Tip
Surround speaker position is designed specilic:dly
li)r implemm/tation of the Cinema Studio EX modes.
For other sound fields, speaker position is not so
critical.
Those sound fields were designed under the promise
that the surround speakers would be located behind
the listening position, but presentation rmnains lairly
consistent even with the surround speakers
positkmed at a rather wide angle. However. if the
speakers are pointing toward the listmmr from the
immediate left and right of the listening position, the
surround effects become unclear unless set to
"SIDE/LO" or "SIDE/HI".
Nevertheless. each listening environment has many
variahles, such as wall reflections, and you may
obtain better results using "BEHD/HI" if your
speakers are located high above the listening
position, even if they are located to the immediate
left and right.
Therelkwe. although it may result in a setting
contrary to the above explanation, we recommeud
that you playback multi chamml surround encoded
software and select the setting that provides a good
sense of spaciousness aud that best succeeds in
forming a cohesive space between the surround
sound from the surround speakers and the sound of
the l?'ont speakers. If you are not sure which sounds
best. select "BEHD/LO" or "BEHD/HI" and then
use the speaker distance parameter and speaker level
a_{justmeuts to obtain proper bahmce.
