* About S-Force PRO Front Surround
Sony’s long-term involvement in surround technology (and the
vast amounts of acoustic data accumulated as a result) has led
to the development of all-new processing method and
advanced DSP to handle this task effectively, which we call S-
Force PRO Front Surround. Compared with previous front
surround technologies, S-Force PRO Front Surround
reproduces a more convincing sense of distance and space,
resulting in a true surround sound experience without the need
for rear speakers.

default AUTO setting is FRONT SURROUND.
