DAP modes —————————————————
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.
THEATER: Gives the feeling of a large theater.
LIVE CLUB: Gives the feeling of a live music club
with a low ceiling.
DANCE CLUB: Gives a throbbing bass beat.
HALL:Gives clear vocal and the feeling of a concert hall.
PAVILION: Give the spacious feeling of a pavilion with a high ceiling.
Notes:
•The DSP modes have no effect on monaural sources.
•The DOLBY DIGITAL indicator lights up when the signals encoded with Dolby Digital come into the system.
•The PRO LOGIC indicator lights up when the signals encoded with Dolby Pro Logic decoder built in this system is activated.
•The DTS indicator lights up when the signals encoded with DTS Digital Surround come into the system.
•The MPEG indicator lights up when the signals encoded with MPEG Multichannnel Surround come into the system.
