•Speaker system layout
Basic system layout (For a THX Surround EX system)
•The following is an example of the basic layout for a system consisting of eight speaker systems and a television monitor:
Two surround back speakers are required to use the THX Ultra2 Cinema and THX Music modes.
Set the surround back speakers so that the distance to the listening point is the same for both the left and right speakers. It is also recommended
that the deviations of the distance from the listening position to L and R channel speakers (front left (FL) and front right (FR), surround left (SL)
and surround right (SR), surround back left (SBL) and surround back right (SBR)) is less than 2 ft (60 cm).
With the AVR-4802R it is also possible to use the surround speaker selector function to choose the best layout for a variety of sources and
surround modes.
Subwoofer Center speaker system
Surround speaker systems
Surround back speaker systems
Front speaker systems
Set these at the sides of the TV or screen with
their front surfaces as flush with the front of the
screen as possible.
•Surround speaker selector function
This function makes it possible to achieve the optimum sound fields for different sources by switching between two systems of surround
speakers (A and B). The settings of the different speakers (A only, B only or A+B) are stored in the memory for the different surround modes,
so they are set automatically when the surround mode is selected.
Using A only
(Multi surround speaker system)
Using B only
(Single surround speaker system)
(SB: Surround Back Speakers)
NOTES:
•The on-screen display signals are not output from the MONITOR OUT-2 output jack or the color difference (component) video signal
(MONITOR OUT) jacks.
•The on-screen display signals are output with priority to the S-VIDEO MONITOR OUT jack during playback of a video component. For
example, if the TV monitor is connected to both the AVR-4802R’s S-Video and video monitor output jacks and signals are input to the AVR-
4802R from a video source (VDP, etc.) connected to both the S-Video and video input jacks, the on-screen display signals are output with
priority to the S-Video monitor output. If you wish to output the signals to the video monitor output jack, do not connect a cord to the S-
VIDEO MONITOR OUT jack. (For details, see page 32.)
•The AVR-4802R’s on-screen display function is designed for use with high resolution monitor TVs, so it may be difficult to read small
characters on TVs with small screens or low resolutions.
•The setup menu is not displayed when headphones are being used.
