SPECIFY THE SPEAKER LAYOUT

In this chapter we assume that a specific set of speakers have already been defined and installed in a
room. In order to support multiple surround and 3D formats, we recommend relying on the expertise
of a Certified JBL Synthesis Installer. They can design a speaker configuration that meets your
requirements, and can also recommend optimal speaker placements according to your room's
dimensions and acoustics.
For additional information about the Dolby, DTS and Auro-3D recommendations, please see the
Appendix of this document and the related documents from Dolby, DTS and Auro.
8.1 OVERVIEW
PROCEDURE

If necessary, Add or Remove speakers until your specific layout is defined;
