SPEAKER POSITIONING
The installation positions of speakers differ according to the size, and acoustics of the listening room.
While actually listening to a program source, try various speaker positions to determine which layout
provides the best surround effect.
• Front speakers Place to the front left and right of the listening position. Front speakers are required
for all surround modes.
• Center speaker Place front and center. This speaker stabilizes the sound image and helps recreate
sound motion. Be sure to connect a center speaker when using the DOLBY 3 STEREO mode.
• Rear speakers Place to the direct left and right. These speakers recreate sound motion and
atmosphere. Required for surround playback. For best results, do not install the rear speakers too far
behind the listening position and install them above the level of the listener’s ears. It is also effective
to direct the rear speakers towards a wall or ceiling to further disperse the sound.
• Subwoofer Reproduces powerful deep bass sounds.

Speaker layout example when using
SURROUND MODE
• Refer to OSD speaker configuration. (page 22)
It is important to perform speaker configuration prior to using the decoder. This allows the unit to sense
the available speakers and automatically select decoding modes. It is possible to receive multi-channel
surround sound without a center speaker, but for best results with Dolby Pro Logic and Dolby Digital
decoding, at least 5 speakers (Left, Center, Right, Left Rear and Right Rear) should be used.
CENTER SPEAKER MODE
• LARGE: Use this mode with a large center speaker. The center channel’s output is full range.
• SMALL: Use this mode with a small center speaker. Bass frequencies below 90 Hz are output from the
speaker selected by LFE/Bass Out.
• NONE: Use this mode if there is no center speaker. The center channel signal will be divided between
the main L and R speakers.
REAR (SURROUND) SPEAKER MODE
• LARGE: The mode to choose if a large speaker is used or if a subwoofer is connected in parallel. The
rear channels full range is output as is.
• SMALL: The mode to choose if small speakers are used. Frequencies of 90Hz and below are output to
the speaker selected by LFE/Bass Out.
• NONE: Use this mode if there are no rear speakers.
FRONT SPEAKER MODE
• LARGE: The mode to choose if a large speaker are installed. Front channels full range is output as is.
• SMALL: The mode to choose compact speakers. Frequencies of 90Hz and below are output to the
speaker selected by LFE/Bass Out.

channel and other selected channels are output to the subwoofer.
