following guidelines should help you to get the

best sound from your system.

• The subwoofer can be placed on the floor.

Deutsch

Ideally, the other speakers should be at

about ear-level when you’re listening to

them. Putting the speakers on the floor

(except the subwoofer), or mounting them

very high on a wall is not recommended.

Français

• For the best stereo effect, place the front

speakers 2 m to 3 m apart, at equal

distance from the TV.

• If you’re going to place speakers around

your CRT TV, use shielded speakers or

of the front left and right speakers.

Español

• It is best to angle the speakers towards the

listening position. The angle depends on

the size of the room. Use less of an angle

for bigger rooms.

• Surround and surround back speakers

should be positioned 60 cm to 90 cm higher

than your ears and tilted slightly downward.

Make sure the speakers don’t face each

other. For DVD-Audio, the speakers should

be more directly behind the listener than for

home theater playback.

• Try not to place the surround speakers

farther away from the listening position

than the front and center speakers. Doing

so can weaken the surround sound effect.

1 After this receiver is connected to an AC outlet, a 2 second to 10 second HDMI initialization process begins. You

cannot carry out any operations during this process. The HDMI indicator in the front panel display blinks during this

process, and you can turn on this receiver once it has stopped blinking. When you set the Control to OFF, you can

skip this process. For details about the Control with HDMI function, see Control with HDMI function on page 63.
