Speaker system layout
2 Basic system layout
The following is an example of the basic layout for a system consisting of eight speaker systems
and a television monitor:
Subwoofer Center speaker system
Surround speaker systems
Surround back speaker systems
Front speaker systems
Set these at the sides of the TV
or screen with their front surfaces
as flush with the front of the
screen as possible.
With the AVR-4306 it is also possible to use the surround speaker selector function to choose the
best layout for a variety of sources and surround modes.
2 Surround speaker selector function
This function makes it possible to achieve the optimum sound fields for different sources by
switching between two systems of surround speakers (A and B). The settings of the different
speakers (A only, B only or A+B) are stored in the memory for the different surround modes, so
they are set automatically when the surround mode is selected.

• This section contains the basic steps necessary to configure the AVR-4306 according to your
listening room environment and the source equipment and loudspeakers you are using.
• For optimum performance, we recommend using the Auto Setup function.
• If you wish, you can set the various settings manually without using Auto Setup (
