Speaker Placement
The RDC-7.1 has many excellent features to recreate a clear three-dimensional sound image and lively sound movement.
This enables you to enjoy, at home, the rich sound effects of a live theater or concert hall performance.
When playing a DVD, you can enjoy sound effects provided by DTS or Dolby Digital, depending on the recording
format. In addition, you can enjoy THX sound and IntegraRESEARCH’s proprietary DSP surround playback for TV or
digital satellite broadcasts.
• For optimum surround playback, set the distance between the listener and the speakers so that the time it takes
the sound to reach the listener is same. Also, you need to set each speaker volume level individually in order to
balance the volume level between speakers (See pages 92 to 94).
Basic Speaker Placements for Home Theater and the Function of Respective

Complements the sound effects from front left and right speakers
to enrich and clear the sound image and movement. In movies, an
actor’s speech comes mainly from the center speaker.

enhance and complement bass
sound effects.
Front left and right speakers
Outputs overall sound. They play the most important role in a home the-
ater system, by creating basic sound images and fields.
Surround left and right speakers
Enhances the sensation of being at a live performance by giving three-dimensional
sound movement to the sound effects.
