Understanding front high and surround high - Blu-ray Forum

shayneca · 02-12-2013, 07:02 PM

Hi I have a question about how this front high and surround high works, my room has a nine speaker configuration four of which is in the ceiling.

So here goes the question I am looking to buy a receiver but it is not in the budget for a 9.1 receiver so was shooting for a 7.1 one. Do the pro logic iiz setting will allow me to use all these speakers,do that setting alternate between front high and surround back or high and any suggestions on a receiver. Any help I will appreciate.

Also I have a spare myths 3 that I was planning on putting center of my rear wall for a 6.1 setting.

Receivers such as the onkyo 818 are 7.2 channel, with you being able to choose between FH+SB, FW+SB or FH+FW. It is expandable with an additional amplifier to 9.2 if that is something in the future.

Thank you for the replies it helps, any other receivers with the same features as the onkyo 818 would y'all recommend like in the pioneer or denon?
