speakers.

subwoofer within the listening room.

slightly behind and at an angle to the listening position and parallel to the
walls at a position 60 to 90 centimeters (2 to 3 feet) above ear level at the
prime listening position.

• Connect the surround speakers to the surround speaker A jacks on the

AVR-3802 and set all settings on the setup menu to “A”. (This is the factory
default setting. For details, see page 16.)
