Enjoying the Sound Effects

Choosing Theater-Dimensional Mode

Theater-Dimensional mode is the technology which controls the characteristics of the sounds reaching the listener’s left and right ears, therefore, there is a sweet spot where you can best experience the Theater-Dimensional effects. You need to adjust the location of the sweet spot and these other factors for the best possible Theater-Dimensional effect.

The listening angle is the angle at the listening position where the two lines from the left and right speakers meet.

You need to adjust the listening angle in the following cases:

Set “LSTN. ANGLE” to one of the following settings, which you feel is most effective (the listening angles in parentheses are ideal):

•Normal (30°)

•Wide (40°)

•Narrow (20°)
