You can enjoy multi-channel surround sound by changing the beam mode using the beam mode buttons on the remote
control. Select 5 Beam, Stereo plus 3 Beam, 3 Beam, or My Surround for multi-channel playback.
• When ANGLE TO WALL OR CORNER is set in MANUAL SETUP (see page 58), 5 Beam and 3 Beam cannot be selected.
• To enjoy 5 Beam, Stereo plus 3 Beam, or 3 Beam as the beam mode, you must perform AUTO SETUP or MANUAL SETUP so that
the parameters best match your listening environment.

Press one of the beam mode buttons
(5BEAM, ST+3BEAM, 3BEAM, or MY SUR.) to
select the desired beam mode for 5.1-
channel play back.
Outputs sound beams from the front left, front right,
center, surround left, and surround right channels. This
mode is ideal for enjoying surround sound effects to the
fullest when you watch DVDs recorded in a multi-channel
format or play back 2-channel sources in a multi-channel
format.
Press 5BEAM to select 5 Beam.
• To achieve the best surround sound effect, make sure that there
are no obstacles placed in the path of sound beams in that the
objects may prevent the sound beams from rebounding directly
off the walls in your listening room.
• The front left and right sound beams are output toward the walls
in your listening room.
• “SP Pos. Corner!” appears in the front panel display if
INSTALLED POSITION is set to ANGLE TO WALL OR
CORNER (see page 58).
