This system is suited for enjoying not only 5.1-channel but also for 7.1-channel contents.

Produce CINEMA DSP effect sounds or heights channel sounds of Dolby Atmos and DTS:X contents.
Produces LFE (low-frequency effect) channel sounds and reinforces the bass parts of other channels. This channel is counted as “0.1”. You can connect two subwoofers to the unit and place them on the left/right (or front/rear) sides of the room.
Note
▪ “5.1.2-channel” denotes “standard 5.1-channel plus 2 for overhead speaker channels”. For details on how
to place overhead speakers (presence speakers), see “Presence speaker layout”
▪ To have a full effect of Dolby Atmos contents, we recommend using this speaker system. However, you
can also play back Dolby Atmos contents with the 7.1 system (using surround back speakers).
▪ To have a full effect of DTS:X contents, we recommend using this speaker system.
▪ You can connect two subwoofers (with built-in amplifier) to the unit. Two subwoofers connected to the unit
output the same sounds.
▪ When using only one subwoofer, you can place it either in the left or right side.

Presence speaker layout

The unit provides three layout patterns for presence speakers (Front Height, Overhead and Dolby Enabled SP). Choose a layout pattern that suits your listening environment.
Note
▪ You can enjoy Dolby Atmos, DTS:X or Cinema DSP 3D with any layout pattern.
▪ When using presence speakers installed to the ceiling or when using the Dolby Enabled speakers as the
presence speakers, configure the “Layout” setting in the “Setup” menu before performing YPAO (p.33).
Front Height
n
Install the presence speakers on the front side wall.
It delivers a natural sound field with excellent linkage of left, right, top and bottom sound spaces, and sound extensity effectively.
Overhead
n
Install the presence speakers to the ceiling above the listening position.
It delivers realistic overhead sound effects and sound field with excellent linkage of front and rear sound spaces effectively.
Dolby Enabled SP
n
Use the Dolby Enabled speakers as the presence speakers.
It utilizes sounds reflected from ceiling and lets you enjoy overhead sounds only from speakers that are placed at the same level as traditional speakers.
Note
Place the Dolby Enabled speakers on top of or near the traditional front speakers. A Dolby Enabled speaker unit may be integrated into a traditional speaker. For details, refer to the instruction manual of the Dolby Enabled speakers.

Connect the unit to a router (access point) with a network cable, or prepare the wireless antenna for establishing a wireless network connection.
You can enjoy Internet radio or music files stored on media servers, such as PCs and Network Attached Storage (NAS), on the unit.

Connecting a network cable

Connect the unit to your router with a commercially-available STP network cable (CAT-5 or higher straight cable).
Note
▪ If you are using a router that supports DHCP, you do not need to configure any network settings for the
unit, as the network parameters (such as the IP address) will be assigned automatically to it. You only need to configure the network settings if your router does not support DHCP or if you want to configure the network parameters manually (p.
99).
▪ You can check whether the network parameters (such as IP address) are properly assigned to the unit in
“Information” (p.99) in the “Setup” menu.
▪ Some security software installed on your PC or the firewall settings of network devices (such as a router)
may block the access of the unit to the network devices or the Internet. In these cases, configure the security software or firewall settings appropriately.
▪ Each server must be connected to the same subnet as the unit.
▪ To use the service via the Internet, broadband connection is strongly recommended.

Preparing a wireless antenna

If you connect the unit wirelessly, erect the wireless antenna.
For information on how to connect the unit to a wireless network, see “Connecting to a network wirelessly”
(p.37).
