Multi channel surround

For the best possible surround sound, all
speakers should be the same distance from the
listening position (
A
).
However, the receiver lets you to place the
center speaker up to 1.5 meters closer (
B
) and
the surround speakers up to 4.5 meters closer
(
C
) to the listening position.
The front speakers can be placed from 1.0 to
12.0 meters from the listening position (
A
).
You can place the surround speakers either
behind you or to the side, depending on the
shape of your room (etc.).
Place the sub woofer at the same distance from
the listening position as the front speaker (left
or right).
