Using the DSP Modes

This unit provides a variety of DSP (Digital Signal Processor) modes. The stored basic settings and adjustments performed on the Setup and Adjustment Menus (see pages 29 to 44) are applied.

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.

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

 

Reflections from

Early reflectionsbehind
Direct soundsIntroducing the DSP ModesThe DSP modes include the following modes—

•DAP (Digital Acoustic Processor) modes (LARGE HALL 1, LARGE HALL 2, RECITAL HALL, OPERA HOUSE, CHURCH, LIVE CLUB, DANCE CLUB, PAVILION, LARGE THEATER, SMALL THEATER)

•ALL CH STEREO•STEREO FILM/MONO FILMHEADPHONE Mode

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

If you press DSP when the front speakers 1 and 2 are both deactivated, HEADPHONE mode is activated without respect to the type of software played back.

The DSP and HEADPHONE indicators also light up.

To use the DSP modes, press DSP so that the DSP modes change as follows.The DSP indicator also lights up on the display.=LARGE HALL 1 = LARGE HALL 2 = RECITAL HALL=OPERA HOUSE = CHURCH = LIVE CLUB=DANCE CLUB = PAVILION = ALL CH STEREO=LARGE THEATER = SMALL THEATER=STEREO FILM = MONO FILM =

DAP modes

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

LARGE HALL 1 : Reproduces the spatial feeling of a large

 

shoebox-shaped hall designed primarily for

 

classical concerts. (Its seating capacity is

 

about 2000.)

 

LARGE HALL 2 : Reproduces the spatial feeling of a large

 

vineyard-shaped hall designed primarily for

 

classical concerts. (Its seating capacity is

 

about 2000.)

 

 

RECITAL HALL: Reproduces the spatial feeling of a small hall

 

designed primarily for classical recitals.

 

(Seating capacity is about 500.)

 

 

OPERA HOUSE: Reproduces the spatial feeling of an opera

 

house with a high ceiling and multi-level

 

seating layout.

 

 

CHURCH: Reproduces the spatial feeling of a majestic

 

church with a high ceiling.

 

 

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.

LARGE THEATER : Reproduces the spatial feeling of a large theater where the seating capacity is about 600. The built-in Dolby Pro Logic II decoder is activated

for 2-channel software. (The

indicator

lights up.)

 

 

 

SMALL THEATER : 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

for 2-channel software. (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 deactivated, 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.
