Basic Playback

DSP modes

The DSP (Digital Signal Processing) modes allow you to transform your living room into a variety of different sonic environments when playing either two-channel or multi-channel sources. If you have SURROUND BACK speaker(s) switched on (see p.32-33) then 7.1 will appear after the name of all of these modes in the display on the receiver.

HALL 1

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 enjoy the dynamic and rich sounds characteristic of concert halls and powerful orchestral performances.

HALL 2

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 enjoy a live band effect.

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 enjoy the visceral power of dance music.

THEATER 1

Reproduces theater sound field effects without losing the localization of each channel. Theater effects can be enjoyed without losing Dolby Digital/ Pro Logic effects when used in combination those formats (with

movies bearing the

DOLBY SURROUND

trademark).

 

THEATER 2

Simulates the acoustic environment of a theater while maintaining proper localization of each channel.

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. If you have SURROUND BACK speaker(s) switched on (see p.32-33) then the name of this mode will be 7CH STEREO in the display on the receiver. If the SURROUND BACK speakers are switched off, then the mode will appear as 5CH STEREO.

STEREO mode

Use the STEREO mode to enjoy standard (two-channel) stereo sound from the front left and right speakers. This mode is most like the sound reproduction you would get from a regular stereo receiver or amplifier that is not equipped to handled A/V formats as this one is. You might want to use this mode for listening to regular music sources (like CDs) but remember, you will only get sound from your front two speakers (and possibly subwoofer).
