Simulated surround modes allowvarious types of surround effects to be produced by mimicking both the direct sound, as heard by
the audience, and the sound reflected back from the surrounding walls e.g. ceiling and floor space in a space such as a disco. There
are three different effects to choose from, each reflecting a different atmosphere:
