A Dolby Enabled Speaker is specially designed to be used
as a height speaker. There are two types of Dolby Enabled
Speakers; one type is designed to be placed on top of other
speakers such as front speakers and surround speakers,
and the other type is designed to be integrated with normal
speakers. Dolby Enabled Speakers placed with their
diaphragms facing toward the ceiling create higher effect
in the Dolby Atmos and Dolby Surround listening modes
by providing sounds echoing off the ceiling. You can select
gh or ij on the unit. For connection with the unit, use
the SPEAKERS BACK/HEIGHT terminals.
When playing Dolby Atmos, the speakers required depend
on how you have setup your back speakers or height
speakers. The following shows combinations of speakers.
