Using the Advanced Surround effects
Advanced Surround effects can be used with multichannel or stereo sources for a variety of additional surround sound effects. The 5-spot setup described in should be used with these effects. For more options, see Adjusting the Advanced and Front Surround effect level below.

Using Front Surround

The Front Surround feature is only possible if you connect a pair of speakers (not supplied) to the surround speaker terminals. This setup is ideal when rear surround speaker placement isn't possible or you want to avoid running long speaker cables in your listening area. This setup should be used with the Front Surround modes below to take advantage of wall and ceiling reflections for a very realistic surround effect.

ADVANCED

Press ADVANCED to select an Advanced Surround mode (or press ADVANCED then use the / (cursor up/down) buttons). Press repeatedly to select from: Adv. Movie Gives a movie theater-type sound Adv. Music Gives a concert hall-type sound Expanded Creates an extra wide surround field TV Surr. Designed for mono or stereo TV broadcasts and other sources Sports Designed for sports and other programs based on commentary Game Creates surround sound from video game sources 5ch Stereo Designed to give powerful surround sound to stereo music sources
The surround speakers should be placed on either side of the front speakers and oriented either towards the walls, or straight ahead, depending on which mode you are using (see below). For more options, see Adjusting the Advanced and Front Surround effect level below.

Music, you will achieve best results by turning each surround speaker about 60 towards the closest wall. With ExtraPower, orient the surround speakers in the same direction as the front speakers (towards the listening position).
