You can enjoy high fidelity reproduction of 
DVD software recorded sound in the Surround 
EX format if you connect one additional 
surround back speaker (6.1 channel system) or 
two surround back speakers (7.1 channel 
system.)

Example of a 7.1 channel 
speaker system configuration

Tips

• The angle 

A

 should be the same.

• When you connect a 6.1 channel speaker system, 

place the surround back speaker behind the 
listening position.

• Since the subwoofer does not emit highly 

directional signals, you can place it wherever you 
want.
