SPEAKER SETUP

This unit has been designed to provide the best sound­field quality with a 5-speaker system, using front left and right speakers, rear left and right speakers and a center speaker.
The front speakers are used for the main source sound plus effect sounds. The rear speakers are used for effect and surround sounds. The center speaker is for the center sounds (dialog, vocals, etc.).
Notes
If you do not use any of effect speakers (rear and/or center), change the settings of SPEAKER SET items at the SET MENU (p.62) to designate the signals to other terminals you connect speakers to.
If you use speakers (with different tonal qualities) instead of the included speakers, the tone of a moving human voice and other types of sound may not shift smoothly. We recommend that you use speakers from the same manufacturer or speakers with the same tonal quality.
Speaker placement
Refer to the following diagram when you place the speakers.
Center speaker Front speaker (R)
Rear speaker (R)
1.8 m (6 feet)
Front speaker (L)
Subwoofer
Front speakers
Place the front left and right speakers an equal distance from the ideal listening position. The distance between each speaker and each side of the video monitor should also be the same.
Center speaker
Align the front face of the center speaker with the front face of your video monitor. Place the speaker as close to the monitor as possible (such as directly over or under the monitor) and centrally between the front speakers.
Rear speakers
Place these speakers behind your listening position, facing slightly inwards, nearly 1.8 m (6 feet) above the floor.
Subwoofer
The position of the subwoofer is not so critical, because low bass sounds are not highly directional. But it is better to place the subwoofer near the front speakers. Turn it slightly toward the center of the room to reduce wall reflections.
Note
Although the speaker system in this unit is magnetically shielded, it may still affect the color on the television monitor when using this unit near the television. Adjust the relative positions of this unit and the television if this happens.
Rear speaker (L)
PREPARATION

English
SPEAKER SETUP
Installing the speakers
Placing the center speaker
Place the speaker on TV whose top is flat or on the floor under the TV or inside the TV rack so that it is stabilized. When placing the speaker on top of the TV, to prevent the speaker from falling down, put the provided fasteners at four points on the bottom of the speaker and the top of the TV.
Fastener
Peel off the seal
Mounting the front and rear speakers
When mounting the front and rear speakers on a wall, use the holes on the speakers’ back panels.
1 Put the provided pads at the four corners on
the rear of the front and rear speakers to prevent the front and rear speakers from moving by vibrations.
2 Fasten screws into a firm wall or wall
support as shown below.
Cautions
Do not place the speaker on top of the TV whose area is smaller than the bottom area of the speaker. If placed, the speaker may drop out causing an injury to you.
Do not place the speaker on top of the TV with an inclination.
Do not touch the adhesive surface after peeling off the seal as
this will weaken its adhesive strength.
Thoroughly wipe clean the surface where the fastener is to be applied. Note that adhesive strength is weakened if the surface is dirty, oily or wet and that this may cause the center speaker to drop.
Placing the front and rear
speakers

Cautions
Each speaker weighs 1.1 kg (2 lbs. 6 oz.). Do not mount them on thin plywood or a wall with soft surface material. If mounted, the screws may come out of the flimsy surface and the speakers may fall. This damages the speakers or causes personal injury.
Do not install the speakers to a wall with nails, adhesives, or any other unstable hardware. Long-term use and vibrations may cause them to fall.
To avoid accidents resulting from tripping over loose speaker cables, fix them to the wall.
Select a proper position on the wall to mount the speaker so that no one will injure his/her head or face.

Features
This program adds a deep and spatial feeling to video game sounds.
This program produces an enthusiastic atmosphere and lets you feel as if you are at an actual jazz or rock concert.
With this program, you can enjoy watching various TV programs such as news, variety shows, music programs or sports programs. In a stereo broadcast of a sports game, the commentator is oriented at the center position, and the shouts and the atmosphere in the stadium spread on the surround side, while their spread to the rear is properly restrained.
This program is provided for reproducing monaural video sources (such as old movies). The program produces the optimum reverberation to create sound depth by using only the presence sound field.
This program creates the extremely wide sound field of a 70-mm movie theater. It precisely reproduces the source sound in detail, making both the video and the sound field incredibly real. This is ideal for any kind of video source encoded with Dolby Surround, Dolby Digital or DTS (especially large-scale movie productions).
This program clearly reproduces dialog and sound effects in the latest sound form of science fiction films, thus creating a broad and expansive cinematic space amid the silence. You can enjoy science fiction films in a virtual-space sound field that includes Dolby Surround, Dolby Digital and DTS-encoded software employing the most advanced techniques.
This program is ideal for precisely reproducing the sound design of the newest 70-mm and multichannel soundtrack films. The sound field is made to be similar to that of the newest movie theaters, so the reverberations of the sound field itself are restrained as much as possible.
This program is for reproducing sounds from 70-mm and multichannel soundtrack films, and is characterized by a soft and extensive sound field. The presence sound field is relatively narrow. It spatially spreads all around and toward the screen, restraining the echo effect of conversations without losing clarity.
This program ideally simulates the multi-surround speaker systems of the 35-mm film theaters. Dolby Pro Logic and Dolby Pro Logic II decoding, Dolby Digital decoding or DTS decoding and digital sound field processing create precise effects without altering the original sound orientation. The surround effects produced by this sound field wrap around the viewer naturally from the back to the left and right, and toward the screen.
The built-in decoder precisely reproduces sounds and sound effects from sources. The highly efficient decoding process improves crosstalk and channel separation and makes sound positioning smoother and more precise. In this program, no DSP effect is applied.
y
When you set this unit in the standby mode, the current source and DSP program are memorized and are automatically selected when you turn on the power again.
When you select an input source, this unit automatically selects the last DSP program used with that source.
The indicator does not light up when selecting program No. 9 except in Enhanced mode.
Notes
There are 9 programs with sub-programs available with this unit. However, the selection depends on the input signal format and not all sub-programs can be used with all input signal formats.
The acoustics of your listening room affect the DSP program. Minimize the sound reflections in your room to maximize the effect created by the program.
When a monaural source is being played with PRO LOGIC/Normal or PRO LOGIC/Enhanced, or PRO LOGIC II Movie, no sound will be heard from the front speakers and the rear speakers. Sound can only be heard from the center speaker. (If “1A CENTER” on the SET MENU is set to NON, the center channel sound is output from the front speakers.)
