SPEAKER SETUP FOR THIS UNIT
SPEAKERS TO BE USED
This unit is designed to provide the best sound-field quality with a fivespeaker configuration. The speakers to be
used with this unit will be front speakers, rear speakers, and a center speaker.
The front speakers are used for the main source sound. These are usually a much larger, high-quality loudspeaker
than you will use for the surround sound effects. The center speaker is used for the center sound (dialog, etc.)
encoded with the Dolby Surround. And the rear speakers are used for special effects that enhance the surround
sound. The rear and center speakers do not need to be equal to the front speakers. However, all the speakers
should have high enough power handling to accept the maximum output of this unit.
