Figure 14– Speaker Positions and abbreviations
Figure 15– Auro-3D layout example
The above example is a combination of 5.1 channel
speakers with Front Height/Surround Height/Center
Height/Top Surround speakers.
For the best Auro-3D experience Surround Height
speakers are recommended, however you may
substitute Rear Height speakers from a Dolby
Atmos speaker setup in place of Surround Height
speakers.
You will need at least Front Heights for Auro-3D to
be an option.
Speaker Configuration
Setup Menu>Speakers>Manual Setup>Speaker
Config
Here is where you tell the MX123 what type of
speakers are connected. The available speaker
categories are based on the settings in Amp Assign
(See “Speakers- Setup Menu” on page 15).
Speakers are defined as Large or Small (or None). A
Large Speaker is a full-range speaker. (Technically,
a speaker able to reproduce bass frequencies down
to 35Hz within -3dB of the midrange frequencies.)
If it is not Large, then it is Small. If it doesn’t exist,
choose None.
