What is surround sound?
With ordinary stereo, sound normally comes only from
speakers in front of the listener. In a concert hall or theater
though, sound reflected from the walls and ceiling reaches
the listener from ail directions. This is what accounts for the
feeling of ambience or spaciousness of a live performance.
Surround sound works to reproduce these effects to pro-
duce fuller, more "live" sound.
NOTE:
if the S-X1A, etc. surround speaker systems {sold separately) are
used they will reproduce normal stereo sound when the SUR-
ROUND switch is not pressed.

to find the one most suited to your tastes. 'a
Placing the speakers so that they are slightly'higher than ear
level contributes to sound quality
