Sony STR-DA9000ES Operating Instructions Manual page 44

Therefore, although it may result in a setting contrary
to the above explanation, we recommend that you
playback multi channel surround encoded software and
select the setting that provides a good sense of
spaciousness and that best succeeds in forming a
cohesive space between the surround sound from the
surround speakers and the sound of the front speakers.
If you are not sure which sounds best, select "BEHD"
and then use the speaker distance parameter and
speaker level adjustments to obtain proper balance.
