Setting the Up Mix function

In a 7.1-channel surround system with
surround speakers placed directly at the sides
of the listening position, the surround sound
of 5.1-channel sources is heard from the side.
The Up Mix function mixes the sound of the
surround speakers with the surround back
speakers so that the surround sound is heard
from diagonally to the rear as it should be.
• Using the Up Mix function is effective
when the speakers in the 7.1-channel
surround system are set up as
recommended in the example on page 23.
• Depending on the positions of the
speakers and the sound source, in some
cases it may not be possible to achieve
good results. In this case, set the setting to
OFF.
