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.
