What is Surround Sound?
With ordinary stereo, sound normally comes only fram speakers
in front of the listener; however, in a concert half or theater,
sound reflected from the walls and ceiling reaches the listener
from all directions. This accounts for the feeling of ambience or
spaciousness of a live performance.
Surround sound works to reproduce these effects to produce
fuller, more "live" sound
STEREO WIDE
When the surround speakers are not connected, the stereo wide
function may be activated. This function enhances the stereo
effect. Note that it does not operate in the case of a monaural
source, however
Speaker System Placement Examples
See Fig {1
The sound effects obtained in a surround system depend on
speaker placement. Experiment with various arrangements to
find the one most suited to your tastes.
Placing the speakers slightly higher than ear level contributes ta
sound quality.
