Installation procedure
This unit can be used in a number of ways, depending on
the layout of the speakers you are installing, and the
connections made to external devices. Read the following
to help make the installation process smoother.
Step1: Speaker Layout
Select the speaker layout that suits the types of speakers
you have and the conditions they will be used in from the
choices presented on pages P8 to P12, then install the
speakers by referring to the illustrations and explanations
on the relevant page. Speaker layouts include systems that
use surround back speakers, systems that use height
speakers, and systems that use Bi-Amping speakers. Also
refer to the combinations available in "Speaker
combinations" on P13.
Step2: Connect the Speakers
To connect the speaker systems to this unit, refer to P14 if
you are using a speaker layout described on one of P8 to
P11, and to P15 to use a speaker layout using Bi-Amping
speakers described on P12. The connection process will be
smoother if you refer to the illustrations and explanations
and prepare the required cables before hand.
Step3: Connect the TV & AV Components
Refer to P16 to P21 to connect your external devices such
as your TV, Blu-ray Disc Player, and also supplied
accessories such as the antennas. Also, P20 introduces
the Multi-zone Connection option that allows you to play
audio into rooms other than the main room. The connection
process will be smoother if you refer to the illustrations and
explanations, confirm the connection types on the external
devices, and prepare the required cables before hand.

Step1: Speaker Layout
7.1 Channel System
Front speakers output front stereo sound and a center
speaker outputs center sound such as dialogs and vocals.
Surround speakers create back sound field. Powered
subwoofer reproduces bass sounds and creates rich sound
field.
This basic 5.1 Channel System with surround back
speakers added is called a 7.1 Channel System. The
connection of surround back speakers improves the sense
of envelopment and connectivity of sound created by the
back sound field and provides a more real sound field.
Furthermore, by installing surround back speakers, you can
select the Dolby Atmos listening mode, which realizes the
most up-to-date 3D sound, when the input format is Dolby
Atmos.
The front speakers should be positioned at ear height, while
the surround speakers should be positioned just above ear
height. Center speaker should be set up facing the listening
position. Placing the powered subwoofer between the
center speaker and a front speaker gives you a natural
sound even when playing music. The optimal positioning is
for surround back speakers to be at ear height.
0If you are including surround back speakers in the setup,
surround speakers are required.

examples of speaker combinations.

5.1.2 Channel System-1
(Front High Speakers/Rear High Speakers)
This is a basic 5.1 channel system consisting of front
speakers, a center speaker, surround speakers, and a
powered subwoofer, with the addition of front height
speakers or rear high speakers, which are both types of
height speakers. By installing height speakers, you can
select the Dolby Atmos listening mode, which realizes the
most up-to-date 3D sound including overhead sounds,
when the input format is Dolby Atmos. Front high speakers
or rear high speakers should be situated at least 3´/0.9 m
higher than the front speakers. Front high speakers should
be situated directly above the front speakers and the
distance between the rear high speakers should match the
distance between the front speakers. Both should be set up
facing the listening position.

5.1.2 Channel System-2
(Ceiling Speakers)
This is a basic 5.1 channel system consisting of front
speakers, a center speaker, surround speakers, and a
powered subwoofer, with the addition of top front speakers,
top middle speakers, or top rear speakers, which are types
of height speakers. By installing height speakers, you can
select the Dolby Atmos listening mode, which realizes the
most up-to-date 3D sound including overhead sounds,
when the input format is Dolby Atmos. Fit top front speakers
on the ceiling forward of the seating position, top middle
speakers on the ceiling directly above the seating position,
and top rear speakers on the ceiling behind the seating
position. The distance between each pair should match the
distance between the two front speakers.
0Dolby Laboratories recommends placing this type of
height speakers to obtain the best Dolby Atmos effect.
