Additional Information Additional Information

• 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

centimers (2 to 3 feet) above the ears.

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

Using dipolar speakers for the surround back speakers as well

is more effective.

• Connect the surround speakers to the surround speaker A

terminals on the AVR-3806 and set all settings on the setup

menu to “A”. (This is the factory default setting. ( page 82)).

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

shown on the diagram at the left, creating an enveloping and

realistic surround sound presentation.

For multi-channel music sources however, the use of bipolar or

dipolar speakers mounted at the sides of the listening position

may not be satisfactory in order to create a coherent 360

degree surround sound field. Connect another pair of direct

radiating speakers as described in example (3) and place them

at the rear corners of the room facing towards the prime

listening position.

• Set the front speakers slightly wider apart than the setup for

watching movies only and point them toward the listening

position in order assure clear positioning of the sound.

• Set the center speaker in the same positions as in example (1).

• Set surround speakers A for watching movies in the positions

described in example (1) or (2), depending on the types of

speakers used.

• Set surround speakers B for playing multi-channel music at the

same height as the front speakers and slightly at an angle to the

rear of the listening position, and point them toward the

listening position.

• Connect the surround speakers for watching movies to the

surround speaker A terminals on the AVR-3806, the surround

speakers for playing multi-channel music to the surround

speaker B terminals. Set the surround speaker selection on the

setup menu ( page 79).

e When using different surround speakers for movies and

music

To achieve more effective surround sound for both movies and

music, use different sets of surround speakers and different

surround modes for the two types of sources.

[2] When not using surround back 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

centimeters (2 to 3 feet) above ear level at the prime listening

position.

• Connect the surround speakers to the surround speaker A

terminals on the AVR-3806 and set all settings on the setup

menu to “A”. (This is the factory default setting. ( page 82)).
