Surround mode or Stereo mode for Super Bowl?


*
Do you set your processor to 2-channel stereo or one of the surround modes on your processor? If so, which surround mode do you use?

I'm giving my first Super Bowl party on Sunday for about 30-40 people. What has been your experience in choosing a sound mode when viewing a football game. My Sunfire processor has a 'stadium' mode as well as mode to engage all 5 speakers at once.

Does anyone know if the Super Bowl will be broadcast in a surround mode?

I've tried different surround modes such as stadium, etc. All it did was make the announcers' voices echo which was disconcerting so I just leave it on Dolby Digital. Actually I like the "music" setting better than the cinema for all the surround uses. I would experiment. If there are a lot of people and a big room, 5 speaker stereo might work best. Good luck and enjoy. Dan
