representative speaker layout examples.
•For information on the ideal speaker layout, see “Ideal speaker layout” (p.110).
•If you have seven speakers, use two of them as surround back speakers or presence speakers.
To reinforce the rear right/left sounds, use them as surround back speakers.
To create a natural 3-dimensional sound field, use them as presence speakers.
•Two subwoofers connected to the unit output the same sounds.
