SATELLIT mode :  
Place a pair of the satellite speakers outside the front speakers  
(see PREPARATIONS). The satellite Speakers output the  
same sound as that from the front speakers with a 9 milli-  
second delay. You can obtain a clear-cut sound image and  
listening experience with naturally enhanced spaciousness  
like concert halls.  
REAR SP mode :  
Place a pair of the satellite speakers behind the listening area.  
You can mount them on the wall (see PREPARATIONS). This  
creates a 4-speaker surround environment.  
AMBIENT 1 mode :  
Front speakers are deactivated so sound is outputted only  
from the satellite speakers. If a pair of the satellite speakers  
are placed at the bed sides, you can enjoy midnight listening  
without the inconvenience of headphones.  
AMBIENT 2 mode :  
In addition to AMBIENT 1 mode, QSURROUND effect is mixed  
so you can obtain good stereo imaging even if there is not  
sufficient distance between the satellite speakers.
