Getting Started Connections Setup Playback Remote Control Multi-Zone Information Troubleshooting Specifications ENGLISH Other Information About Speaker Installation Surround back speakers Sound positioning directly to the rear can be achieved easily by adding a surround back speaker to a 5.1-channel system. In addition, the acoustic image extending between the sides and the rear is narrowed, thus greatly improving the expression of the surround signals for sounds moving from the sides to the back and from the front to the point directly behind the listening position.
