Some tips for improving sound quality
Important
• Speakers such as S-HV500-LR and S-HV600B may have
specific installation methods. For more details, refer to
the operating instructions supplied with speaker.
Where you put your speakers in the room has a big effect on
the quality of the sound. The following guidelines should help
you to get the best sound from your system.
It is best to angle the speakers towards the listening
position. The angle depends on the size of the room. Use
less of an angle for bigger rooms.
Refer to the chart below for placement of speakers you
intend to connect.
-
Place the surround speakers at 120º from the center. If
you, (1) use the surround back speaker, and, (2) don’t
use the front height speakers, we recommend placing
the surround speaker right beside you.
-
If you intend to connect only one surround back
speakers, place it directly behind you.
-
If the surround speakers cannot be set directly to the
side of the listening position with a 7.1-channel system,
the surround effect can be enhanced by turning off the
Up Mix function (see Setting the Up Mix function on
page 33).
For the best stereo effect, place the front speakers 2 m to
3 m apart, at equal distance from the TV.
If you’re using a center speaker, place the front speakers
at a wider angle. If not, place them at a narrower angle.
Place the center speaker above or below the TV so that the
sound of the center channel is localized at the TV screen.
Also, make sure the center speaker does not cross the
line formed by the leading edge of the front left and right
speakers.
Surround and surround back speakers should be
positioned 60 cm to 90 cm higher than your ears and
titled slight downward. Make sure the speakers don’t face
each other. For DVD-Audio, the speakers should be more
directly behind the listener than for home theater
playback.
Try not to place the surround speakers farther away from
the listening position than the front and center speakers.
Doing so can weaken the surround sound effect.
Place the left and right front height speakers at least one
meter directly above the left and right front speakers.
If you’re going to place speakers around your CRT TV, use
shielded speakers or place the speakers at a sufficient
distance from your CRT TV.
• The subwoofer can be placed on the floor. Ideally, the
other speakers should be at about ear-level when you’re
listening to them. Putting the speakers on the floor
(except the subwoofer), or mounting them very high on a
wall is not recommended.
• When not connecting a subwoofer, connect speakers
with low frequency reproduction capabilities to the front
channel. (The subwoofer’s low frequency component is
played from the front speakers, so the speakers could be
damaged.)
After connecting, be sure to conduct the Auto
MCACC (speaker environment setting) procedure.
See Automatically setting up for surround sound (MCACC)
on page 19.
CAUTION
• Make sure that all speakers are securely installed. This
not only improves sound quality, but also reduces the risk
of damage or injury resulting from speakers being
knocked over or falling in the event of external shocks
such as earthquakes.
Connecting the speakers
The receiver will work with just two stereo speakers (the front
speakers in the diagram) but using at least three speakers is
recommended, and a complete setup is best for surround
sound.
Make sure you connect the speaker on the right to the right
(R) terminal and the speaker on the left to the left (L) terminal.
Also make sure the positive and negative (+/) terminals on
the receiver match those on the speakers.
You can use speakers with a normal impedance between 4 Ω
and 16 Ω.
Be sure to complete all connections before connecting this unit
to the AC power source.
CAUTION
• These speaker terminals carry HAZARDOUS LIVE
voltage. To prevent the risk of electric shock when
connecting or disconnecting the speaker cables,
disconnect the power cord before touching any
uninsulated parts.
• Make sure that all the bare speaker wire is twisted
together and inserted fully into the speaker terminal. If
any of the bare speaker wire touches the back panel it
may cause the power to cut off as a safety measure.
Do not allow the speaker cable core to come into contact
with the receiver body.
-
If the speaker cable core comes into contact with any
metal portion of the receiver’s body, it may damage the
speakers and cause smoke and fire.
Insert speaker cables securely into the terminals and
check that the cable does not come out of easily.
