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”.

Advanced

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.

Adjustments

Therefore, although it may result in a setting contrary

 

to the above explanation, we recommend that you

 

playback multi channel surround encoded software and

 

select the setting that provides a good sense of

 

spaciousness and that best succeeds in forming a

 

cohesive space between the surround sound from the

and

surround speakers and the sound of the front speakers.

 

If you are not sure which sounds best, select “BEHD”

Settings

and then use the speaker distance parameter and

 

speaker level adjustments to obtain proper balance.
