5.1 Home Theater Audio

The following diagram shows a typical advanced home
theater audio six-channel (5.1) speaker installation that
requires multichannel inputs on an AV receiver.
This is only a suggested configuration. Your system may
be different. Use this configuration for 6.1 and 7.1 AV
receivers that upmix the rear speaker(s). Use the 2.1
configuration for 5.1 AV receivers that have only left and
right inputs. Refer to your AV receiver product
documentation.
AV receiver audio input connectors may be labeled
Surround, 5.1 or 6 Channel Inputs, DVD, Ext. In, or
Multichannel Inputs.
