Centre<br />

The centre speaker allows for a more realistic<br />

reproduction of dialogue. The centre speaker<br />

should have a similar tonal balance to the front<br />

left and right speakers and be positioned at a<br />

similar height.<br />

Subwoofer<br />

A subwoofer will greatly improve the bass performance of<br />

your system. This is useful for reproducing special cinema<br />

effects, especially where a dedicated LFE (Low Frequency<br />

Effects) channel is available, as with many discs encoded<br />

with Dolby or DTS technologies.<br />

More than one subwoofer unit may be required for larger<br />

installations, particularly in rooms of a timber frame<br />

construction. Multiple subwoofers need care in placement<br />

because there may be cancellation effects between the<br />

units and you may require expert advice.<br />

Front left and right<br />

Position your front left and right speakers to<br />

achieve a good stereo image for normal musical<br />

reproduction as well as for the multichannel<br />

modes. If they are placed too close together there<br />

will be a lack of spaciousness; if they are placed<br />

too far apart a stereo image will appear to have a<br />

large ‘hole’ in the middle and will be presented in<br />

two halves. If there is no practical alternative to<br />

placing the speakers widely apart, this effect can<br />

be overcome in music reproduction by using the<br />

centre sound extraction from the left and right<br />

speakers (see Dolby Pro Logic II Music mode).<br />

Surround left and right<br />

The surround left and right speakers reproduce<br />

the ambient sound and effects present in a<br />

multichannel home cinema system and should be<br />

installed slightly higher than the listener’s ears.<br />

Surround back left and right<br />

The surround back left and right speakers<br />

are used to add extra depth and better<br />

sound localisation and should be installed<br />

approximately one metre higher than the<br />

listener’s ears. Place the two surround<br />

back speakers such that there is an arc of<br />

approximately 150 degrees between each<br />

surround back speaker and the centre speaker.<br />

The surround back speakers should face the front<br />

of the room as shown in the diagram to provide<br />

the largest ‘sweet spot’.<br />

Single surround back centre speaker<br />

It is also possible to use a single surround back<br />

speaker positioned centrally behind the listening<br />

position instead of two. In this case connect it to the<br />

SBL speaker output. Follow the instructions in the<br />

‘Spkr Types’ section of the Setup Menus for how to<br />

configure the <strong>AVR600</strong> for this setup.<br />
