2. Set the EMBRACE mode switch to BIPOLE or DIPOLE:
• The dipole position should be used for the greatest freedom
from "localization" and is appropriate for all film sound,
since it is always mixed using non-localized surrounds. Most
acoustic recordings, including classical, are mixed utilizing
the surrounds for a natural ambiance. The dipole mode is
also best for such recordings.
• The bipole position may be selected for some discrete multi-
channel recordings that feature equal emphasis on the front
and surround (rear) loudspeakers.
