Installation des enceintes

Un système surround de type 5.1 peut être obtenu en connectant les enceintes avant gauche
et droite (
L
/
R
), l’enceinte centrale (
C
), les enceintes surround gauche et droite (
SL
/
SR
) et le
subwoofer (
SW
).
De plus, à l’aide d’un amplificateur externe, vous pouvez connecter les enceintes surround
gauche et droite (SBL/SBR) et les enceintes avant-haut gauche et droite (FHL/FHR) pour
réaliser un système surround de type 7.1 canaux.
Vous pouvez aussi connecter une enceinte surround arrière (SB) afin d’obtenir un système
surround à 6.1 canaux.
Pour obtenir le meilleur son surround possible, installez vos enceintes conformément à
l’illustration ci-dessous.
a. Cette disposition est possible uniquement lorsque l’amplificateur supplémentaire est raccordé à
l’appareil et que les enceintes surround arrière ou surround avant-haut sont raccordées à
l’amplificateur. Pour plus de détails, voir la section Connectez les enceintes surround arrière ou
surround avant-haut à la page 11.
Conseils d’installation des enceintes
L’emplacement des enceintes dans la pièce d’écoute a une grande influence sur la qualité du
son obtenu. Les conseils suivants vous permettront d’obtenir le meilleur son avec votre
système.
• Le caisson de basses peut être placé sur le sol. L’idéal est de placer les autres enceintes
au niveau de vos oreilles en position d’écoute. Il est déconseillé de poser les enceintes
sur le sol (à l’exception du caisson de graves) ou de les installer très haut en position
murale.
• Pour obtenir un effet stéréo optimal, écartez les enceintes avant de 2 à 3 mètres en les
plaçant à égale distance du téléviseur.
• Si vous prévoyez de placer les enceintes à côté d’un téléviseur à écran cathodique,
utilisez des enceintes protégées contre les interférences électromagnétiques, ou placez
les enceintes à une distance suffisante de l’écran.
• Si vous utilisez une enceinte centrale, placez les enceintes avant à un angle plus grand.
Sinon, placez-les à un angle plus étroit.
• Placez l’enceinte centrale au-dessus ou en dessous du téléviseur de sorte que le son du
canal central semble provenir de l’écran du téléviseur. Assurez-vous également que
l’enceinte centrale ne traverse pas la ligne formée par le bord d’attaque des enceintes
avant gauche et droite.
• Il vaut mieux placer les enceintes de manière à réaliser un angle ouvert vers la position
d’écoute. L’angle dépend de la taille de la pièce. Utilisez un angle inférieur pour les pièces
plus grandes.
Les enceintes surround et surround arrière doivent être placées 60 cm à 90 cm plus haut
que vos oreilles et légèrement inclinées vers le bas. Assurez-vous que les enceintes ne
sont pas face à face. Pour les signaux DVD-Audio, les enceintes doivent être plus
rapprochées de l’auditeur que lors de la lecture sur un appareil de cinéma à domicile.
• Si les enceintes surround ne peuvent pas être placées directement à côté de la position
d’écoute dans un système à 7.1 canaux, l’effet surround pourra être amélioré en
désactivant la fonction Up Mix (voir la section Réglage de la fonction Up Mix à la page 27).
Essayez de placer les enceintes surround à la même distance de la position d’écoute que
les enceintes avant et centrale. Sinon, l’effet de son surround sera affaibli.
• Placez les enceintes avant-haut gauche et droite à au moins un mètre à la verticale au-
dessus des enceintes avant gauche et droite.
ATTENTION
Assurez-vous que toutes les enceintes sont correctement installées. Ceci permet non
seulement d’améliorer la qualité du son, mais aussi de réduire les risques de dommages
ou de blessures, en empêchant les enceintes d’être renversées ou de tomber en cas de
choc externe ou de secousse telle qu’un tremblement de terre.
Important
Vous devez disposer d’un amplificateur supplémentaire pour raccorder les enceintes
surround arrière ou surround avant-haut. Raccordez l’amplificateur supplémentaire aux
sorties PRE OUT SURR BACK/FRONT HEIGHT de cet appareil et raccordez les enceintes
surround arrière ou les enceintes surround avant-haut à l’amplificateur supplémentaire
(voir la section Connectez les enceintes surround arrière ou surround avant-haut à la
page 11).

Hi, I have a question. I connected the receiver to the TV via HDMI-1, and when I turn off the TV or unplug the receiver, the receiver also turns off and doesn't turn back on unless I reconnect it to the TV. Thank you very much in advance for your response, it's very important.
