Speaker setting examples

Here we describe a number of speaker settings for different

purposes. Use these examples as guides to set up your system

according to the type of speakers used and the main usage

purpose.

[1] DTS-ES compatible system

(using surround back speakers)

q Basic setting for primarily watching movies

This is recommended when mainly playing movies and using

regular single way or 2-way speakers for the surround speakers.

• Set the front speakers with their front surfaces as flush with

the TV or monitor screen as possible. Set the center speaker

between the front left and right speakers and no further from

the listening position than the front speakers.

• Consult the owner’s manual for your subwoofer for advice on

placing the subwoofer within the listening room.

• If the surround speakers are direct-radiating (monopolar), then

place them slightly behind and at an angle to the listening

position and parallel to the walls at a position 60 to 90 cm above

ear level at the prime listening position.

• When using two surround back speakers, place them at the

back facing the front at a narrower distance than the front left

and right speakers. When using one surround back speaker,

place it at the rear center facing the front at a slightly higher

position 0 to 20 cm than the surround speakers.

•We recommend installing the surround back speaker(s) at a

slightly downward facing angle. This effectively prevents the

surround back channel signals from reflecting off the monitor or

screen at the front center, resulting in interference and making

the sense of movement from the front to the back less sharp.

w Setting for primarily watching movies using diffusion

type speakers for the surround speakers

For the greatest sense of surround sound envelopment, diffuse

radiation speakers such as bipolar types, or dipolar types, provide

a wider dispersion than is possible to obtain from a direct

radiating speaker (monopolar). Place these speakers at either

side of the prime listening position, mounted above ear level.

With this set, speaker(s) for 1 or 2 channels are required to

achieve a 6.1-channel system (DTS-ES, etc.). Adding these

speakers, however, increases the surround effect not only with

sources recorded in 6.1 channels but also with conventional 2- to

5.1-channel sources. Furthermore, all the DENON original

surround modes ( page 24) are compatible with 7.1-channel

playback, so you can enjoy 7.1-channel sound with any signal

source.

2 Number of surround back speakers

Though the surround back channel only consists of 1 channel of

playback signals for 6.1-channel sources (DTS-ES, etc.), we

recommend using two speakers. When using speakers with

dipolar characteristics in particular, it is essential to use two

speakers.

Using two speakers results in a smoother blend with the sound

of the surround channels and better sound positioning of the

surround back channel when listening from a position other than

the center.

2 Placement of the surround left and right

channels when using surround back speakers

Using surround back speakers greatly improves the positioning

of the sound at the rear. Because of this, the surround left and

right channels play an important role in achieving a smooth

transition of the acoustic image from the front to the back. As

shown in the diagram above, in a movie theater the surround

signals are also produced from diagonally in front of the listeners,

creating an acoustic image as if the sound were floating in space.

To achieve these effects, we recommend placing the speakers

for the surround left and right channels slightly more towards the

front than with conventional surround systems. Doing so

sometimes increases the surround effect when playing

conventional 5.1-channel sources in the 6.1 surround or DTS-ES

Matrix 6.1 mode. Check the surround effects of the various

modes before selecting the surround mode.

• Set the front speakers, center speaker and subwoofer in the

same positions as in example (1).

• It is best to place the surround speakers directly at the side or

slightly to the front of the viewing position, and 60 to 90 cm

above the ears.

• Same as surround back speaker installation method (1).

Using dipolar speakers for the surround back speakers as well

is more effective.

• The signals from the surround channels reflect off the walls as

shown in the diagram above, creating an enveloping and

realistic surround sound presentation.
