Yamaha RX-V3800 Manuale Utente

The speaker layout below shows the speaker setting we recommend. You can use it to enjoy the CINEMA DSP and 
multi-channel audio sources.

■

7.1-channel speaker layout is highly recommended for playback the sound of high definition audio formats (Dolby 
TrueHD, DTS-HD Master Audio, etc.) as well as the conventional audio sources with sound field programs. See page 15 
for connection information.

y
We recommend that you also add the presence speakers for the effect sounds of the CINEMA DSP sound field program. See page 17 for 
details.

 

The front speakers are used for the main source sound plus effect sounds. Place these speakers at an equal distance from the 
ideal listening position. The distance of each speaker from each side of the video monitor should be the same.

The center speaker is for the center channel sounds (dialog, vocals, etc.). If for some reason it is not practical to use a 
center speaker, you can do without it. Best results, however, are obtained with the full system. 

The surround speakers are used for effect and surround sounds.

The surround back speakers supplement the surround speakers and provide more realistic front-to-back transitions.

The use of a subwoofer with a built-in amplifier, such as the Yamaha Active Servo Processing Subwoofer System, is 
effective not only for reinforcing bass frequencies from any or all channels, but also for reproducing the high fidelity 
sound of the LFE (low-frequency effect) channel included in Dolby Digital and DTS sources. The position of the 
subwoofer is not so critical, because low bass sounds are not highly directional. But it is better to place the subwoofer 
near the front speakers. Turn it slightly toward the center of the room to reduce wall reflections.
