• Front surround setup – This setup is ideal
when rear surround speaker placement
isn't possible or you want to avoid running
long speaker cables in your listening area.
Use this setup together with the Front
Surround modes to take advantage of wall
and ceiling reflections for a very realistic
surround effect.
