Step1: Choose your Speaker Layout
This is a 5.1-channel system that is the basic surround
system. Front speakers output front stereo sound and a
center speaker outputs center sound such as dialogs and
vocals. Surround speakers create back sound field.
Powered subwoofer reproduces bass sounds and creates
rich sound field. The front speakers should be positioned
at ear height, while the surround speakers should be
positioned just above ear height. Center speaker should
be set up facing the listening position. Place the powered
subwoofer towards the front. Placing it between the center
speaker and a front speaker gives you a natural sound
even when playing music.
0 The front speakers, center speaker, and surround
speakers are counted as 5 channels, and the powered
subwoofer is counted as 0.1 of a channel, giving us the
name 5.1ch system.

This is a system with surround back speakers added to
the basic 5.1-channel system. The connection of surround
back speakers improves the sense of envelopment and
connectivity of sound created by the back sound field and
provides a more real sound field. You can select the Dolby
Atmos listening mode, which realizes the most up-to-date
3D surround sound, when the input format is Dolby
Atmos. With formats other than Dolby Atmos, you can still
create a sound field by outputting sound from the
surround back speakers when you select the Dolby
Surround listening mode. The optimal positioning is for
surround back speakers to be at ear height. Place the
surround speakers in a more slightly forward position than
you would in a 5.1-channel system.
0 If you are including surround back speakers in the
setup, surround speakers are required.

This is a basic 5.1-channel system with the addition of
height speakers, either as front high speakers or rear high
speakers. Select which speakers to setup according to
the environment of the room. You can select the Dolby
Atmos listening mode (5.1.2 channel playback), which
realizes the most up-to-date 3D surround sound including
overhead sounds, when the input format is Dolby Atmos.
With formats other than Dolby Atmos, you can still create
a sound field by outputting sound from the height
speakers when you select the Dolby Surround listening
mode. Front high speakers or rear high speakers should
be situated at least 0.9 m higher than the front speakers.
Front high speakers should be situated directly above the
front speakers and the distance between the rear high
speakers should match the distance between the front
speakers. Both should be set up facing the listening
position.

This is a basic 5.1-channel system using ceiling speakers,
for example, with the addition of height speakers, either
as top front speakers, top middle speakers, or top rear
speakers. Select which speakers to setup according to
the environment of the room. You can select the Dolby
Atmos listening mode (5.1.2 channel playback), which
realizes the most up-to-date 3D surround sound including
overhead sounds, when the input format is Dolby Atmos.
With formats other than Dolby Atmos, you can still create
a sound field by outputting sound from the height
speakers when you select the Dolby Surround listening
mode. Fit top front speakers on the ceiling forward of the
seating position, top middle speakers on the ceiling
directly above the seating position, and top rear speakers
on the ceiling behind the seating position. The distance
between each pair should match the distance between
the two front speakers.
0 Dolby Laboratories recommends placing this type of
height speakers to obtain the best Dolby Atmos effect.

This is a basic 5.1-channel system using Dolby enabled
speakers, with the addition of height speakers, either as
Dolby enabled speakers (front) or Dolby enabled
speakers (surround). Select which speakers to setup
according to the environment of the room.
Dolby enabled speakers are special speakers designed to
face the ceiling so that sound is heard after bouncing off
the ceiling so that sound appears to be coming from
overhead. You can select the Dolby Atmos listening mode
(5.1.2 channel playback), which realizes the most up-todate 3D surround sound including overhead sounds,
when the input format is Dolby Atmos. With formats other
than Dolby Atmos, you can still create a sound field by
outputting sound from the height speakers when you
select the Dolby Surround listening mode. Place them
either above the front speakers or above the surround
speakers. If they are integrated Dolby enabled speakers,
put in place of the front speakers or the surround
speakers.

It is possible to connect front speakers supporting biamping to improve quality of the bass and treble. The
maximum number of channels available with this
connection is 5.1 because Bi-Amping speakers require
one amplifier for the tweeter jacks and one amplifier for
the woofer jacks. The effects and placements for
speakers are the same as the 5.1-channel plan that
doesn't use Bi-Amping speakers.
0 If you connect to speakers supporting Bi-Amping,
speaker output in ZONE (
For Bi-Amping the
