Using Front Surround

The Front Surround feature is only possible if you connect a pair of speakers (not supplied) to the surround speaker terminals.

This setup is ideal when rear surround speaker placement isn't possible or you want to avoid running long speaker cables in your listening area. This setup should be used with the Front Surround modes below to take advantage of wall and ceiling reflections for a very realistic surround effect.
