Using the DSP Modes

The built-in Surround Processor provides three types of the DSP (Digital Signal Processor) mode — 3D- PHONIC mode, DAP (Digital Acoustic Processor) mode and Surround mode (Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic and JVC’s Theater Surround.)

English

On the 3D-PHONIC mode

The 3D-PHONIC mode gives you such a nearly surround effect as it 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 and makes it possible to reproduce the surround sound with only two front speakers.

On the DAP mode

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 DAP mode can create these important elements, and gives you a real “being there” feeling.

Reflections from behind

•You can not use the two types of the DSP modes at the same time.

IMPORTANT:
