About the surround speaker position (PL. SIDE, and PL. BEHD.)
This setting is designed specifically for implementation of the
Digital Cinema Sound modes in the “VIRTUAL” sound fields.
With the Digital Cinema Sound modes, speaker position is not as
critical as other modes. All of the modes in the “VIRTUAL”
sound fields were designed under the premise that the surround
speaker 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 “VIRTUAL” sound fields
will not be effective unless the surround speaker position
parameter is set to “PL. SIDE”.
Nevertheless, each listening environment has many variables,
such as wall reflections, and you may obtain better results using
“PL. BEHD.” 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
“Surround speaker position” explanation, we recommend that
you play back 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 surround speakers and the sound from
the front speakers. If you are not sure which sounds best, select
“PL. BEHD.” and then use the speaker distance parameter and
speaker level adjustments to obtain proper balance.
