(Surround speaker position)
Lets you specify the location of your surround speakers
for proper implementation of the surround effects in
the Cinema Studio EX modes (page 24).
B \ B
Nevertheless, each listening environment has many
variables, such as wall reflections, and you may obtain
better results using “BEHD/HI” ifyour speakers are
located high above the listening position, even if they
are to the immediate le^ and right.
Therefore, although it may result in a setting contrary
to the above explanation, we recommend that you
playback multi channel surround encoded so^ware and
select the setting that provides a good sense of
spaciousness and that best succeeds in forming a
cohesive space between the surround sound from the
surround speakers and the sound of the front speakers.
If you are not sure which sounds best, select “BEHD/
EO” or “BEHD/HI” and then use the speaker distance
parameter and speaker level adjustments to obtain
proper balance.

Tip
Surround speaker position is designed specifically for
implementation of the Cinema Studio EX modes.
For other sound fields, speaker position is not so
critical. Those sound fields were designed under the
premise that the surround speakers would be located
behind the listening position, but presentation remains
fairly consistent even with the surround speakers
positioned at a rather wide angle. However, ifthe
speakers are pointing toward the listener from the
immediate left and right of the listening position, the
surround effects becomes unclear unless set to
“SIDE/EO” or “SIDE/HI”.
