Using sound modes

The sound modes allow you to add various room-type sound effects to your DVDs, CDs and other sources. These effects process the sound in various ways to simulate different spaces such as a theater, or concert hall.

For Dolby Surround, Dolby Digital or DTS surround sources, such as DVDs, use the Advanced Theater effects to add room effects to the sound; for stereo-only sources, such as audio CDs, use the DSP modes. As well as choosing between effects, you can also adjust how strong the effect sounds. Often, a more subtle effect level enhances the sound better than turning it right up. Experiment to see what works best for you.

Effects modes

Switch on the Dolby/DTS mode when you play a Dolby Surround, Dolby Digital or DTS encoded source.

•Musical – Concert hall sound.

•Drama – Classic, mid-size movie theater sound.

•Action – Large, modern movie theater sound.

•Virtual Surround 1 – Virtual surround sound from just the main front stereo speakers and a subwoofer. Use this mode if you can't use the surround speakers.

4 Shaping the Sound

•Virtual Surround 2 – Virtual surround sound if you have connected the surround speakers, but are using them in front of the listening position.

•Rear Wide – Widens the rear channel soundstage.
