Using the built-in center speakers to enjoy
surround sound without the external center

The SAVA-29 provides a center speaker in each of the
front speakers, enabling you to enjoy Dolby Pro Logic
Surround and Dolby Digital (AC-3) sound without the
external center speaker.
The left and right front speakers are equipped with
center channel tweeters (see below) angled at 30° to
reproduce high-frequency center channel sounds.
Low-frequency center channel sounds are mixed with
the front channel signals and reproduced through the
left and right front full range units.
