JVC RX-8012VSL manual Reproducing the Sound Field, DVD Multi Playback Mode, 3D-PHONIC modes

English

3D-PHONIC modes

The 3D-PHONIC mode gives you such a nearly surround effect as is reproduced through the Dolby Surround decoder, which is widely used to reproduce sounds with a feeling of movement like those experienced in movie theaters. The 3D-PHONIC mode is the result of research on sound localization technology carried out at JVC for many years. This mode can be used when the front speakers are

connected to this receiver (without respect to the rear/center

speaker connection). When the 3D-PHONIC mode is reproduced with the center speaker connected, you can feel as if actors on the screen actually speak in your room.

•You can select “3D ACTION” only when playing an analog or linear PCM (digital) source.

•You can select “3D DIGITAL” only when playing a source encoded with Dolby Digital or DTS Digital Surround.

3D ACTION: Best for action and war movies — where the action is fast and explosive.

3D DIGITAL: Reproduces multichannel source encoded with Dolby Digital or with DTS Digital Surround.

HEADPHONE DSP mode

The HEADPHONE DSP mode can create the stereo sound as if you listen through the speakers while listening to a source using headphones. So you can feel as if you were in a music room. This

mode can be used only when both of the front speakers are deactivated (see page 13.)

Notes:

•When you select “DVD MULTI” as the source to play, you cannot select or adjust the Surround and DSP modes.

•The PRO LOGIC indicator lights up when the Dolby Pro Logic decorder built in this receiver is activated.

•When the line direct function is turned on, the Surround and DSP modes are canceled temporarily (see page 14).

•No adjustment can be made for the HEADPHONE DSP mode.

Reproducing the Sound Field

The sound heard in a concert hall or club consists of direct sound and indirect sound — early reflections and reflections from behind. Direct sounds reach the listener directly without any reflection. On the other hand, indirect sounds are delayed by the distances of the ceiling and walls. These direct sounds and indirect sounds are the most important elements of the acoustic surround effects.

The Surround and DSP modes can create these important elements, and give you a real “being there” feeling.

DVD MULTI Playback Mode

This receiver provides the DVD MULTI playback mode for reproducing the analog discrete 5.1 channel output mode of the DVD player or other equipment.

You can adjust the DVD MULTI playback mode while playing back a video software such as a DVD using the analog discrete 5.1 channel output mode.

•For the DVD MULTI playback mode connection, see page 7.

•For details on the DVD MULTI playback mode, see page 35.
