Using the Listening Modes
With its built-in surround-sound decoders and DSP pro-
grams, the HT-R820THX can transform your home lis-
tening room into a movie theater or concert hall.
To get the most from surround sound, it's important that
you install and configure your speakers correctly. See
page 19, "Speaker Distance" on page 48 and "Speaker
Levels" on page 49.
