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.60) 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.

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
When placing the front and rear speakers on a flat surface, attach the included non-skid pads to the corners on the bottom of the speakers as shown below. This prevents the speakers from sliding around.

PREPARATION
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.

This section explains how to adjust speaker output levels using the test tone generator. When this adjustment is complete, the output level heard at the listening position should be the same from each speaker. This is important for best performance of the digital sound field processor, and the various decoders (Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Pro Logic II and DTS).
Note
• Since this unit cannot enter the test mode while headphones are connected to this unit, be sure to unplug the headphones from the
SILENT jack when using the test tone.

Using the test tone

Use the test tone to balance the output levels of the speakers.
Note
• The adjustment of each speaker output level should be made at your listening position using the remote control.

While adjusting, the test tone is heard from the selected speaker.
Note
• To adjust the level of the front speakers, use VOL +/– on the remote control.
5 When adjustment is complete, press TEST to
stop the test tone.
y
• It is not necessary to readjust the speaker levels once they are set (as long as you do not change the speakers). You can enjoy listening to or watching the input source at the desired volume simply by pressing VOL +/– on the remote control.
• If the output level of the effect speakers (center, rear left, and rear right) cannot be increased enough to match the level of the front speakers, set “1E F. Level” on SET MENU to –10 dB (see page 61). This setting decreases the front speaker output level to about one-third of the normal level. After you have set “1E F. Level” on the SET MENU to –10 dB, adjust the levels for the center and rear speakers again.
Notes
• If “1A CENTER” on the SET MENU is set to NON and the center speaker is not connected, the center channel sound is automatically output from the front left and right speakers.
• If “1C REAR LR” on the SET MENU is set to NON, the output level of the rear left and right speakers cannot be adjusted in step 4. The test tone will be circulated skipping the rear right and left speakers.
• If “1D BASS” on the SET MENU is set to FRONT, the test tone will be circulated skipping the subwoofer.
