SURROUND MODE

This unit is equipped with many surround modes. These are provided to reproduce a variety of surround sound effects, according to the content of the source to be played.

The available surround modes may be restricted depending on the input signal and speaker setup.

The relationship between the selected surround mode and the input signal

The surround mode is selected with the surround mode selector on the unit or the remote controller. However, the sound you hear is subject to the relationship between the selected surround mode and the input signal. That relationship is as follows:
