• 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).

• Connect the surround speakers to the surround speaker A

jacks on the AVR-5805 and set settings on the setup menu

to “A”. (This is the factory default setting. For details, see

page 27.)

• 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 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.

• When using two surround back speakers, set them at the back facing front and with both speakers at the

same distance from the listening point. 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.

• Connect the surround speakers to the surround speaker A jacks on the AVR-5805 and set settings on the

setup menu to “A”. (This is the factory default setting. For details, see page 27.)

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] For THX Surround EX systems (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.

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 (THX) 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.
