MOVIE

Spectacle

This program creates the extremely wide sound field of a 70-mm movie theater. It

 

 

 

THEATER 1

 

precisely reproduces the source sound in detail, making both the video and the sound field

 

 

 

 

 

incredibly real. This is ideal for any kind of video source encoded with Dolby Surround,

 

 

 

 

 

Dolby Digital or DTS (especially large-scale movie productions).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sci-Fi

This program clearly reproduces dialog and sound effects in the latest sound form of

 

 

 

 

 

science fiction films, thus creating a broad and expansive cinematic space amid the

 

 

 

 

 

silence. You can enjoy science fiction films in a virtual-space sound field that includes

 

 

 

 

 

Dolby Surround, Dolby Digital and DTS-encoded software employing the most advanced

 

 

 

 

 

techniques.

MOVIE

Adventure

This program is ideal for precisely reproducing the sound design of the newest 70-mm and

 

 

 

THEATER 2

 

multichannel soundtrack films. The sound field is made to be similar to that of the newest

 

 

 

 

 

movie theaters, so the reverberations of the sound field itself are restrained as much as

 

 

 

 

 

possible.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

General

This program is for reproducing sounds from 70-mm and multichannel soundtrack films,

 

 

 

 

 

and is characterized by a soft and extensive sound field. The presence sound field is

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

relatively narrow. It spatially spreads all around and toward the screen, restraining the

 

OPERATION BASIC

 

 

 

echo effect of conversations without losing clarity.

Straight Decode

The built-in decoder reproduces source sounds and sound-effects precisely.

 

 

 

 

 

No DSP effect is applied in this program.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Enhanced Mode

This program ideally simulates the multi-surround speaker systems of the 35-mm film

 

 

 

 

 

theaters. Dolby Pro Logic decoding, Dolby Digital decoding or DTS decoding and digital

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

sound field processing create precise effects without altering the original sound orienta-

 

 

 

 

 

tion.

 

 

 

 

 

The surround effects produced by this sound field wrap around the viewer naturally from

 

 

 

 

 

the back to the left and right, and toward the screen.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Straight Decode

This unit is equipped with various precise decoders;

•Dolby Digital/DTS decoder for multi-channel reproduction of the original sound

•Dolby Pro Logic/Pro Logic II decoder for multi-channel reproduction of 2-channel sources

Select any of the Straight Decode modes in Program 9 (except for the sub-program “Enhanced”) to use any of these decoders for reproducing the original sound without any sound effects added. In this case, no DSP effect is applied and the DSP indicator turns off.

Note

•When playing a monaural source with a CINEMA DSP program, the source signal is directed to the center channel, and the main and rear speakers output effect sounds.
