Sony STR-DA7100ES User Manual

This receiver allows you to use a 9.1 channel 
system (9 speakers and one sub woofer).
Refer to “Quick Setup Guide” supplied with 
this operating instruction for speaker systems 
other than 5.1/7.1/9.1 channel systems.

To fully enjoy theater-like multi channel 
surround sound requires five speakers (two 
front speakers, a center speaker, and two 
surround speakers) and a sub woofer (5.1 
channel).

DVD software recorded sound in the Surround 
EX format if you connect one additional 
surround back speaker (6.1 channel) or two 
surround back speakers (7.1 channel.) (see 
“Using the surround back decoding mode

• When you connect a 6.1 channel speaker system, 

place the surround back speaker behind the 
listening position.

• Since the sub woofer does not emit highly 

directional signals, you can place it wherever you 
want.
