Speaker placement

Front speaker Front speaker
Subwoofer
Surround speaker
Surround Back speaker (6.1ch)
(KRF-V6400D only)
Front speakers
Install in the front left and right positions. Symmetrical
installation is ideal. The front speakers are always used regardless
of the listen mode.
Center speaker
Install in the front center position. This speaker improves
the acoustic image positioning and reproduction of sound
movement.
Surround speakers
Install straight on or slightly behind the left and right of the
listening position, at in an as high as possible height (ideally
one meter above the height of the listener's ears). Symmetrical
installation is ideal. The surround speakers reproduce the feeling
of movement and presence of sound.
Subwoofer
In general, install on the front center position near the front
speakers. The subwoofer reproduces the powerful bass effects. As
it is less directional to other speakers, it can be installed so that
the bass can be reproduced best according to the listening room
layout.
Surround Back speaker (KRF-V6400D only)
Install on the rear of the listening position, at the same height as
the surround speakers.
• Ideal surround play is possible when all of the speakers
above are installed. If the center speaker and/or the
subwoofer is not installed, the system optimizes playback
according to the current system by assigning the sound
of absent channels to other speakers.
• KRF-V5450D :
Up to two subwoofers can be connected to KRF-V5450D.
See <Connecting speakers> * for how to connect
the subwoofers.
