Connecting the AV receiver
Thanks to the AV receiver’s superb capabilities, you can enjoy surround sound with a real sense of movement in your
own home—just like being in a movie theater or concert hall. You can enjoy DVDs featuring Dolby Digital or DTS.
With analog or digital TV, you can enjoy Dolby Pro Logic IIx, DTS Neo:6, or Onkyo’s original DSP listening modes.
Enjoying Home Theater
Corner

position
Surround back left and right speakers (SKB-570)
These speakers are necessary to enjoy Dolby Digital
EX, DTS-ES Matrix, DTS-ES Discrete, etc. They
enhance the realism of surround sound and improve
sound localization behind the listener. Position them
behind the listener about 2–3 feet (60–100 cm) above
ear level.
Center speaker (SKC-570)
This speaker enhances the front left
and right speakers, making sound
movements distinct and providing a
full sound image. For movies it’s used
mainly for dialog.
Position it close to your TV (preferably
on top) facing forward at about ear
level, or at the same height as the
front left and right speakers.
Front left and right speakers (SKF-570)
These output the main sound. Their role in a home theater is to provide a solid
anchor for the sound image. They should be positioned facing the listener at
about ear level, and equally spaced from the TV. Angle them inward slightly so
as to create a triangle, with the listener at the apex. Surround left and right speakers
(SKR-570)
These speakers are used for precise
sound positioning and to add realistic
ambience.
Position them at the sides of the
listener, or slightly behind, about
2–3 feet (60–100 cm) above ear level.
Ideally they should be equally spaced
from the listener.
Subwoofer (SKW-570)
The subwoofer handles the bass sounds of the
LFE (Low-Frequency Effects) channel. The
volume and quality of the bass output from
your subwoofer will depend on its position, the
shape of your listening room, and your
listening position. In general, a good bass
sound can be obtained by installing the
subwoofer in a front corner, or at one-third the
way along the front wall, as shown.
Tip: To find the best position for your
subwoofer, while playing a movie or some
music with good bass, experiment by placing
your subwoofer at various positions within the
room and choose the one that provides the
most satisfying results.
