Speaker placement

e P777 allows connection of up to seven

loudspeakers. All speakers, with the exception of the

subwoofer, should be arranged around your normal

viewing/listening position (see diagram). e subwoofer

can be placed almost anywhere and we recommend

experimenting with it in various positions to obtain the

best result.

e closer you place a speaker to intersecting room

surfaces (corners, wall and ceiling, wall and oor),

the stronger the bass output. is can help bass-shy

speakers, but it can also add too much bass. Again, just

moving a speaker a few inches can oen make a big

dierence in sound.

Position your front le (L) and right (R) speakers

to achieve a good stereo image for normal musical

reproduction. If they are placed too close together there

will be a lack of spaciousness. Alternatively if they are

placed too far apart the stereo image will appear to have

a hole in the middle and will be presented in two

halves.

e centre speaker (C) allows for a more

realistic reproduction of dialogue and

centre sounds as well as wider and

better imaging for stereo eects

and background sounds for

home cinema use. Do not

compromise on the quality

of your centre speaker as it

carries all the dialogue for a

home cinema system.

Notes on making speaker

connections

< Do not make any connections to any amplier

while it is switched on. We recommend that

your amplier is completely disconnected

from the mains supply before starting.

< Before switching your amplier on for the

rst time aer connecting to speakers, please

check all connections thoroughly. Ensure

that bare wires or cables are not touching

each other or the amplier’s chassis (which

could cause short circuits), and that you

have connected positive (+) to positive and

negative (–) to negative. Be sure to check the

wiring for both the amplier and the speaker.

< Aer making connections: switch the

amplier on, with the pre-amplier volume

set to a low setting. Select a source signal, then

gradually increase the volume to the required

listening level.

< If you are unsure as to how your system

should be connected, or need advice on

bi-wiring or bi-amping, please contact your

Arcam dealer who will be happy to help you.

Speaker wiring options

Single wiring

Single wiring is the conventional wiring method of

running a single cable per channel between the amplier

and the speaker; this is the easiest technique.

Bi-wiring

Bi-wiring is running two separate cables between the

amplier and each speaker, with one cable carrying

the low-frequency information, the other the higher-

frequency signals.

Bi-wiring can improve the sound of your system because

the separation of high- and low-frequency signal

currents into dierent speaker cables avoids distortions

caused by the dierent currents interacting with one-

another within a single cable, as occurs in single-wired

systems.

e P777 is designed to allow easy bi-wiring, but you

will need to connect to loudspeakers that provide

separate terminals for the two cables. Each speaker

must have two pairs of terminals; one pair labelled

or ‘High Frequency’, the other pair labelled LF or ‘Low

Frequency’.

Bi-amping

Bi-amping is the separation of the amplication of

low- and high-frequency signals over two ampliers.

Bi-amping requires the use of two ampliers per

channel.

e surround le (SL) and right (SR) speakers

reproduce the ambient sound and eects present in a

multichannel home cinema system.

e surround back le (SBL) and surround back right

(SBR) speakers are used to add extra depth, a more

spacious ambience and sound localisation.

A subwoofer (SW) will greatly improve the bass

performance from your system. is is useful for

reproducing special cinema eects, especially where

a dedicated LFE (Low-Frequency Eects) channel is

available, as with Dolby Digital or DTS Digital Surround

encoded discs.
