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 as shown below. If using speakers of differing sizes, adjust volume balance from the amplifier.
