How Do I Adjust the Surround Modes?

Applying Digital Signal Processor (DSP) Effects

The DSP mode creates the reverberation devices (elements of sound ech- oed in various spaces) which determine the feeling of presence. Since DSP uses digital processing, it can produce these effects without soiling the sound quality of the original music or video source.

The DSP mode lets you add the atmosphere of an Arena, Jazz Club, Ca- thedral, Concert Hall, Stadium (1, 2) or Theater (1, 2) from any PCM or analog input source. These modes are particularly effective when used with stereo program sources like CD, television and FM radio. You might enjoy trying the CONCERT HALL, STADIUM or ARENA mode the next time you watch a sporting event or concert.

You can adjust the following elements to create a customized environment:

The WALL TYPE parameter lets you adjust the brightness of the sonic environment according to your preference.

The ROOM SIZE parameter lets you adjust the size of the sonic envi- ronment according to your preference.

The EFFECT LEVEL lets you adjust the amount of DSP “presence” in the sonic environment according to your preference.

Setting a DSP effect

Press the Remote Control unit’s LISTEN M. button or receiver’s LIS- TEN MODE button repeatedly until the desired listen mode is dis- played.
