sulround/surround back speaker position
parameter is designed specifically for implementation
of the Digital Cinema Sound modes with virtual
elements.
With the Digital Cinema Sound modes, speaker
position is not as critical as other modes. All modes
with virtual elements were designed under the
premise that the surround spenker would he located
behind the listening position, but presentation remains
fairly consistent even with the surround speakers
positioned at a rather wide angle. However, if the
speakers are pointing towards the listener from the
immediate left and right of the listening position, the
sound fields with virtual elements will not bc
effective unless the surround speaker position
parameter is set to “SIDE”.
Nevertheless, each listening environment has many
variables, like wall reflections, and you may obtain
better results using
“BEHIND” or “MIDDLE” if your
speakers
are located high above the listening position,
even ii’ they are to the immediate left and right.
Therefore, although it may result in a setting contrary
to the “Surround speaker position” explanation, we
recommend that you playback multi chzumel surround
encoded software and listen to the effect each setting
has on your listening environment. Choose 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 “BEHIND” and then use
the speaker dislance parameter and speaker level
adjustments to obtain proper balance.
