To obtain the best surround sound effect in your home, place the speakers as
follows;
• Front speakers: Place each front speaker about 1m (40
) from the TV set.
• Center speaker: Place the center speaker either above or below the TV set to
assure good visualization of center channel program.
• Rear speakers: Place the rear speakers approximately 1m above the ear level of
a seated listener on the direct left and right of them or slightly
behind.
• Subwoofer: Reproduces powerful deep bass sounds. Place a powered
subwoofer anywhere in the front as desired.
• The ideal surround system needs all the speakers listed above.
To obtain the best surround effects, the speakers except the subwoofer should
be full range speakers.
Note: To avoid interference with the TV picture, use only magnetically
shielded center and front speakers.
• For your reference, the sound from each channel can be reproduced according
to the surround modes as follows:
• Depending on the speaker settings, the sound from the corresponding channels cannot be reproduced.

When the center speaker or the rear speakers is(are) closer to the listener than the front speakers, the sound from
the center speaker or the rear speakers can arrive at the listener’s ears earlier than the sound from the front
speakers.
In this case, the imaging is not as sharp and stable as it could be.
For audible improvement, the sound from center speaker can be delayed with the center delay time setting so that
the sound from the front and the center speakers will be heard at the same time and the sound from the rear
speakers can be also delayed with the rear delay time setting so that the sound from the front and the rear speakers
will be heard at the same time.
The optimum delay time will be different according to the room size and the acoustic properties. It is
recommended that you try several times to obtain the best effect.
• It is adjustable in Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic II or Dolby Pro Logic mode. (For details, refer to “In Dolby
Digital, Dolby Pro Logic II or Dolby Pro Logic mode, adjusting delay times of the speakers” on page 19)
