Overview

This

section

describes

how

to

connect

your

speakers

to

the

receiver.

Although

front

(left

and

right)

speakers

are

required,

center

and

rear

speakers

are

optional.

Adding

center

and

rear

speakers

will

enhance

the

surround

effects.

Connecting

an

active

woofer

will

increase

bass

response.

Note

Do

Note

Getting

Speaker

placement

for

STR-DE915

For

the

best

possible

surround

sound,

we

recommend:

*

The

best

quality

speakers

possible

*

Front,

center,

and

rear

speakers

of

equivalent

size

and

quality

*

Positioning

of

speakers

at

the

same

distance

from

the

listening

position

(Ө).

The

center

speaker,

however,

may

be

moved

closer,

but

not

beyond

the

straight

line

connecting

the

two

-front

speakers

(@).

The

rear

speakers

may

also

be

closer

to

listening

position

than

the

front

speakers

(@),

to

suit

the

configuration

of

your

room.

If

the

surround

effect

is

still

inadequate,

adjust

the

CENTER

DELAY

and

REAR

DELAY

parameters

(see

page

19).

Notes

*

Do

not

place

the

center

or

rear

speakers

farther

away

from

the

Itstening-position

than

the

front

speakers.

*

When

mounting

the

rear

speakers

on

side

walls

perpendicular

to

the

listening

position

they

should

be

placed

60

-

90

cm.above

the

listening

position

(as

shown

below

in

"Speaker

placement

for

STR-DE715/DE615/

D660Z

/

D560Z").

Depending

on

the

shape

of

your

room

(etc.),

you

may

wish

to

place

the

rear

speakers

behind

you

instead

of

on

the

side

walls.

One

advantage

of

this

placement

is

that

you

can

use

a

pair

of

large

floor

standing

speakers

matching

your

front

speakers.

`

Note

If

you

place

the

rear

speakers

behind

you,

be

sure

to

check

the

speaker

location

setting

in

the

SPEAKER

SETUP

menu

when

using
