SPEAKER SETUP
Speaker placement
The speaker layout below shows the standard ITTI-R*
speaker setting. You can use it to enjoy CINEMA DSP
and multi-channel audio sources.
* ITU-R IS the radio communication sector of the ITU
(International Telecoimuuiication Union).
Surround speakers (SR and SL)
The surround speakers are used for effect and surround
sounds. Place these speakers behind your listening
position, facing slightly inwards, about 1.8 m (6 ft) above
the floor.
Subwoofer
The use of a subwoofer, such as the YAMAHA Active
Serv'o Processing Subwoofer System, is effective not only
for reinforcing bass freciuencies from any or all channels,
but also for high fidelity reproduction of the LEE (low-
frequency effect) channel included in Dolby Digital and
DTS software. The position of the subwoofer is not so
critical, because lotv bass sounds are not highly
directional. But it is better to place the subwoofer near the
front speakers. Turn it slightly tow'ard the center of the
room to reduce wall reflections.
Front speakers (FR and FL)
The front speakers are used for the main source sound plus
effect sounds. Place these speakers an equal distance from
the ideal listening position. The distance of each speaker
from each side of the video monitor should be the same.
Center speaker (C)
The center speaker is for the center channel sounds
(dialog, vocals, etc.). If for some reason it is not practical
to use a center speaker, you can do without it. Best results,
however, are obtained wnth the full system. Align the front
face of the center speaker with the front face of your video
monitor. Place the speaker centrally betw'een the front
speakers and as close to the monitor as possible, such as
directly over or under it.
