Setting the Up Mix function
In a 7.1-channel surround system with surround
speakers placed directly at the sides of the listening
position, the surround sound of 5.1-channel sources is
heard from the side. The Up Mix function mixes the
sound of the surround speakers with the surround back
speakers so that the surround sound is heard from
diagonally to the rear as it should be.

to achieve good results. In this case, set the setting to
