This is a basic 5.1 Channel System. Front speakers output the front stereo sound, and a center speaker outputs the sound of the center of the screen, such as dialogs and vocals. Surround speakers create the back sound field. Powered subwoofer reproduces the bass sound, and creates the rich sound field.

The front speakers should be positioned at ear height while the surround speakers should be positioned just above ear height. The center speaker should be set up facing the listening position at an angle. Placing the powered subwoofer between the center speaker and the front speaker gives you a natural sound even when playing music sources.

( p14) and added surround back speakers. Front speakers output the

front stereo sound, and a center speaker outputs the sound of the center of the screen, such as dialogs and vocals. Surround speakers create the back sound field. Powered subwoofer reproduces the bass sound, and creates the rich sound field. Surround back speakers improves the sense of envelopment and connectivity of sound in the back sound field, and provides a more real sound field. Furthermore, by installing surround back speakers, when the input format is Dolby Atmos, you can select the Dolby Atmos listening mode which realizes the most up-to-date 3D sound,

The front speakers should be positioned at ear height while the surround speakers should be positioned just above ear height. The center speaker should be set up facing the listening position at an angle. Placing the powered subwoofer between the center speaker and the front speaker gives you a natural sound even when playing music sources. The surround back speakers should be positioned at ear height.

If surround back speakers are installed, be sure to install surround speakers as well.

This is a system with the basic 5.1 channel system ( p14) consisting of front speakers, a center speaker, surround speakers and a powered subwoofer, and added front high speakers or rear high speakers combined. By installing such height speakers, when the input format is Dolby Atmos, you can select the Dolby Atmos listening mode which realizes the most up-to-date 3D sound including overhead sound. Front high speakers or rear high speakers should be installed at least 3´/0.9 m higher than the front speakers.

Front high speakers should be installed directly above the front speakers, and the distance between the rear high speakers should match the distance between the front speakers. In both cases, the speakers should be set up facing the listening position at an angle.

By installing such height speakers, when the input format is Dolby Atmos, you can select the Dolby Atmos listening mode which realizes the most up-to-date

3D sound including overhead sound. Install the top front speakers on the ceiling anterior to the seating position, top middle speakers on the ceiling directly above the seating position, and top rear speakers on the ceiling posterior to the seating position. The distance between each pair should match the distance between the front speakers.

Dolby Laboratories recommends the setups of these types of height speakers to obtain the best Dolby Atmos effect.

Connections

(Note) Speaker Impedance

Connect speakers with an impedance of 4 Ω to 16 Ω. If any of the speakers to be connected has an impedance of 4 Ω or more and 6 Ω or less, the setting is required in the System Setup menu after the Initial Setup ( p115) is completed. Press on the remote controller, and in the Home displayed set

"System Setup" - "Speaker" -"Configuration" - "Speaker Impedance" to "4ohms".

Connect the Speaker Cables

Make correct connection between the unit's jacks and speaker's jacks (+ side to + side, and - side to - side) for each channel. If the connection is wrong, a bass sound will not be reproduced properly due to reverse phase. Twist the wires exposed from the tip of the speaker cable so that the wires do not stick out of the speaker terminal when connecting. If the exposed wires touch the rear panel, or the + side and – side wires touch each other, the protection circuit will be activated.

The ARC function transmits the audio signals of the TV via an HDMI cable, and plays the audio of the TV on this unit. To check if the TV supports the ARC function, refer to the instruction manual of the TV, etc.

Does your TV support the ARC function?
