Enhance your audio system
You can use this receiver as the pre-amplifier (control amplifier)
when you connect power amplifiers to the PREOUT jacks on the
rear panel, using cables with RCA pin plugs (not supplied).
• Connect the white plug to the audio left jack, and the red plug to
the audio right jack.
Placing speakers
Front speakers (L/R) and center speaker (C)
• Place these speakers at the same height from the floor, at or near
ear level.
• Array across the front of the viewing area.
Surround speakers (LS/RS) and surround back speakers (SB)
• Place these speakers at a position which is 60 cm to 90 cm higher
than the listener’s ears.
• Point these speakers directly across the listening area, but not at
the listener’s ears.
Subwoofer
• You can place it wherever you like since bass sound is non-
directional. Normally place it in front of you.
Note:
Ideal speaker layout requires that all speakers be placed at the
same distance from the listener. However, since in some places it
may be difficult to fulfil this requirement, this receiver can adjust the
delay time so that the sounds through all the speakers reach the
listener with the same timing. (See page 35.)
* When only one speaker is connected for
the surround back speaker.
Zone 1 speaker layout
Ideal speaker layout varies depending on the conditions of your
listening room. The diagram below is a recommended typical
example.
Subwoofer
CAUTION:
Do not place the center speaker on the TV. If you do so, the center
speaker may cause various troubles to the TV (for example, color
unevenness). Moreover, it may hurt you by its falling from the TV.
