Sunfire CRM-2BIP - Manual (Page 6)

User's Manual
6
Consult the owner's manuals to find
the best location for your left, right, cen-
ter loudspeakers and the subwoofer. The
CRM-BIP dipole loudspeakers are used
as surround and surround-back loud-
speakers in the following configurations.
Remember to keep the loudspeak-
ers away from any TV display,
computer, VCR or magnetic tapes
and discs. This will reduce the
chance of the magnetic fields upsetting
the TV screen or erasing your magnetic
media.
5.1 Configuration
Place each surround loudspeaker an
equal distance away from your central
listening position, and keep them at least
one or two feet above ear level (with you
sitting down).
They can be placed on the side walls
at either side of the listening position as
shown below, or behind on the rear walls.
The CRM-BIP ribbons will create
desired reflections from the side and rear
walls. This broadens the soundstage so
that you cannot distinguish the sound as
coming from the loudspeakers, but rather
from a larger area behind you.
6.1 and 7.1 Configuration
Sunfire home theater processors and
receivers have two extra outputs for sur-
round back loudspeakers. These create
a wonderful sense of realism in surround
effects during playback of Dolby Digital
EX, Dolby Pro Logic IIx, and DTS-ES.
Such systems can be configured for
one or two surround back loudspeakers.
If you are connecting one surround
back loudspeaker, place it directly behind
your listening position, with the surround
loudspeakers to the side as shown below.
With two surround back loudspeak-
ers, set the surround back loudspeak-
ers behind and between the surround
loudspeakers.
