Activating the Surround Sounds

Using the DAP Modes

You can use five DAP modes — “Dance Club, Live Club, Hall, Pavilion, and Headphones.” These modes (except “Headphones”) require the front speakers and the rear speakers, but do not require a center speaker to enlarge the sound field.

Among the DAP modes, “Headphones” is very special. It can create the same stereo sound as you listen through the speakers off air while listening to a source using headphones. So, you can feel as if you were not using the headphones and listening to music in a room.

On the front panel:

 

1. Press SURROUND so that the Control %/ Þ / @/ #

SURROUND

buttons work for selecting the surround/DAP/3D-

 

PHONIC modes.

 

The lamp above the button lights up.

2. Press Control % / Þ until one of the DAP mode (“HEAD P,” “PAVILION,” “HALL,” “LIVE C,” or “DANCE C”) appears on the display.

Each time you press the button, the surround/DAP/3D-

PHONIC modes change as follows:

Ex. PROLOGIC THEATER 3CHLOGIC

OFF 3DACTION* PAVILION*

(One of the five modes appears)

*As for the 3D-PHONIC modes (see page 23) and the DAP modes, one of the previously selected mode appears on the display.

3.Press Control @/ # until the DAP mode you want

appears on the display.

Each time you press the button, the DAP modes change as follows:

HEAD P PAVILION

The lamp above the button lights up.

5. Press Control %/ Þ until “– REAR +” appears on the display.

Note:

When one of the DAP modes is selected, the DAP indicator also lights up on the display.

Note:

When changing the DAP modes to “PAVILION” or “HALL,” a reverberation sound comes out. This is because a long reverberation is applied to these two modes.

Note:

Once you have adjusted the DAP modes, the adjustment is memorized for each DAP mode.
