Tip

Surround speaker position is designed specifically for implementation of the Cinema Studio EX modes. For other sound fields, speaker position is not so critical. Those sound fields were designed under the premise that the surround speakers would be located behind the listening position, but presentation remains fairly consistent even with the surround speakers positioned at a rather wide angle. However, if the speakers are pointing toward the listener from the immediate left and right of the listening position, the surround effects becomes unclear unless set to “SIDE”. Nevertheless, each listening environment has many variables, like wall reflections, and you may obtain better results using “BEHD” if your speakers are located high above the listening position, even if they are to the immediate left and right.
