n Speaker Positioning for Super Audio Multi-
channel Sound
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
instruction manual that came with the subwoofer.
