THEATER | The THEATER mode creates a sound field that resembles the acoustic feeling of a | Delay time not adjustable |
| standard live performance theater, with stereo and even pure mono sources. |

|
HALL 1 | The two Hall modes create sound fields that resemble a small (HALL1) or | Delay time not adjustable |
HALL 2 | medium sized (HALL 2) concert hall, with stereo and even pure mono sources. |

VMAx Near | When only the two | No surround channels |
VMAx Far | delivers a |

| 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. |

This mode takes advantage of multiple speakers to place a stereo signal at both the front and | No delay available in | |

| entire path of travel through the receiver to the speaker and subwoofer outputs, bypassing |
|
| all digital processing. Digital bass management is not available in Surround Off mode. The |
|
| DSP Surround Off mode can be used with either an analog or digital input, as the signal |
|
| undergoes digital bass management to optimize the distribution of the low frequencies |
|
| between the main speakers and a subwoofer. |
