Uses 3D sound imaging to create an array of virtual rear speaker positions higher than the listener from a single pair of actual rear speakers. This mode creates 5 sets of virtual speakers surrounding the listener at approximately a 30˚ angle of elevation. The effect differs according to the setting of the rear speaker position (page 62).
