JVC RX-7040B manual Using the DSP Modes, Reproducing the Sound Field, Introducing the DSP Modes

Using the DSP Modes

This unit activates a variety of DSP modes automatically. The basic settings and adjustments stored (see pages 21 to 29) are applied automatically.

Reproducing the Sound Field

The sound heard in a concert hall, club, etc. consists of direct sound and indirect sound—early reflections and reflections from behind. Direct sounds reach the listener directly without any reflection. On the other hand, indirect sounds are delayed by the distances of the ceiling and walls. These direct sounds and indirect sounds are the most important elements of the acoustic surround effects.

DSP modes can create these important elements, and give you a real “being there” feeling.

Introducing the DSP Modes

DSP modes include the following modes—

•Digital Acoustic Processor (DAP) modes (HALL 1, HALL 2, LIVE CLUB, DANCE CLUB, PAVILION, THEATER 1, THEATER 2)

•ALL STEREO

•MONO FILM—Used for all types of 2-channel signals (including Dual Mono signal)

3D Headphone mode

You can also enjoy the DSP mode (except All Channel Stereo mode) through the headphones.

If you press DSP when the front speakers 1 and 2 are both deactivated, 3D Headphone mode (3D H PHONE) is activated without respect to the type of software played back.

“3D H PHONE” appears on the display and the DSP and HEADPHONE indicators also light up.

To use DSP modes, press DSP so that the DSP modes change as follows.

The DSP indicator also lights up on the display.

= HALL 1	= HALL 2	= LIVE CLUB
= DANCE CLUB	= PAVILION	= ALL STEREO
= THEATER 1	= THEATER 2	= MONO FILM

Digital Acoustic Processor (DAP) modes

You can use the following DAP modes in order to reproduce a more acoustic sound field in your listening room.

HALL 1	Reproduces the spatial feeling of a large
	shoebox-shaped hall designed primarily for
	classical concerts. (Its seating capacity is about
	2000.)
HALL 2	Reproduces the spatial feeling of a large
	vineyard-shaped hall designed primarily for
	classical concerts. (Its seating capacity is about
	2000.)
LIVE CLUB	Reproduces the spatial feeling of a live music
	club with a low ceiling.
DANCE CLUB	Reproduces the spatial feeling of a rocking
	dance club.
PAVILION	Reproduces the spatial feeling of an exhibition
	hall with a high ceiling.
THEATER 1*	Reproduces the spatial feeling of a large theater
	where the seating capacity is about 600.
THEATER 2*	Reproduces the spatial feeling of a small
	theater where the seating capacity is about 300.

*The built-in Dolby Pro Logic II decoder is activated when playing back 2-channel analog or digital source. The indicator lights up.

When using the DAP mode, the sounds come out of all the connected and activated speakers.

•If the surround speakers are set to “NONE” in the speaker setting, JVC’s original 3D-PHONIC processing (which has been developed to create the surround effect through the front speakers only) is used.

The 3D-PHONIC indicator lights up on the display.
