setup options available. You can select any of
the listening modes regardless of speaker

effect by using the listening modes in
conjunction with your speaker setup:
Standard surround 5-spot setup
– Use
the Standard (

listening modes with this setup.

– See
Using
Front Surround
on page 12 for the options
available with this speaker setup.

on
page 6. For more setup options, see

on page 21.
