•The following modes apply conventional 2-channel signals such as digital PCM or analog stereo signals to high performance Digital Signal Processor to recreate sound fields artificially. Select one of the 7 provided surround modes according to the program source you want to play.

■Theater

This mode provides the effect of being in a movie theater when watching a play.

■Hall

This mode provides the ambience of a concert hall for classical music sources such as orchestral, chamber music or an instrumental solo.

■Stadium

This mode provides the expansive sound field to achieve the true stadium effect when watching baseball or soccer games.

■Room

This mode provides the sound field of a house with a low ceiling and hard walls for jazz music.

■Panorama

This mode provides a dynamic and broad sound space to heighten the overall impact of the sound track.

■Classic

■Multi CH Stereo

This mode is designed for playing background music. The front, surround and surround back channels create a stereo image that encompasses the entire area.
