simply by choosing one of the five available surround
modes:

effects from video software encoded with Dolby
Surround.
C.STUDIO surround mode
Creates a theater-like environment in your living room
by adding the acoustic reflections of a theater to
decoded Dolby Surround signals.

Ideal for soft, acoustic sounds, or for giving an extra
punch to debates and press conferences.
STADIUM surround mode

air stadium. Ideal for maximum enjoyment of
broadcasts of sporting events like football.
