2 ch/2.1 ch

This placement is used with
two speakers (front left and
right speakers). It is
optimum for 2 ch sources
including analog 2 ch, 2 ch
linear PCM, Dolby Digital,
DTS, DTS96/24, and AAC
format sources. When the
number of channels in the
source is 3.1 or greater, the
signals will be distributed

through the left and right channels accordingly.

3 ch/3.1 ch

This placement is used with
three speakers (front left,
front right, and center
speakers). When the number
of channels in the source is
4.1 or greater, the signal for
surround and surround back
channels will be output
through the front left and
right speakers.

4 ch/4.1 ch

In this placement, when the
number of channels in the
source is 5.1 or greater, the
center channel signal will be
output through the front left
and right speakers, and the
surround back channels will
be output through the
surround speakers.

5 ch/5.1 ch

This placement is suitable for
playing 5.1 ch sources
including analog multichannel,
Dolby Digital, DTS, and AAC
format sources. When the
source is 2 ch or mono, the
signal will be decoded with
Dolby Pro Logic II or DTS
NEO:6 format and played as
5.1 ch sources.

When the number of channels in the source is 6.1 or
greater, the surround back signal will be distributed
through the surround left and right speakers
accordingly.

6 ch/6.1 ch/7 ch/7.1 ch (with center speaker)

This placement is suitable for
playing 6.1 ch sources
including DTS-ES Matrix/
Discrete and Dolby Surround
EX format signals.
When you use two surround
back speakers, the same signal
will be output from them
because the surround back
channel is mono. When the
source is 2 ch or mono, it will
be decoded with the Dolby
Pro Logic IIx/DTS NEO:6
format and played as 6.1/7.1
ch sources.

6 ch/6.1 ch/5 ch/5.1 ch (without center speaker)

This placement is suitable for
playing 5.1 or 6.1 ch sources
when the surround back
sound is much more
preferred than the center
sound with less speaker units
than the normal
configuration. The center
channel signal will be output
through the front left and
right speakers.
