Advanced Adjustments and Settings

Tip

“SURR POSI.” (Surround speaker position) is

designed specifically for implementation of the sound

fields 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 “BEHIND” or “MIDDLE” if your

speakers are located high above the listening position,

even if they are to the immediate left and right.

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

surround speakers and the sound of the front

speakers. If you are not sure which sounds best, select

“BEHIND” and then use the speaker distance

parameter and speaker level adjustments to obtain

proper balance.
