Surround back speakers: Placing
78
configuration that improves sense of
envelopment created by back sound field.
It also improves seamlessness of back
sounds and provides more natural sound
experiences in the sound field.
Height speakers 1 and 2: Placing 9F or
GH speakers produce surround effects on
a height plane.
To enjoy the Dolby Atmos listening
mode, Height 1 speakers or surround
back speakers need to be installed.
Although Height 1 speakers can
enhance surround effects, we
recommend you to add Height 2
speakers in order to ensure full effects.
Install Height speakers such as Front
High and Rear High speakers on the
upper part of the front or rear wall. There
are other types of Height speakers.
Wide speakers: Placing IJ speakers
makes the front sound field even wider. It
also give smoother transitions between
front and back surround sounds.
The power amplifier of this unit is designed for
9 ch configuration. Therefore, 78 speakers
cannot be used together with GH (or IJ)
speakers during playback. When both groups
are connected, you can switch speakers to be
used on the Quick Setup menu that appears
when you press Q Setup on the remote
controller (Speaker Layout function).
For details on the Speaker Layout
function, see the section 4 "Using Quick
Setup menu" of "Step 3: Playing Back".
11 ch playback is possible by connecting
an external power amplifier to this unit.
See the Advanced Manual for information
on how to connect the external amplifier.
Height speakers arrangements
(Dolby Atmos)
There are several types of Height speakers
other than those mentioned in the previous
section. See the next section "Combination
patterns of Height speakers 1 and 2" and select
the combination pattern from those specified for
Height speakers 1 and Height speakers 2.
This unit performs optimal sound field
processing for the type of Height speakers
1 and 2 which is registered in initial
settings (with setup wizard) according to
an actual speaker layout. Note that the
optimal effect cannot be achieved if you
place Height speakers in a combination
pattern other than those specified.
Dolby recommends to place the speakers as
described on "Installing speakers in ceiling"
to obtain the best Dolby Atmos effect.
