What
is
surround
sound?
With
ordinary
stereo,
sound
normally
comes
only
from
speakers
in
front
of
the
listener.
Ina
concert
hall
or
theater
though,
sound
reflected
from
the
walls
and
ceiling
reaches
the
fistener
from
all
directions.
This
is
what
accounts
for
the
feeling
of
ambience
or
spaciousness
of
a
live
performance,
Surround
sound
works
to
repraduce
these
effects
to
produce
fuller,
more
“live”
sound
STEREO WIDE
When
the
surround
speakers
are
not
connected,
the
stereo

function
may
be
activated.
This
function
enhances
the

effect.
Note
however,
that
it
