Installation procedure

This unit can be used in a number of ways, depending on

the layout of the speakers you are installing, and the

connections made to external devices. Read the following

to help make the installation process smoother.

Step1: Speaker Layout

Select the speaker layout that suits the types of speakers

you have and the conditions they will be used in from the

choices presented on pages P8 to P12, then install the

speakers by referring to the illustrations and explanations

on the relevant page. Speaker layouts include systems that

use surround back speakers, systems that use height

speakers, and systems that use Bi-Amping speakers. Also

refer to the combinations available in "Speaker

combinations" on P13.

Step2: Connect the Speakers

To connect the speaker systems to this unit, refer to P14 if

you are using a speaker layout described on one of P8 to

P11, and to P15 to use a speaker layout using Bi-Amping

speakers described on P12. The connection process will be

smoother if you refer to the illustrations and explanations

and prepare the required cables before hand.

Step3: Connect the TV & AV Components

Refer to P16 to P21 to connect your external devices such

as your TV, Blu-ray Disc Player, and also supplied

accessories such as the antennas. Also, P20 introduces

the Multi-zone Connection option that allows you to play

audio into rooms other than the main room. The connection

process will be smoother if you refer to the illustrations and

explanations, confirm the connection types on the external

devices, and prepare the required cables before hand.

Step1: Speaker Layout

7.1 Channel System

Front speakers output front stereo sound and a center

speaker outputs center sound such as dialogs and vocals.

Surround speakers create back sound field. Powered

subwoofer reproduces bass sounds and creates rich sound

field.

This basic 5.1 Channel System with surround back

speakers added is called a 7.1 Channel System. The

connection of surround back speakers improves the sense

of envelopment and connectivity of sound created by the

back sound field and provides a more real sound field.

Furthermore, by installing surround back speakers, you can

select the Dolby Atmos listening mode, which realizes the

most up-to-date 3D sound, when the input format is Dolby

Atmos.

The front speakers should be positioned at ear height, while

the surround speakers should be positioned just above ear

height. Center speaker should be set up facing the listening

position. Placing the powered subwoofer between the

center speaker and a front speaker gives you a natural

sound even when playing music. The optimal positioning is

for surround back speakers to be at ear height.

0If you are including surround back speakers in the setup,

surround speakers are required.

examples of speaker combinations.

5.1.2 Channel System-1

(Front High Speakers/Rear High Speakers)

This is a basic 5.1 channel system consisting of front

speakers, a center speaker, surround speakers, and a

powered subwoofer, with the addition of front height

speakers or rear high speakers, which are both types of

height speakers. By installing height speakers, you can

select the Dolby Atmos listening mode, which realizes the

most up-to-date 3D sound including overhead sounds,

when the input format is Dolby Atmos. Front high speakers

or rear high speakers should be situated at least 3´/0.9 m

higher than the front speakers. Front high speakers should

be situated directly above the front speakers and the

distance between the rear high speakers should match the

distance between the front speakers. Both should be set up

facing the listening position.

examples of speaker combinations.

5.1.2 Channel System-2

(Ceiling Speakers)

This is a basic 5.1 channel system consisting of front

speakers, a center speaker, surround speakers, and a

powered subwoofer, with the addition of top front speakers,

top middle speakers, or top rear speakers, which are types

of height speakers. By installing height speakers, you can

select the Dolby Atmos listening mode, which realizes the

most up-to-date 3D sound including overhead sounds,

when the input format is Dolby Atmos. Fit top front speakers

on the ceiling forward of the seating position, top middle

speakers on the ceiling directly above the seating position,

and top rear speakers on the ceiling behind the seating

position. The distance between each pair should match the

distance between the two front speakers.

0Dolby Laboratories recommends placing this type of

height speakers to obtain the best Dolby Atmos effect.
