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.
