7.1 Home Theater Audio

The following diagram shows a typical advanced home
theater audio eight-channel (7.1) speaker installation that
requires multichannel inputs on an AV receiver.
This is only a suggested configuration. Your system may
be different. If your AV receiver supports 7.1 and has
only 5.1 inputs, see "5.1 Home Theater Audio" on
page 44.
n
Some AV receivers can generate (upmix) the
7.1 audio with 5.1 channels. Refer to your AV
receiver product documentation.
