 reproduces bass sounds and creates rich sound field.

Connecting 78 speakers, 9F, or GH speakers enables 

playback in 7.1 ch configuration. 78 (back) speakers 

improve sense of envelopment created by back sound 

field as well as seamlessness of back sounds, providing 

more natural sound experiences in the sound field. 9F 

and GH (height) speakers produce surround effects on a 

height plane. Note that this unit can perform optimal sound 

field processing for the type of height speakers actually 

installed and registered in automatic speaker settings.

Ceiling speakers, etc. are used for maximizing effects in 

Dolby Atmos or Dolby Surround listening mode. Install 

Top Front speakers so that they are positioned at a point 

between directly above the listening position and directly 

above the front speakers. Install Top Middle speakers so 

they are directly above the listening position. Install Top 

Rear speakers so they are positioned at a point between 

directly above the listening position and directly above 

the back speakers. You can select ab, cd, or ef on 

the unit. For connection with the unit, use the SPEAKERS 

BACK/HEIGHT terminals.

 

● Dolby Laboratories recommends placing the speakers 

as described in "Installing speakers in ceiling" to obtain 

the best Dolby Atmos effect.

● To enjoy the Dolby Atmos listening mode, height speakers or back speakers need to be installed. There are a variety of 

height speakers apart from this type. see the next section for details.

Important:

Connect speakers with 6 Ω to 16 Ω impedance. Using a speaker with less impedance than the supported value may result in 

failure.
