What is surround sound?
With
ordinary
stereo,
sound
normally
comes
only
from
speakers
in
front
of
the
listener.
in
a
concert
hall
or
theater
though,
sound
reflected
from
the
wails
and
ceiling
reaches
the
listener
from
all
directions.
This
is
what
accounts
for
the
feeling
of
ambience
or
spaciousness
of
a
five
performance.
Surround
sound
works
to
reproduce
these
effects
to
produce
fuller,
more
“‘live’’
sound.
STEREO WIDE
When
the

speakers
are
not

HOW
TO
HANDLE
CASSETTE
TAPES
Bear
in
mind
the
following
points
before
loading
cassette
tapes.
Is
the
tape
foose,
or
is
some
of
the
tape
outside
the
cassette?
if
some
of
the
tape
is
projecting
outside
the
cassette
shell
or
if
itis
loose,
it
may
not
feed
between
the
capstan
and
pinch
roller.
This
will
prevent
the
tape
from
being
transported
or
damage
the
tape
itself.
In
cases
like
these,
insert
a
pencil
into
the
reel
hole
and
take
up
the
slack.
(Fig,
A)
Some
cassette
tapes
come
with
a
plastic
or
thick
paper
stopper
which
prevents
tape
slack.
Remove
this
stopper
when
loading
the
tape
and
replace
it
after
having
used
the
cassette
What
are
the
accidental
erasure
prevention
tabs
for?
A
cassette
is
provided
with
these
tabs
so
that
important
recordings
will
not
be
erased
accidentally.
When
the
tab
{Fig.

of

it
will

so

To

Simply
stick
a
