Connections

This section involves various methods of connecting the AV receiver to other external components. Before moving or installing the product, be sure to turn off the power and disconnect the power cord.

SPEAKER POSITIONING

There are two methods for positioning the speakers. When using Dolby Pro Logic IIz, place the Surround Back Speakers in the FHL, FHR position and connect them to SURROUND BACK/ FRONT HEIGHT Jack.

FHL FHR

6.6~9.8 feet (2~3m)

Position of AV Receiver

Place the AV Receiver on a dedicated stand or rack.

Subwoofer

The position of the subwoofer is not so critical. Place it anywhere you like.

Front Speakers

Place these speakers in front of your listening position, facing inwards (about 45°) toward you.

Place the speakers so that their tweeters will be at the same height as your ears.

Align the front face of the front speakers with the front face of the center speaker or place them slightly in front of the center speaker.

Center speaker

It is best to install it at the same height as the front speakers.

You can also install it directly over or under the TV.

Surround Speakers

Place these speakers behind your listening position.

If there isn't enough room, place these speakers so they face each other.

Place them about 2 to 3 feet (60 to 90cm) above your ears, facing slightly downward.

Unlike the front and center speakers, the surround speakers are used to handle mainly sound effects and sound will not come from them all the time.

ENG

● CONNECTIONS

Surround Back Speakers

If you are using two rear center speakers, place them behind the listening position.

Place the surround back speaker about 2.3-3.3 feet (70 cm to 1 m).

Front Height Speakers

When using Dolby Pro Logic IIz, place the Surround Back Speakers on the FHL, FHR position above the front L and front R speakers at least 3.3 feet(1 m) above each one.

When you attach the speakers to the wall, make sure to fasten them tightly so they do not fall off.
