Using the front surround modes
The Front Surround modes are effective when you are
using the Front surround 3-spot speaker setup as
described in
Home theater sound setup
on page 30. The
surround speakers should be placed on top of the front
speakers and oriented either towards the walls, or
straight ahead, depending on which mode you are using
(see below).
•
FrontMovie
– The Front Surround Movie mode
emphasizes directionality, giving you a realistic
movie theater-type sound.
•
FrontMusic
– The Front Surround Music mode
provides greater breadth and depth to music
sources, enveloping you with a concert hall-type
sound.
•
ExtraPower
– The Extra Power mode gives additional
energy and depth to a stereo source by using the
surround speakers in addition to the front speakers.
If you have selected
FrontMovie
or
FrontMusic
, you will
achieve best results by turning each surround speaker
about 50º towards the closest wall. With
ExtraPower
,
orient the surround speakers in the same direction as the
front speakers (towards the listening position).
• When turning, you will feel the surround speaker
snap into the correct position. Do not force the
speaker to turn past this point.
Listening in stereo
You can listen to any source—stereo or multichannel,
analog or digital—in stereo. When playing a
multichannel source, stereo sound is created by
downmixing all channels to the front left/right speakers
and the subwoofer.
•
Press SHIFT and SURROUND then use the
/

Listening with headphones

Stereo

Phones Surround
(virtual surround sound
for headphones) modes are available.
When you disconnect them it reverts to the previous
mode.
