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
sLirrolludeffects
beconle
unclear
uu]ess
set to
"SIDE/LO"
or "SIDE/HI".
Nevertheless. each listening environment
has many
variables, such as wall reflections, and you may
obtain better results using "BEHD/HI" if your
speakers are located high above the listening
position, even if they are located to the immediate
left and right.
Therefore. although it may result in a setting
contra W to the above explanation, we recommend
that you play back multi channel surround encoded
soflware and select the setting that provides a good
sense of spaciousness
and thai best succeeds in
forming a cohesive space between the surround
sound lrom the surrouud speakers and the sound of
the front speakers. If you are not sure which sounds
best. select "BEHD/LO"
or "BEHD/HI" and then
use the speaker distance parameter and speaker level
atliustmeuts to obtain proper balance.
