	applied to the sound output by the other speakers, giving pres-	
	ence to even mono material.
Orchestra	Suitable for classical or operatic music, this mode emphasizes
	the surround channels in order to widen the stereo image, and
	simulates the natural reverberation of a large hall.

	being right in front of the stage.

	creates a lively sound field with a powerful acoustic image, like
	being at a club or rock concert.
