Basic Operation

MUSIC modes (SURROUND mode)

The MUSIC modes allow you to transform your living room into a variety of different sonic environments when playing either two-channel or multichannel sources. It optimizes its effects in accordance with your source, SB CH MODE and speaker configuration. The first two modes are for pure decoding of multichannel sound sources. With these modes the receiver will automatically employ the format of the sound source (for example, Dolby Digital or DTS). With two channel sources these first two modes will create surround channels. Then there are five PIONEER original sound modes that use DSP (Digital Signal Processing) to create different types of sound environments as described below. Lastly, the 5/7-CH STEREO mode simply outputs a stereo signal through all of your speakers.

2PL II MUSIC (2PRO LOGIC II MUSIC)*

This mode gives 5.1 channel surround sound and is suitable for music. Compared to the Movie Mode PRO LOGIC, the surround effect is more enveloping. With sources other than stereo (5.1, etc.) the display will automatically show the type of decoding being employed (Dolby Digital, DTS-ES, etc.).

NEO:6 MUSIC*

This mode gives 6.1 channel surround sound and is suitable for music. The NEO:6 MUSIC mode plays the stereo source as is through the front left/right speakers, and generates a natural, ambient surround and center sound. With sources other than stereo (5.1, etc.) the display will automatically show the type of decoding being employed (Dolby Digital, DTS-ES, etc.).

CLASSICAL

Simulates the acoustic effects of a large concert hall. Suitable for classical music. A long delay time of reflected sounds, coupled with reverb effects, let the listener experience the dynamic and rich sounds characteristic of concert halls and powerful orchestral performances.

CHAMBER

Simulates the acoustic environment of a very resonant concert hall. Rich reverberation and a full sound create the impression of a lively performance space.

JAZZ

Simulates the acoustic effects of a jazz club. Reflected sound is virtually below 100 msec so that the listener can experience a live band effect.

ROCK

Simulates the acoustic effects of a mid-sized concert hall. The listener can experience a live band effect with good separation of the instruments, a strong bass and the vivid feeling of a live performance.

DANCE

Simulates the acoustic effects of a dance club. Features a strong bass sound. Reflected sound delay time is virtually below 50 msec, for the listener to experience the visceral power of dance music.

5/7CH STEREO

Simulates the acoustic environment of a regular stereo while using all the speakers in the system to induce a rich, all-around sound. The display will change to 5-CH STEREO or 7-CH STEREO according to the SB CH MODE and speaker configuration.

*When you input a multichannel signal the decoding is done automatically so you cannot choose these modes.
