ConnectIons
The speaker layout below shows the speaker setting we recommend.
You
can use it to enjoy the CINEMA DSP and
multi-channel audio sources.
7.1-channel speaker layout
7.I-channel speaker layout is highly recommended for playback the sound
of
high definition audio formats (Dolby
TrueHD, DTS-HD Master Audio, etc.) as well as the conventional audio sources with sound field programs. See page
14
for connection information.
,I,
~<il~
We
recommend that you also add the presence speakers for the effect sounds
of
the CINEMA DSP sound field program. See page
13
for
details.

Front
left
and
right
speakers
The front speakers are used for the main source sound plus effect sounds. Place these speakers at an equal distance
from
the
ideal listening position. The distance
of
each speaker from each side
of
the video monitor should be the same.
Center
speaker
The center speaker
is
for the center channel sounds (dialog, vocals, etc.).
If
for some reason it is not practical to use a
center speaker, you can do without
it.
Best results, however, are obtained with the full system.
Surround
left
and
right
speakers
The surround speakers are used for effect and surround sounds.
Surround
back
left
and
right
speakers
The surround back speakers supplement the surround speakers and provide more realistic front-to-back transitions.
SUbwoofer(s)
The use
of
a subwoofer with a built-in amplifier, such as the Yamaha Active Servo Processing Subwoofer System, is
effective not only for reinforcing bass frequencies from any
or
all channels, but also for reproducing the high fidelity
sound
of
the LFE (low-frequency effect) channel included
in
Dolby Digital and DTS sources.
You
can connect one
or
two subwoofer(s) to this unit. When you use two subwoofers, you can enjoy deeper bass sound. The position
of
the
subwoofer is not so critical, because low bass sounds are not highly directional. But it is better to place the subwoofer
near the front speakers. Tum it slightly toward the center
of
the room to reduce waIl reflections.
~(j{':.
When you use two subwoofers, select the same type
of
the subwoofer
as
another and set these subwoofers
as
same sound characteristics.
Place each subwoofer at the same distance from the listening position. The signal output at the SUBWOOFER PRE OUT 2 is the same
as the one output at the SUBWOOFER PRE
OUT
I jack.
