produce 3-dimensional sound fields even when no front presence speakers are connected. However, we
recommend using front presence speakers in order to experience the full effect of the sound fields (and
rear presence speakers for further spatial sounds).

produce natural 3-dimensional sound fields when front presence speakers are connected but no rear
