1. Left, Right (Front Speakers)
Front speakers carry primarily music and sound
e ects.
2. Center
In surround mode, the center speaker carries most
of the dialog as well as music and e ects.
It should be set between the left and right
speakers.
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
distributed sound eld.

A subwoofer is designed to reproduce powerful
low bass e ects (explosions, the rumble of
spaceships, etc.).

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
duplicate the soundtrack mixer’s perspective.
Height
The three front speakers should be as close as
possible to the same height. This often requires
placing the center speaker directly on top (A) or
beneath (B) the TV set.
Note:
Center speaker provided with this unit
is magnetically shielded to protect your
TV set. It is not recommended to place
speakers without magnetic shield near the
TV set.

Connections and Setup
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 e ects.
Aiming
Aim surround speakers straight across the room,
not down at viewers, to help create a more open,
spacious surround sound eld.
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 oor, or
preferably, a few feet o the oor 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 Audio Setup under The Setup Menu
section for more details on how to access this
feature.
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 nd 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 e ects.

Compatible Formats
In order to ensure playback, discs must conform
with BD, DVD or CD standards. This unit may not
play some recordings or fi les due to differences in
recording formats, software used and disc types.
BD-ROM
BD-ROMs (Blu-ray Disc Read-Only Memory) are
commercially produced discs and are available
in the same capacities as BD below. Other than
conventional movie and video contents, these discs
have enhanced features such as interactive content,
menu operations using pop-up menus (see below),
selection of subtitle display, and slideshow. Although
a BD-ROM may contain any form of data, most BD
ROM discs will contain movies in High De nition
format, for playback on Blu-ray Disc players.
Blu-ray Disc (BD)
A disc format developed for recording/playing
high-de nition (HD) video (for HDTV, etc.), and for
storing large amounts of data. A single layer Bluray Disc holds up to 25 GB, and a dual-layer Blu-ray
Disc holds up to 50 GB of data.

single or dual layer. DVDs are high density optical
discs on which high quality picture and audio are
recorded by means of digital signals.
DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+RW
Most DVD-R and DVD+R (one recording
only), DVD-RW and DVD+RW discs
(rewritable), depending on the DVD
writer and discs used. Recordings using
DVD-R and DVD-RW discs must be made
in Video DVD mode. Recordings using
DVD+RW discs must be made in accordance with
the speci cations for DVD+RW discs with a 4.7 GB
capacity.
DVD+Rewritable
Audio CDs
Audio CDs (12 cm).
CD-R, CD-RW

before the disc is played (depending on the write
software).
However, depending on the condition of the
CD-writer, computer and the disc used, you may
nd that not all discs will play. When playing a
CD-R disc, it is normal for the unit to take up to

Additional Information
If the disc is not recognized after a period of 120
seconds, remove the disc, and insert it again.
• Do not use its full capacity.
• CD-Rs should be preferably used instead of
CD-RWs (rewritable CDs) as, in certain cases,
CD-RW playback may be faulty.
• Use reliable, good-quality CD write software.
• Close all other applications on the computer to
ensure reliable CD-R disc recording.
JPEG Files
