BEHD LO Select if the location of your surround speakers corresponds to sections and BEHD HI Select if the location of your surround speakers corresponds to sections and 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 if the speakers are pointing toward the listener from the immediate left and right of the listening position the surround effects become unclear unless set to SIDE LO or SIDE HI Nevertheless each listening environment has many variables such as wall reflections and you may obtain better results using BEHD HI if your speakers are located high above the listening position even if they are located to the immediate left and right Therefore although it may result in a setting contrary to the above explanation we recommend that you playback multi channel surround encoded software 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 sel
