5.1 Home Theater Audio

The following diagram shows a typical advanced home theater audio six-channel (5.1) speaker installation that requires multichannel inputs on an AV receiver.

This is only a suggested configuration. Your system may be different. Use this configuration for 6.1 and 7.1 AV receivers that upmix the rear speaker(s). Use the 2.1 configuration for 5.1 AV receivers that have only left and right inputs. Refer to your AV receiver product documentation.

AV receiver audio input connectors may be labeled Surround, 5.1 or 6 Channel Inputs, DVD, Ext. In, or Multichannel Inputs.

Both Media Center speaker settings and DVD audio settings must be changed for proper audio setup. Go to “Configuring Audio Output” on page 139 and note your speaker configuration choice for later software setup steps.
