Speaker System Configurations
The most complete speaker configuration consists of eight speakers: the left and right Main speakers, a Center speaker, the left and right Rear
speakers, the left and right Front Effect speakers, and a Rear Center speaker. If you do not use eight speakers, you can direct the signals for
speakers that are not in your system to other speakers in your configuration. A Subwoofer can be used with any of these configurations to
produce a fuller sound.
■ Eight or Seven Speaker Configuration
–Full Cinema DSP–
When you reproduce feature film software, this configuration fully expresses the
powerful and realistic sound qualities of 70 mm multitrack audio. The dialogue is
positioned as if it were coming from directly on the screen, the sound effect is
positioned slightly behind the screen, and the soundtrack music is positioned even
further behind the screen to express the width and depth of the overall presentation.
This configuration makes the most of this unit’s capability.
The Rear Center speaker is useful for playback of 6-channel Digital Surround.
■ Six Speaker Configuration –Hi Fi DSP–
This configuration is used the most for audio playback with HiFi DSP. It does not
position the dialogue sound as well as a seven or eight speaker configuration.
However, it creates a dynamic DSP (Digital Sound Field Processor) sound field
which adds depth to the sound.
For this speaker configuration, change SET MENU item 1A. CENTER SP to
“NONE” and 1D. REAR CT SP to “NONE”.
■ Five Speaker Configuration –Standard 5.1 Channel–
This configuration does not express the height of the sound field as well as the
seven or eight speaker configuration. However, it positions the dialogue sound as
coming directly from the screen.
For this speaker configuration, change SET MENU item 1F. FRNT EFCT SP to
“NONE” and 1D. REAR CT SP to “NONE”.
■ Four Speaker Configuration
–Minimum Requirement–
In this configuration, the Center speaker signals and Front Effect speaker signals
are directed to the left and right Main speakers.
For this speaker configuration, change SET MENU item 1A. CENTER SP to
“NONE,” item 1F. FRNT EFCT SP to “NONE,” and item 1D. REAR CT SP to
“NONE”.
