In order to enjoy Super Audio CD 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).
Super Audio CD 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 Super Audio CD multi-channel discs, the music signals
are basically 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
