Hints on speaker placement Speakers are usually designed with a particular placement in mind. Some are designed to be floorstanding, while others should be placed on stands to sound their best. Some should be placed near a wall; others should be placed away from walls. Follow the guidelines on placement that the speaker manufacturer provided with your particular speakers to get the most out of them. · Place the front left and right speakers at equal distances from the TV. · When placing speakers near the TV, we recommend using magnetically shielded speakers to prevent possible interference, such as discoloration of the picture when the TV is switched on. If you do not have magnetically shielded speakers and notice discoloration of the TV picture, move the speakers farther away from the TV. · Install the center speaker above or below the TV so that the sound of the center channel is localized at the TV screen. CAUTION! If you choose to install the center speaker on top of the TV, be sure to secure it with putty, or by other suitable means, to reduce the risk of damage or injury resulting from the speaker falling from the TV in the event of external shocks such as earthquakes. · If possible, install the surround speakers slightly above ear level. · Try not to install the surround speakers farther away from the listening position than the front and center speakers. Doing so can weaken the surround sound effect. · To achieve the best possible surround sound, install your speakers as shown below. Be sure all speakers are installed securely to prevent accidents and improve sound quality.

So, for example, here you set whether you have connected surround speakers or not, and how big they are. Selecting "Large" or "Small" will determine how much bass is sent by the receiver to the speakers being set. In the display, "F", "C", and "S" refer to front, center, and surround speakers respectively. Speaker size is denoted as "L" for large speakers, "S" for small speakers, and "*" (asterisk) if no speaker is connected. MEMO: If the cone size (diameter) of the speaker is larger than 5 inches, please set to Large. SUBWOOFER ON/PLUS/OFF setting mode Sets whether the SUBWOOFER is used or not. Also, when used you have the option to use the "PLUS" setting. Press % or fi to select subwoofer ON, PLUS or OFF. MEMO: · The initial setting is "ON". · Setting the front speaker size to "Small" in the SPEAKERS setting mode automatically locks the subwoofer in the "ON" position. · Use the PLUS for extra bass. When you use PLUS you will get the bass sounds from the subwoofer even if the front speakers are set to "Large". Choose a speaker setting mode according to the speakers you hooked up. Use the % or fi buttons. The configurations shown below will appear in the display on the front of the receiver. One of them should match your speaker set up. Cycle through the different possibilities until you find the one that matches your set up. Press # to advance to the next receiver setting, and press @ to return to a previous receiver setting. Crossover frequency setting mode Crossover frequency is the point where the receiver divides the high and low sounds (the frequencies) between the speakers. Since most smaller speakers can't handle deep bass tones, this setting allows you to send those sounds to the subwoofer (or speakers set to "Large" if you don't have a subwoofer) instead of the speakers set to "Small" in your system. Choose the point at which you want the frequency routed to the subwoofer (or "Large" speakers). We recommend setting this to 200 Hz if smaller bookshelf-type speakers are used for your "Small" speakers. Press % or fi to specify the crossover frequency for your small speakers (100 Hz, 150 Hz or 200 Hz). 100Hz 150Hz 200Hz 100 Hz Sends bass frequencies below 100 Hz to the subwoofer (or "Large" speakers). 150 Hz Sends bass frequencies below 150 Hz to the subwoofer (or "Large" speakers). 200 Hz Sends bass frequencies below 200 Hz to the subwoofer (or "Large" speakers). 14 En
