• Consult the owner's manual for your subwoofer for
advice on placing the subwoofer within the listening
room.
• If the surround speakers are direct-radiating
(monopolar) then place them slightly behind and at
120°
an angle to the listening position and parallel to the
walls at a position 60 to 90 cm above ear level at

Surround
The AVR-1905 is equipped with a digital signal processing circuit that lets you play program sources in the
surround mode to achieve the same sense of presence as in a movie theater.
Dolby Surround
(1) Dolby Digital
Dolby Digital is the multi-channel digital signal format developed by Dolby Laboratories.
Dolby Digital consists of up to "5.1" channels - front left, front right, center, surround left, surround right, and
an additional channel exclusively reserved for additional deep bass sound effects (the Low Frequency Effects
– LFE – channel, also called the ".1" channel, containing bass frequencies of up to 120 Hz).
Unlike the analog Dolby Pro Logic format, Dolby Digital's main channels can all contain full range sound
information, from the lowest bass, up to the highest frequencies – 22 kHz. The signals within each channel
are distinct from the others, allowing pinpoint sound imaging, and Dolby Digital offers tremendous dynamic
range from the most powerful sound effects to the quietest, softest sounds, free from noise and distortion.

1 Please use a commercially available adapter when connecting the Dolby Digital RF output jack of the
LD player to the digital input jack.
Please refer to the instruction manual of the adapter when making connection.
2 Some DVD digital outputs have the function of switching the Dolby Digital signal output method
between "bit stream" and "(convert to) PCM". When playing in Dolby Digital surround on the AVR-
1905, switch the DVD player's output mode to "bit stream". In some cases players are equipped with
both "bit stream + PCM" and "PCM only" digital outputs. In this case connect the "bit stream + PCM"
jacks to the AVR-1905.

(2) Dolby Pro Logic x
II
• Dolby Pro Logic x furthers the matrix decoding technology of Dolby Pro Logic
recorded on two channels into up to 7.1 playback channels, including the surround back channel. Dolby Pro
Logic II x also allows 5.1-channel sources to be played in up to 7.1 channels.
The mode can be selected according to the source. The Music mode is best suited for playing music, the
Cinema mode for playing movies, and the Game mode for playing games. The Game mode can only be
used with 2-channel audio sources.
