Playback Modes

Sound Modes

The Sound Modes allow you to add certain sound elements when playing all kinds of sources (two-channel/stereo sources, Dolby Surround sources, Dolby Digital or DTS sources). They can be used in conjunction with the listening modes explained on the previous page.

NATURAL

This mode flattens the total frequency output to make it match the characteristics of the small speakers. When playing a multichannel source using the small speakers this setting corrects the frequency to achieve better theater- like surround sound.

MIDNIGHT

This mode makes the softer sounds more audible and the louder sounds a bit softer so you can hear the entire soundtrack, especially quiet sounds and dialog, with a good surround sound feeling when listening at low volumes.

QUIET

This mode reduces the bass and treble in the signal. It is best used when you feel sounds are too harsh or sharp and would like to smooth them out.

BRIGHT

This mode is used for 2ch Stereo, and is only audible from the front speakers. It flattens the total frequency output to make it match the characteristics of the front speakers. When playing two channel sources the bass trim often becomes muddy and this mode offers clear, true sound in low and high frequencies.

S.BASS

This mode increases the bass in the signal and puts the beat of the music or soundtrack in the forefront.

OFF

No sound mode is applied.
