Sony STR-DB2000 - Manual (Page 16)

16 GB
Connect your speakers to the receiver. This receiver allows you to use a 7.1 channel system (STR-
DA2000ES) or 6.1 channel (STR-DB2000).
To fully enjoy theater-like multi channel surround sound requires five speakers (two front speakers, a
center speaker, and two surround speakers) and a sub woofer (5.1 channel).
You can enjoy high fidelity reproduction of DVD software recorded in the Surround EX format if you
connect one additional surround back speaker (6.1 channel) or two surround back speakers (7.1
channel, STR-DA2000ES only) (see “Selecting the surround back decoding mode” on page 35).
Example of 7.1 channel speaker system configuration
Tips
• When you connect 6.1 channel speaker system, place the surround back speaker behind the listening position.
• Since the sub woofer does not emit highly directional signals, you can place it wherever you want.
