5.1.2-channel system (using presence speakers)

This speaker system uses the presence speakers to produce a natural 3-dimensional

sound field, and also creates Virtual Surround Back Speaker (VSBS) using the

surround speakers to add a sense of depth to the rear sound field. This system is

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

the unit and place them on the left/right (or front/rear)

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” (p.21).

▪ 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.
