Speaker Placement

I'm sure this is one of the easier questions to answer nevertheless here it goes. I just finished building a home theatre with a 7.1 sound system. Everything works but I was wondering what speakers are not active when a movie is played in 5.1 Is it the ones behind the sitting area or the ones beside the sitting area?

Thanks

Re: Speaker Placement

The side surrounds are for 5.1. Rear surrounds are for 7.1. Most receivers have options to matrix the sound to the rears even for 5.1 material.
