n Speaker positioning for Super Audio CD multi-

In order to enjoy Super Audio CD multi-channel sound with 

the best possible acoustics, it is recommended to position 

speakers as specified in ITU-R BS.775-1 of the International

Telecommunication Union (ITU). Super Audio CD multi-

channel discs are recorded and mixed so as to achieve the 

optimum effect with a speaker system laid out as specified 

in ITU-R BS.775-1.

• With Super Audio CD multi-channel discs, the music 

signals are basically recorded using 5 channels (3 – 6 

channels sometimes), but in some cases, LFE (for 

subwoofer) is recorded as a sixth channel. 

• Each disc indicates how many channels have been 

recorded on it.

• The basic layout is 3 speakers in the front and 2 in the 

back since multi-channel discs usually have 5 channels. 

The 2 front, 1 center and 2 surround (rear) speakers 

should be set in a circle around the listening point. If using 

speakers of differing sizes, adjust volume balance from 

the amplifier.

• The location of the subwoofer in the figure is just for 

explanatory purposes. It can be located anywhere in the 

room. For connection and positioning instructions, see the 

owner’s manual  that came with the subwoofer.
