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.

more set of front speakers to use as a
Speaker B System. In this state, the 7.1-
7 8 Surround Back Speakers Channel System becomes the Speaker A
System and you can switch the same
audio to output from A, B, or A+B. Note
that sound is not output from the surround
back speaker when A+B is selected.
There is no output from Speakers B if
Zone Speaker connection (P17) is used.

(with Height Speaker-A)
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.

(with Height Speaker-B)
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.

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-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

the surround speakers or above the surround back speakers. If they are
integrated Dolby enabled speakers, put in place of the front speakers, the
surround speakers, or the surround back speakers.

For Bi-Amping the Speakers

It is possible to connect front speakers supporting Bi-Amping 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.

that does not have an HDMI jack. Make the connections
to the AV component to match the jacks it has. When
video input connection is to the BD/DVD jack, the audio
input connection should also be to the BD/DVD jacks, and
so on, so that you connect the video input jacks to the
jacks with the same name as the audio input jacks. Note
that video signals input to the VIDEO IN jack or the
COMPONENT VIDEO IN jacks will be upconverted to
HDMI signals and then output from the HDMI OUT jack.
0 To enjoy digital surround playback in formats such as
Dolby Digital, you need to make a connection for audio
signals with a digital coaxial cable or digital optical
cable.
