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 become unclear unless set to
"SIDE/La"
or "SIDE/HI".
Nevertheless, each listening environment has many
variables, such as wall reflections, and you may
obtain better results using "BEHD/HI" ifyour
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
contrary to the above explanation, we recommend
that you play back 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 surround 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 parameterand speaker level
adjustments to obtain proper balance.
