Choosing Theater-Dimensional Mode

Theater-Dimensional mode is the technology which controls the characteristics of the sounds reaching the listener’s left and right ears, therefore, there is a sweet spot where you can best experience the Theater-Dimensional effects. You need to adjust the location of the sweet spot and these other factors for the best possible Theater-Dimensional effect.

Set “LSTN. ANGLE” to one of the following settings, which you feel is most effective (the listening angles in parentheses are ideal):

•Normal (30°)

•Wide (40°)

•Narrow (20°)
