Connect to the HEIGHT4/FRONT WIDE RCA connectors or HEIGHT4/FRONT WIDE XLR connectors to use Front Wide speakers. Set “Floor” - “Layout” in the menu to “5ch & FW” or “5ch & SB & FW”.

This combination can be selected when using Surround Back speakers.

For the best Auro-3D experience Surround Height speakers are recommended, however you may substitute Rear Height speakers from a Dolby Atmos speaker setup in place of Surround Height speakers.

Use 2 sets of Height speakers in the appropriate sound modes for Dolby Atmos, DTS:X or Auro-3D playback.
Use the Front Height and Rear Height speakers for Dolby Atmos or DTS:X playback.
Use the Front Height and Surround Height speakers for Auro-3D playback.

This combination can be selected when “Floor” - “Layout” in the menu to “5ch” or “5ch & SB”. link
