VMAx Near

When only the two front-channel loudspeakers are used, Harman’s patented VMAx mode

VMAx Far

delivers a three-dimensional sound space with the illusion of “phantom speakers” at the

 

 

center and surround positions. The VMAx N, or “Near Field” mode should be selected when

 

 

your listening position is less than 1,5 m from the speakers. The VMAx F, or “Far Field” mode

 

 

may be selected when your listening position is greater than 1,5 m from the speakers.

 

 

The VMAx modes are also available using the Headphones Output 4. When headphones

 

 

are being used, the Far Field mode will push the sound field away from your ears,

 

 

reducing the “inside the head” sensation often experienced when using headphones.
