SIMULATED
SURROUND
:
The
"SIMULATED"
creates
effects
of
reverberated
and

sound
from
the
walls
and

similar
to
a
concert
hall.
These
soundeffects
added
to

make
you
feel
as
if
you
were
in
a
more

In
this
mode,
the
front
speakers
provide
a
normal
stereo
effect
while
the
rear

provide
a
reverberated
sound.
This
