SACD vs DVD-A speaker set-up geometry

Is the layout geometry for DVA-A playback the same as SACD?

I am familiar with the industry standard layout specification for SACD speaker 5-same placement.

Is it the same for DVD-A surround? Or does that prescribe to say, a typical home theater (bipolar speaker) type location, or it's own specification.

For music, the geometry is the same and direct-radiators are recommended. Bipole/dipole surround speakers are a hold-over from the DVD/cinema/Dolby recommendations.

Kr4 is correct as to what is recommended. However, few people can arrange their rooms exactly as specified. Also, bipole/dipole speakers work fine. As always, speaker type and placement makes a difference, but IMHO there is no hard and fast "right answer".
