SPEAKER SYSTEM CONFIGURATIONS

5-speaker configuration –standard 5.1 channel–

This configuration does not express the height of the sound field as well as the 7- or 8-speaker configuration. However, it positions the dialogue sound as coming directly from the screen.

For this speaker configuration, change SET MENU item “1F FRONT EFCT SP” to “NONE” and “1D REAR CT SP” to “NONE”.
