Where it fits
Stereo in.
An ambience path out.
The GP-AMBDEC provides a dedicated analog ambience-decoding role. It works with a stereo line signal and feeds a rear-channel amplifier path.

Rear-channel amplifier
The rear amplifier then drives compatible rear speakers. This is analog ambience extraction; it is not a Dolby or DTS digital surround decoder.

A few useful answers
Make an informed
connection.
Is this the same as digital surround sound?
No. This is analog difference decoding from stereo, rather than decoding a discrete Dolby or DTS surround soundtrack.
Does the decoder power rear speakers?
The proposed connection includes a separate rear-channel amplifier. Match the amplifier and speakers as part of the complete system.
Can I hear the full setup through the browser panel?
The listening panel is an interactive browser illustration. It does not reproduce a physical five-channel listening room.
