Speaker installation
Determine the speaker system depending on the number of speakers you are using and install each speaker and subwoofer in the room.
Speaker installation is explained using this example of a typical installation.
FL/FR (Front |
Place the FRONT left and right speakers an equal distance from the main listening position. The distance between each speaker and your TV should also be the same. |
C (Center |
Place the CENTER speaker in between the front speakers and above or below your TV. |
SL/SR (Surround |
Place the SURROUND left and right speakers an equal distance to the left and right sides of the main listening position. If you don’t have surround back speakers, move the surround speakers slightly behind your listening position. |
SBL/SBR(Surround back speaker left/right): |
Place the SURROUND BACK left and right speakers an equal distance from the main listening position and directly behind the main listening position. When using a single surround back speaker (SB), place it directly behind the listening position. |
FHL/FHR (Front |
Place the FRONT HEIGHT left and right speakers just outside of the front left and right speakers. Mount them as close to the ceiling as possible and aim them towards the listening position. |
FWL/FWR (Front wide speakers left/right): |
Place the FRONT WIDE left and right speakers outside of the front left and right speakers so that there is an equal distance between all front speakers. |
SW 1/2 (Subwoofer) : |
Place the SUBWOOFER at a convenient location near the front speakers. If you have two subwoofers, place them asymmetrically across the front of your room. |
This unit is compatible with Audyssey DSX®link, Dolby Pro Logic z link and DTS Neo:X link which offers an even wider and deeper surround sensation.
When using Audyssey DSX®, install front wide speakers or front height speakers.
When using Dolby Pro Logic z, install front height speakers.
Use the illustration below as a guide for how high each speaker should be installed. The height does not need to be exactly the same.
