Listening to your system 06 Setting the Up Mix function In a 7.1-channel surround system with surround speakers placed directly at the sides of the listening position, the surround sound of 5.1-channel sources is heard from the side. The Up Mix function mixes the sound of the surround speakers with the surround back speakers so that the surround sound is heard from diagonally to the rear as it should be.1 • Using the Up Mix function is effective when the speakers in the 7.1-channel surround system are set up as recommended in the example on page 23. • Depending on the positions of the speakers and the sound source, in some cases it may not be possible to achieve good results. In this case, set the setting to OFF. Up Mix OFF Up Mix ON FL SW C FR FL SW C FR SL SR ?
