SPEAKERS TO BE USED
This unit is designed to provide the best sound-field quality
with a 5 speaker configuration. The speakers to be used
with this unit will be mainly front speakers, rear speakers,
and a center speaker. (You can omit the center speaker.
Refer to the “4-Speaker Configuration” shown below.)
The front speakers are used for the output of the main
source sound and the effect sound. They will probably be
the speakers of your present stereo speaker system. The
rear speakers are used for the output of the effect sound.
And the center speaker is used for the output of the center
sound (dialog etc.) encoded with the Dolby Surround. The
rear and center speakers do not need to be equal in power
to the front speakers. However, all the speakers should
have high enough power handling to accept the maximum
output of this unit.
SPEAKER CONFIGURATION
5-Speaker Configuration
This configuration is the most effective and is the one that is
recommended. In this configuration, the center speaker is
necessary as well as the rear speakers. If the digital sound
field program is in DOLBY PRO LOGIC or ENHANCED
mode conversations will be output from the center speaker
and the ambience will be excellent.
÷ Set the center mode to the “NORMAL” or “WIDE” position.
(For details, refer to page 11.)
4-Speaker Configuration
The center speaker is not used in this configuration. If the
digital sound field program is in the DOLBY PRO LOGIC or
ENHANCED mode, the center sound is output from the left
and the right front speakers. However, the sound effect of
other programs can be the same as that of the 5-speaker
configuration.
÷ Be sure to set the center mode to the “PHANTOM”
position. (For details, refer to page 11.)

SPEAKER PLACEMENT
The recommanded speaker configuration, the 5-speaker

(your normal stereo speakers), and rear speakers, plus a
center speaker. When you place these speakers, refer to
the following.
Front L

Front: In normal position. (The position of your present
stereo speaker system.)
Rear: Behind your listening position, facing slightly
inward. Nearly six feet (approx. 1.8 m) up from the
floor.
Center: Precisely between the front speakers. (To avoid
interference with TV sets, use a magnetically
shielded speaker. If, however, it is not effective,
keep the speaker away from TV sets.)
