Recommended speaker placement
9 or 7 channel speaker system
• The angle A shown in the illustration
should be the same.
• If you cannot place the speakers at the
optimum angle, separate the surround speakers and the surround back speakers adequately and arrange them as symmetrically as possible.
• You can calibrate speaker positioning using
“Speaker Relocation” even if you cannot place the speakers at the optimum angle (page 103). Arrange the surround back speakers spread further back than 90 degrees to operate “Speaker Relocation” effectively.
• Install the front high speakers at the same
angle as that of the front speakers. The position should be at a height on or above an extended diagonal line across the screen of a TV or monitor.
6 channel speaker system
• Place the surround back speaker behind the seating position.
Tip
Since the subwoofer does not emit highly directional signals, you can place it wherever you want.
