5.1.2-channel system (using presence speakers)
This speaker system uses the presence speakers to produce a natural 3-dimensional
sound field, and also creates Virtual Surround Back Speaker (VSBS) using the
surround speakers to add a sense of depth to the rear sound field. This system is
suited for enjoying not only 5.1-channel but also for 7.1-channel contents.

Produces LFE (low-frequency effect) channel sounds and
reinforces the bass parts of other channels. This channel
is counted as “0.1”. You can connect two subwoofers to
the unit and place them on the left/right (or front/rear)
sides of the room.
Note
▪ “5.1.2-channel” denotes “standard 5.1-channel plus 2 for overhead speaker channels”. For details on how
to place overhead speakers (presence speakers), see “Presence speaker layout” (p.19).
▪ To have a full effect of Dolby Atmos contents, we recommend using this speaker system. However, you
can also play back Dolby Atmos contents with the 7.1 system (using surround back speakers).
▪ To have a full effect of DTS:X contents, we recommend using this speaker system.
▪ You can connect two subwoofers (with built-in amplifier) to the unit. Two subwoofers connected to the unit
output the same sounds.
▪ When using only one subwoofer, you can place it either in the left or right side.
