SPEAKER SETUP
SPEAKERS TO BE USED
This unit is designed to provide the best sound-field quality with a 5 speaker configuration. The most effective speakers to use with
this unit are main speakers, rear speakers and a center speaker. You may omit the center speaker. (Refer to the “4-Speaker
Configuration” shown below.)
The main speakers are used for the main source sound plus the effect sounds. They will probably be the speakers from your
present stereo system. The rear speakers are used for the effect and surround sounds, and the center speaker is for the center
sounds (dialog etc.) within programs encoded with Dolby Surround. The center speaker needs to be equal in power to the main
speakers, although the rear speakers should not be equal. However, all the speakers should have high enough power handling to
accept the maximum output of this unit.
SPEAKER CONFIGURATION
5-Speaker Configuration
This configuration is the most effective and recommended one.
In this configuration, the center speaker is necessary as well as
the rear speakers. If one of the programs shown below is
selected, conversations will be output from the center speaker
and the ambience will be excellent.
• PRO LOGIC
• PRO LOGIC ENHANCED
• 70 mm MOVIE THEATER RX-V692RDS only
• TV SPORTS RX-V692RDS only
Note: Set the center channel mode to the “NORMAL” or
“WIDE” position. (For details, refer to page 23.)
4-Speaker Configuration
The center speaker is not used in this configuration. If one of
the programs shown below is selected, the center sound is
output from the left and the right main speakers. However, the
sound effect of other programs can be the same as that of the
5-speaker configuration.
• PRO LOGIC
• PRO LOGIC ENHANCED
• 70 mm MOVIE THEATER RX-V692RDS only
• TV SPORTS RX-V692RDS only
Note: Be sure to set the center channel mode to the
“PHANTOM” position. (For details, refer to page 23.)
SPEAKER PLACEMENT
The recommended speaker configuration, the 5-speaker configuration, will require two speaker pairs: main speakers (your normal
stereo speakers), and rear speakers, plus a center speaker. When you place these speakers, refer to the following.
Main: In normal position. (The position of your present
stereo speaker system.)
Rear: Behind your listening position, facing slightly inward.
Nearly six feet (approx. 1.8 m) up from the floor.
Center: Precisely between the main speakers. (To avoid
interference with TV sets, use a magnetically shielded
speaker.)
