All of the modes in the VIRTUAL sound fields were designed under the premise that the rear speaker would be located behind the listening position but presentation remains fairly consistent even with the rear 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 VIRTUAL sound fields will not be effective unless the rear 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 if they are to the immediate left and right Therefore although it may result in a setting contrary to the Rear speaker position explanation we recommend that you playback multi channel 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 rear speakers and the sound of the front speakers If you are not sure which sounds best select BEHIND and then use the speaker distance parameter and speaker level adjustments to obtain proper balance continued Bunio5 H 11 12 Multi channel surround setup continued S
