➤ When surround effect is not enough

En

The unit achieves its surround sound effects by projecting sound beams which reflect 
off walls. The sound beams are not reflected toward to the listening position caused by 
furniture, etc., in the path of sound beams, or the room shape. In this case, the sound 
may become unbalanced.

If the sound beams are not reflected toward to the listening position (figure 2), you can

adjust for this by installing the optional sound reflection board YRB-100.

• YRB-100 may not be available in some countries or regions.

The unit outputs sound beams according to the “Position” settings (p. 19) as shown in 
the following illustrations.

Install the YRB-100 in the path of the sound beam.

 shows the recommended install position.

• After installing the sound reflection board, refer to the YRB-100 owner’s manual to 

adjust the height and angle. Playing test-tones from “Channel Level” in the setup 
menu is recommended when adjusting the board (p. 50).

• By installing the board close to your listening position, you can achieve clear surround 

sound positioning.

Surround right is quieter than surround 
(left), or surround right is in front of its 
proper location.

The sound beam for surround right is 
reflected correctly, and correct surround 
sound effect is achieved.

• This unit does not have the function to automatically adjust sound beam angles. It is not necessary to 

adjust the sound beam angles, although the procedure is described in the owner’s manual.
