About Home Theater
Thanks to the AV receiver’s superb capabilities, you can enjoy surround sound with a real sense of movement in your
own home—just like being in a movie theater or concert hall. You can enjoy DVDs featuring Dolby Digital or DTS.
With analog or digital TV, you can enjoy Dolby Pro Logic IIx, DTS Neo:6, or Onkyo’s original DSP listening modes.

Enjoying Home Theater
Front left and right speakers
These output the overall sound. Their role in a home theater is to provide a solid
anchor for the sound image. They should be positioned facing the listener at about
ear level, and equidistant from the TV. Angle them inward so as to create a triangle,
with the listener at the apex.

Center speaker
This speaker enhances the
front left and right speakers,
making sound movements
distinct and providing a full
sound image. In movies it’s
used mainly for dialog.
Position it close to your TV
facing forward at about ear
level, or at the same height as
the front left and right speakers.

Subwoofer
The subwoofer handles the bass
sounds of the LFE (Low-Frequency
Effects) channel. The volume and
quality of the bass output from your
subwoofer will depend on its position,
the shape of your listening room, and
your listening position. In general, a
good bass sound can be obtained by
installing the subwoofer in a front corner,
or at one-third the width of the wall, as
shown.
Tip: To find the best position for your
subwoofer, while playing a movie or
some music with good bass, experiment
by placing your subwoofer at various
positions within the room, and choose
the one that provides the most satisfying
results.

Surround left and right speakers
These speakers are used for precise sound positioning and
to add realistic ambience.
Position them at the sides of the listener, or slightly behind,
about 2–3 ft (60–100 cm) above ear level. Ideally they
should be equidistant from the listener.

Surround back left and right
speakers
These speakers are necessary to
enjoy Dolby Digital EX, DTS-ES
Matrix, DTS-ES Discrete, etc. They
enhance the realism of surround
sound and improve sound
localization behind the listener.
Position them behind the listener
about 2–3 ft (60–100 cm) above ear

Front high left and right speakers (Optional)
These speakers are necessary to enjoy Dolby Pro Logic IIz Height,
etc. They enhance significantly the spatial experience.
Position them at least 3.3 ft (100 cm) above the front left and right
speakers (and as high as possible). Although it is acceptable to
place left and right at an angle slightly wider than the front left and
right speakers. Ideally they should be positioned directly above the
front left and right speakers. Front high and surround back
speakers produce no sound at the same time. When you connect
the front high left and right speakers, preparate it separately.
