6.1-CHANNEL SYSTEMS
A 6.1-channel system can be thought of as a 5.1-channel system with the addition of a rear center speaker placed midway between the two surround speakers, and further to the rear than the surrounds. It should be placed at the same height as the side surround speakers (see Figure 5).
7.1-CHANNEL SYSTEMS
In a 7.1-channel system, two speakers are added for rear fill, in addition to the surround speakers in a 5.1-channel system. The two additional speakers are placed on the rear wall or near the rear wall in the ceiling (see Figure 6).
