Installing the SACD multi-channel
audio speakers
In order to enjoy SACD multi-channel sound with the best
possible acoustics, it is recommended that the speaker
systems be laid out in compliance with the ITU-R BS.775-
1 recommendation which is a standard formulated by
the International Telecommunication Union (ITU).
SACD multi-channel discs are recorded and mixed in such
a way that they will achieve the optimum effects when
the speaker systems are laid out as per the ITU-R BS.775-
1 recommendation.
On SACD multi-channel discs, the music signals are basi-
cally recorded using 5 channels (or 3, 4 or 6 channels in
some cases). In some instances, however, LFE (for the sub
woofer) is recorded as a sixth channel.
Each disc indicates how many channels have been recorded
on it.
The basic settings are 3 speakers for front and 2 for back
since multi-channel discs have basically 5 channels
The 2-front, 1-center, and 2-surround speakers should be
set on the circle from the listening point as shown below.
When you use different sizes of speakers, please adjust the
volume balances.
The location of the sub-woofer in the picture is just an ex-
ample. The Sub-woofer can be located any place in your
room. (See the users manual of your sub-woofer.)
