• Set the front speakers, center speaker and subwoofer in the samepositions as in example (1).• It is best to place the surround speakers directly at the side or slightlyto the front of the viewing position, and 2 to 3 feet (60 to 90 cm)above the ears.• Same as surround back speaker installation method (1).Using dipolar speakers for the surround back speakers as well ismore effective.• The signals from the surround channels reflect off the walls asshown on the diagram at the left, creating an enveloping and realisticsurround sound presentation.• Set the front speakers with their front surfaces as flush with the TVor monitor screen as possible. Set the center speaker between thefront left and right speakers and no further from the listening positionthan the front speakers.• Consult the owner’s manual for your subwoofer for advice on placingthe subwoofer within the listening room.• If the surround speakers are direct-radiating (monopolar) then placethem slightly behind and at an angle to the listening position andparallel to the walls at a position 2 to 3 feet (60 to 90 cm) above earlevel at the prime listening position.• When using two surround back speakers, place them at the backfacing the front at a narrower distance than the front left and right speakers. When using one surround back speaker,place it at the rear center facing the front at a slightly higher position 0 to 0.7 feet (0 to 20 cm) than the surroundspeakers.• We recommend installing the surround back speaker(s) at a slightly downward facing angle. This effectively preventsthe surround back channel signals from reflecting off the monitor or screen at the front center, resulting in interferenceand making the sense of movement from the front to the back less sharp.SubwooferSurround speakerFront speaker2 to 3 feetSurround speakerFront speaker2 to 3 feetSurround back speakers60°Front speakers60°MonitorCenter speakerAs seen from aboveAs seen from aboveAs seen from the sideAs seen from the sidePath of the surround sound from thespeakers to the listening positionSurroundspeakersSurround back speakers60°SurroundspeakersSurround backspeakerSurround backspeakerPoint slightlydownwardsPoint slightlydownwards• Set the front speakers with their front surfaces as flush with the TV ormonitor screen as possible.

Use these examples as guides to set up your system according to the typeof speakers used and the main usage purpose.1. DTS-ES compatible system (using surround back speakers)(1) Basic setting for primarily watching moviesThis is recommended when mainly playing movies and using regular single way or 2-way speakers for the surround speakers.(2) Setting for primarily watching movies using diffusion type speakers for the surround speakersFor the greatest sense of surround sound envelopment, diffuse radiation speakers such as bipolar types, or dipolar types, provide a widerdispersion than is possible to obtain from a direct radiating speaker (monopolar). Place these speakers at either side of the prime listeningposition, mounted above ear level.2. When not using surround back speakers67ENGLISH
