Introduction
THX system (Layout A)
If your primary interest is cinema, you can use a mono
subwoofer to enhance the bass performance for both cinema
and music presets.
This is the configuration recommended by Dolby and THX for
use with Pro Logic, and is a good choice if you want to enhance
the bass from the main left and right speakers, or your room is
large.
Seven-channel surround system
(Layout G, 4 Surrounds)
The digital surround processor allows you to add side surround
speakers, to enhance the effect of the rear surrounds in home
cinema reproduction. This gives a more realistic portrayal of
special effects, such as a plane flying overhead from front to
back.
For music reproduction, and in particular music using Ambisonic
encoding, the side surrounds allow an even more faithful
recreation of the original sound field.
The side surround speakers should be positioned on the side
walls level with the listening position.
If your main speakers have a limited bass response you can
benefit from a mono subwoofer (Layout A, 4 Surrounds).
