[. . . ] Introduction UNPACKING ENGLISH Congratulations on Your Purchase! Your new high fidelity receiver is designed to deliver maximum enjoyment and years of trouble free service. Please take a few moments to read this manual thoroughly. It will explain the features and operation of your unit and help ensure a trouble free installation. We recommend that you save the carton and packing material. [. . . ] The typical example of speaker placement and recommendations are as follows : 2 3 1 4 5 ENGLISH Front left and right speakers and center speaker Place the front speakers with their front surfaces as flush with TV or monitor screen as possible. Place the center speaker between the front left and right speakers and no further from the listening position than the front speakers. Place each speaker so that sound is aimed at the location of the listener's ears when at the main listening position. 6 9 7 Surround left and right speakers Place the surround speakers approximately 1 meter (40 inches) above the ear level of a seated listener on the direct left and right of them or slightly behind. Surround back speaker Place the surround back speaker at the rear center facing the front at a slightly higher position (0 to 10 inches) than the surround speakers. We recommend installing the surround back speaker at a slightly downward facing angle. This effectively prevents the surround back channel signals from reflecting off the TV or screen at the front center, resulting in interference and making the sense of movement from the front to the back less sharp. 1. Listening position Subwoofer The subwoofer reproduces powerful deep bass sounds. Place a powered subwoofer anywhere in the front as desired. Surround speaker Notes : When using a conventional TV , to avoid interference with the TV picture, use only magnetically shielded front left and right and center speakers. To obtain the best surround effects, the speakers except the subwoofer should be full range speakers. Surround back speaker Point slightly downward Front speaker 60 to 90 cm 16 Adjusting the speaker settings · After you have installed this unit and connected all the components, you should adjust the speaker settings for the optimum sound acoustics according to your environment and speaker layout. · There are two kinds of speaker settings for speaker size and speaker distance. Speaker size settings Select the corresponding settings depending on the sizes of the connected speakers and whether the speakers are connected or not. Depending on your speaker type, you can select one of these following settings. Large : Select this when connecting speakers that can fully reproduce sounds below 80 Hz. Small : Select this when connecting speakers that cannot fully reproduce sounds below 80 Hz. When this is selected, sounds below 80 Hz are sent to the subwoofer or the front speakers depending on whether the subwoofer setting is Yes or No. None : Select this when no speakers are connected. When this is selected, sounds are sent to the front speakers. Yes / No : Select the desired depending on whether a subwoofer is connected or not. Depending or relationship between speakers, settings possible for each speaker are as follows: Front L/R Center Surr.

By entering the distance differences between front and center speakers(Cd) and front and surround speakers(Sd), the delay times of center and surround speakers are automatically adjusted to create an ideal listening environment virtually as if the center and surround speakers were at their ideal locations respectively as follows: Ideal location of a center speaker Cd FL SW C Dc Df Ds SL SB SR Sd Ideal location of a surround speaker FR All speakers should be located within a circle with a radius of Df Cd = Df - Dc Sd = Df - Ds Cd : Center distance difference Sd : Surround distance difference Df : Front speaker distance Dc : Center speaker distance Ds : Surround speaker distance 17 ENGLISH Refer to the previous page and adjust the speaker settings Note : When the SPEAKER button is set to off or the 7 CH DIRECT is selected as an input source, the speaker setting function cannot be available.
