To construct an effective digital surround system, you need amplifier(s)

Layout for system lacking subwoofer, center speaker, or
surround speakers
To get the highest-quality surround sound from the ED-301, you need a
complete speaker system as shown above. Even so, you can enjoy
quality surround sound by setting the ED-301 to properly distribute the
sound originally intended for these non-existing speakers to existing
front and surround speakers, even if your system lacks the subwoofer,
center speaker, or surround speakers.
