Sound field programmes
This unit is equipped with a digital sound field processor which contains several sound field programmes which you can use to enhance your listening pleasure. Most of the sound field programmes are precise digital reproductions of acoustic environments which actually exist whether famous concert halls, music performance venues or cinemas.
An important factor which contributes towards producing the rich, full sound of a real instrument is the numerous reflections from the walls of the room. These reflections not only bring the sound to life, but also allow the listener to locate the precise position of the instruments and to define the size and shape of the room the listener is sitting in.
Using the colour keys you can select the following sound field programmes based on your own listening preferences while playing back music, films or sport programmes.
