When using two speakers for 3-D audio, your left ear hears the sound
coming from the left speaker but also some of the sound coming from the
right speaker. The same holds true for you right ear, it also hears sounds
coming from the left speaker. This diminishes the 3-D effect.
To achieve the maximum 3D effect the use of headphones is
recommended. When using headphones the sound coming from the left
are only heard by your left ear just as the sounds coming from the right
are only the heard by your right ear. This results in a much more
immersive experience.
Please see the Control Panel section in Chapter 7 of this manual for more
details, including upgrade options for four-speaker support.
