Connecting Your Speakers

You can use two sets of speakers with the TX-SR502/TX-SR502E: speaker set A and speaker set B.

Speaker set A

should be installed in your main listening room and can be used with Dolby Digital and DTS surround

material. Each speaker must be positioned at a speciﬁc location in your listening room to get the best from surround

sound material. The following illustration shows the best positions for your surround-sound speakers.

Speaker set B

can be installed in another room and used with stereo and mono material. Speakers can be positioned in

the standard position for stereo speakers or however you like.

Speaker Conﬁguration

For the best surround-sound experience, you should connect six speakers and a powered subwoofer.

No matter how many speakers you use, a powered subwoofer is recommended for a powerful and solid bass sound.

Before using the TX-SR502/TX-SR502E, you must specify which speakers are connected and their sizes (see page 32).

To get the very best from your surround-sound system, you should also specify the distance between the listener and

each individual speaker so that the sound from each speaker arrives at the listener’s ears at the same time (see page 48).

In addition, you should set the level of each individual speaker to achieve an equal balance (see page 49.)

Enjoying Home Theater

Front left and right speakers

These output the overall sound. Their role in a home theater is to provide a solid anchor

for the sound image. They should be positioned facing the listener at about ear level,

and equidistant from the TV. Angle them inward so as to create a triangle, with the

listener at the apex.

Center speaker

This speaker enhances the front left

and right speakers, making sound

movements distinct and providing a

full sound image. In movies it’s used

mainly for dialog.

Position it close to your TV (preferably

on top) facing forward at about ear

level, or at the same height as the

front left and right speakers.

Subwoofer

The subwoofer handles the bass sounds of

the LFE (Low-Frequency Effects) channel.

The volume and quality of the bass output

from your subwoofer will depend on its posi-

tion, the shape of your listening room, and

your listening position. In

general, a good bass sound

can be obtained by install-

ing the subwoofer in a front

corner, or at one-third the

width of the wall, as shown.

Surround back speaker

This speaker further enhances

the realism of surround sound

and improves sound localiza-

tion behind the listener. Posi-

tion it behind the listener about

2–3 feet (60–100 cm) above

ear level. Make sure that the

listening position is within the

range of the speaker.

Surround left and right speakers

These speakers are used for precise sound

positioning and to add realistic ambience.

Position them at the sides of the listener, or

slightly behind, about 2–3 feet (60–100 cm)

above ear level. Ideally they should be equi-

distant from the listener.
