Dolby 3 Stereo

Dolby 3 Stereo is available for systems that do not have surround

 

speakers. When in the Dolby 3 Stereo mode, the surround information

 

is redirected to the front left and right speakers. This mode is designed

 

for use with Dolby Surround program sources, but can also improve

 

sound field unity for programs that are not Dolby Surround encoded.

 

Dialog positioning and sound image definition, however, may not be as

 

accurate when used with programs that are not Dolby Surround

 

encoded.

DSP mode

The DSP mode lets you add the atmosphere of a live concert or hall to almost any type of program source. These modes are particularly effective when used with stereo program sources, like CD, television, and FM radio. You might enjoy trying the ARENA, JAZZ CLUB, THEATER, STADIUM or DISCO mode the next time you watch a concert or sporting event!

What's DSP?

DSP stands for Digital Signal Processor.

The way a sound is heard in an actual environment depends on a variety of different factors. One of the most important is reverberation (the act of decaying elements of sound echoing in various places).

The DSP modes produce the feeling of presence by using the DSP to create reverberation, without spoiling the sound quality of the original signal.

Ambience effects

DVD 6-channel mode (except VR-505/KRF-V5550D)

Using a DVD player or the like equipped with six (5.1) output channels and the receiver, you can enjoy multi-channel encoded DVD source material in all its splendor. Since the source signals are digital and each channel is input independently, the resulting sound quality, sense of spaciousness, and dynamic range are superb.
