SURROUND
SYSTEM
(VSX-3000
Only)
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
walls
and
ceiling
reaches
the
listener
from
all
directions.
This
is
what
accounts
for
the
feeling
of
ambience
or
spaciousness
of
a
live
performance.
Surround
sound
works
to
reproduce
these
effects
to
provide
fuller,
more
“live”
sound.
Speaker
System
Placement
Examples
The
sound
effects
obtained
in
a
surround
system
depend
on
speaker
placement.
Experiment
with
various
arrangements
to
find
the
one
most
suited
to
your
tastes.
Placing
the
speakers
so
that
they
are
slightly
higher
than
ear
level
contributes
to
sound
quality.
[Example
A:}
Sound
appears
to
come
from
directly
in
front
of
listener.
Good
for
listening
to
music
recordings.
[Example
B:]
Offers
most
varied
effects;
good
for
watching
sports
pro-
grams
or
listening
to
live
recordings.
[Example
C:]
Good
sound
dispersion;
recommended
for
movies,
etc.

GRAPHIC
EQUALIZER
CONTROLS
The
advantage
of
the
GRAPHIC
EQUALIZER
over
conven-
tional
tone
controls
is
that
with
the
five
controls
of
the
GRAPHIC
EQUALIZER
it
is
possible
to
control
five
different
narrow,
distinct
sections
of
the
audio band.
With
conven-
tional
tone
controls
a
setting
for
a
bass
or
treble
boost
or
cut
will
also
affect
the
lower
or
upper
mid
frequencies.
The
frequency
bands
controlled
by
the
five
slide
controls
have
been
chosen
to
yield
the
maximum
possible
control
action
within
the
audio
spectrum.
100
Hz:
The
100
Hz
control
is
very
useful
in
enhanc-
ing
low
bass
notes
as
in
organ
music.
330Hz:
The
330
Hz
contro!
will
allow
you
to
vary
the
upper
bass
frequencies.
1
kHz:
The
1
kHz
control
is
the
presence
control
and
can
be
used
very
effectively
to
emphasize,
or
de-emphasize
vocalists.
3.3
kHz:
The
3.3
kHz
contro!
will
add
brilliance
and
clarity
to
brass
instruments
and
violins.
10
kHz:
The
10

control
can
be
used
to
make
up
for
missing

to
add
