SOUND FIELD PROGRAM SPEAKER LAYOUTS
Sound output from each speaker depends on the type of audio signals being input. Refer to the following diagrams in the table below to understand the speaker layout for each sound field program.
Note
Be advised that there may be no or not enough sound output from speakers depending on the type of input source being played back. Furthermore, there may be some channels that can only be used partially when they are adjusted to specific aspects of movies, such as special sound effects, etc.
The abbreviations and symbols used in each diagram are as follows:
