DSP Simulation Playback

The desired mode according to the program source and viewing situation can be selected from among 10 DENON original surround modes.

The surround parameters can be adjusted (vpage 77, 78) to achieve an even more realistic, powerful sound field.

[Selectable items]

7CH STEREO : This mode is for enjoying stereo sound from all speakers.

WIDE SCREEN : This mode is for enjoying the atmosphere of viewing a movie on a large screen.

SUPER STADIUM : This mode is suited for viewing sports programs.

ROCK ARENA : This mode is for enjoying the atmosphere of a live concert in an arena.

JAZZ CLUB : This mode is for enjoying the atmosphere of a live concert in a jazz club.

CLASSIC CONCERT : This mode is for appreciating classical concert programs.

MONO MOVIE z: This mode is for playing monaural movie sources with surround sound.

VIDEO GAME : This mode is suited for achieving surround

sound with video games.

MATRIX : This mode lets you add a sense of expansion to stereo music sources.

VIRTUAL : This mode is for enjoying surround effects using only the front speakers or headphones.

z: When playing sources recorded in monaural in the MONO MOVIE mode, the sound will be off balance with a single channel (left or right), so input to both channels.

To select these surround modes using the buttons on the main remote control unit, press the SIMU button. The mode switches each time the button is pressed.

Depending on the program source being played, it may not be possible to achieve a satisfactory surround effect. In this case, try other modes to achieve a sound field suited to your tastes.
