Step1: Choose your Speaker Layout

For 5.1-Channel System

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.

For 7.1-Channel System (with Surround Back Speakers)

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.

For 7.1-Channel System (with Height Speakers-A)

Front High or Rear High speakers

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.

Ceiling speakers

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.

Dolby enabled speakers

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.

For Bi-Amping the 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.
