			front stereo image, giving the impression of being right in front of the stage.	G

T-D (Theater-			With this mode you can enjoy a virtual surround sound even with only two		ZXC
Dimensional)			or three speakers. This works by controlling how sounds reach the listener’s		N
			left and right ears. Good results may not be possible if there’s too much
	T – D		reverb, so we recommend that you use this mode in an environment with
			little or no natural reverb.
