What is AIR SURROUND XTREME ?
Surround speakers
Ordinarily, two front speakers, a center speaker, two surround speakers,
and a subwoofer are necessary for enjoying 5.1 channel surround sound.
• Virtual 7.1 channel
The AIR SURROUND XTREME technology, using only the front left
and right speakers of the center system and subwoofer, enables you to
enjoy a realistic 7.1 channel sound by simulating sound from virtual
speakers at center, surround, and surround backs.
