The speaker layout above shows the standard ITU-R
speaker setting. You can use it to enjoy CINEMA DSP,
multi-channel audio sources.
1.8 m
Front speakers (FR and FL)
The front speakers are used for the main source sound
plus effect sounds. Place these speakers 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 (C)
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.
Align the front face of the center speaker with the front
face of your video monitor. Place the speaker centrally
between the front speakers and as close to the monitor as
possible, such as directly over or under it.
Surround speakers (SR and SL)
The surround speakers are used for effect and surround
sounds. Place these speakers behind your listening
position, facing slightly inwards, about 1.8 m above the
floor.

Subwoofer (SWFR)
The use of a subwoofer, 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 high fidelity reproduction of the LFE
(low-frequency effect) channel included in Dolby Digital
and DTS software. 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. Turn it slightly toward the center of the
room to reduce wall reflections.
