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.
