspeaker and
subwoofer will beassigned to thefront and 3-D
rear speakers to obtain the optimum 3-D
surround sound effect.
The ideal surroundsound speaker configur-
ation may varyaccording to roomsize and wall
material. The figurebelow illustrates a typical
arrangement.
Hints:
Front or mainspeakers and central speaker
should be placedat the samelevel and ina way
that sound isoriented toward thelistener's ears.
3D surround soundor rear speakers should
be placed 3' higher than the height of listener's
ears.
Subwoofer speaker maybe placed anywhere
within the room, as its location produces little
effect on a listener's sensation to sound. To
obtain the optimumbass effect, a subwoofer is
recommended in hometheater systems.
