About Home Theater
Thanks to the AV receiver/AV amplifier’s superb capabilities, you can enjoy surround sound with a real sense of move-
ment in your own home—just like being in a movie theater or concert hall. With DVDs you can enjoy DTS and Dolby 
Digital. With analog and digital TV you can enjoy Dolby Pro Logic IIx or Onkyo’s own DSP surround listening modes.
You can also enjoy THX Surround EX (THX-certified THX speaker system recommended).
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 dis-
tinct and providing a full sound 
image. In movies it’s used 
mainly for dialog.
Position it close to your TV fac-
ing 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 posi-
tion. 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 sub-
woofer, while playing a movie or some 
music with good bass, experiment by 
placing your subwoofer at various posi-
tions 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 feet (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, THX Sur-
round EX, etc. They enhance the 
realism of surround sound and 
improve sound localization behind 
the listener. Position them behind 
the listener about 2–3 feet (60–
100 cm) above ear level.
THX recommends that they be 
placed as close as possible in order 
to make advantage of their propri-
etary ASA (Advanced Speaker 
Array) technology. If this condition is 
not possible, adjust the Surr Back 
Sp Spacing setting via the THX 
Audio Setup. (See page 83.)
