Onkyo HT-R391 - Manuel (Page 71)

En-3
The Home Theater means that you can enjoy surround
sound with a real sense of movement in your own home —
just like being in a movie theater or concert hall.
Front left and right speakers (SKF-391)
They should be positioned facing the listener at about
ear level, and equally spaced from the TV. Angle them
inward slightly so as to create a triangle, with the
listener at the apex.
Center speaker (SKC-391/SKC-391C)
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.
Surround left and right speakers (SKR-391)
Position them at the sides of the listener, or slightly
behind, about 2 to 3 feet (60 to 100 cm) above ear
level. Ideally they should be equally spaced from the
listener.
Subwoofer (SKW-391)
The subwoofer handles the bass sounds of the LFE
(Low-Frequency Effects) channel and bass from the
satellite speakers when a crossover is specified. The
volume and quality of the bass output from your
subwoofer will depend on its position, the shape of
your listening room, and your listening position. In
general, a good bass sound can be obtained by
installing the subwoofer in a front corner, or at one-
third the way along the front wall, as shown.
Speaker Connection Precautions
Read the following before connecting your speakers:
• Turn off your receiver before making any connections.
• Pay close attention to speaker wiring polarity.
Connect positive (+) terminals to only
positive (+) terminals, and negative (–)
terminals to only negative (–) terminals. If the
speakers are wired incorrectly, the sound will be out of
phase and will sound unnatural.
• Be careful not to short the positive and negative wires.
Doing so may damage your amp.
