Front Surround Setup - Pioneer HTS-260 Mode D'emploi

01 Speaker Setup Guide

Front surround setup

This setup is ideal when rear surround speaker
placement isn't possible or you want to avoid running
long speaker cables in your listening area. Use this setup
together with the Front Surround modes in page 20 to
take advantage of wall and ceiling reflections for a very
realistic surround effect.

2 Attach the surround speakers to the speaker
stands.
For each speaker, line up the spurs on the stand with the
holes on the back of the speaker and insert, then secure
the speaker to the stand with the screw provided.
3 Connect the speaker system.
Refer to Connecting up to connect the speakers properly.
After connecting everything, place the speakers as
shown in the diagram (left) for optimal surround sound
(the surround speakers are next to the front speakers).
4 Turn the speakers as shown, following the guide
marks for optimal Front Surround.
If you have selected FRTMOVIE (Front Surround Movie)
or FRTMUSIC (Front Surround Music), turn each
surround speaker so that the guide markers on the stand
base are lined up horizontally in the direction the
listening position (see below). With EXTPOWER (Extra
Power), the surround speakers should point in the same
direction as the front speakers (see below).
See Using Front Surround on page 20 for more
information.
