Setting the in-ceiling speaker mode

Sony has developed a new special sound mode for CI
installation. This feature will virtually relocate the front and
center in-ceiling speakers down to around the screen. That
way, the customer will hear the actors' voices coming from
the screen instead of the ceiling. This mode also makes
music sound more natural in a room with in-ceiling speakers.
