Creating Realistic Sound Fields

DSP (Digital Signal Processor) Modes

DSP modes have been designed to create important acoustic surround elements.

The sound heard in a live house, a hall, a concert, a stadium, or a theater 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 indirect sounds are important elements of the acoustic surround effects.

The following DSP modes are provided with this unit.

LIVE HOUSE

: Gives the feeling of a live music house with a

 

low ceiling.

 

 

HALL

: Gives clear vocal and the feeling of a concert

 

hall.

 

 

CONCERT

: Gives the feeling of a large hall designated

 

primarily for classical concert.

 

 

STADIUM

: Gives feeling of an outdoor stadium.

 

 

THEATER

: Gives the feeling of a theater.

 

 

These DSP modes can be used to add the acoustic surround effects while reproducing stereo analog software, Linear PCM digital software, or Dolby Surround encoded source and can give you a real “being there” feeling.

Note:

On some source signals, DSP mode may not work sufficiently. In that

case, select another preferred DSP mode.

Activating the Surround Mode

You can enjoy three kinds of surround—Digital Multichannel Surround (Dolby Digital and DTS Digital Surround), Dolby Pro Logic II and DSP modes.

If you activate the surround mode not available, “INVALID” appears on the display.

For Dolby Digital or DTS Digital Surround

When playback source is encoded with Dolby Digital or DTS Digital Surround, the system detects it and activate Multichannel Surround automatically.

When Dolby Digital is activated, the DIGITAL indicator lights up on the display.

When DTS Digital Surround is activated, the indicator lights up on the display.

For Pro Logic II modes

Press SURROUND.
