This mode is suitable for old movies and other mono sources.

Mono Movie

The center speaker outputs the sound as it is, while reverb is

 

 

applied to the sound output by the other speakers, giving pres-

 

 

ence to even mono material.

 

 

 

 

 

Orchestra

Suitable for classical or operatic music, this mode emphasizes

 

 

the surround channels in order to widen the stereo image, and

 

 

 

simulates the natural reverberation of a large hall.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Unplugged

Suitable for acoustic instruments, vocals, and jazz, this mode

 

 

emphasizes the front stereo image, giving the impression of

 

 

 

being right in front of the stage.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Studio-Mix

Suitable for rock or pop music, listening to music in this mode

 

 

creates a lively sound field with a powerful acoustic image, like

 

 

 

being at a club or rock concert.

 

 

 

 

 

 

TV Logic

This mode adds realistic acoustics to TV shows produced in a TV

 

 

studio, surround effects to the entire sound, and clarity to voices.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Game-RPG

Use this mode when playing role playing game discs.

Game-Action

Use this mode when playing action game discs.

 

 

 

 

Game-Rock

Use this mode when playing rock game discs.

 

 

 

 

Game-Sports

Use this mode when playing sports game discs.

 

All Ch Stereo

Ideal for background music, this mode fills the entire listening



area with stereo sound from the front, surround, and surround

 

 

back speakers.

 

 

In this mode, all speakers output the same sound in mono, so

 

Full Mono

 

the sound you hear is the same regardless of where you are

 

 

within the listening room.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

With this mode, you can enjoy virtual surround sound even with

 



 

only two or three speakers. This works by controlling how

 

 

T-D (Theater-

sounds reach the listener’s left and right ears.

 

 

Good results may not be possible if there’s too much reverb, so

 

 

Dimensional)

 

 

we recommend that you use this mode in an environment with

 

 

 

 

 

 

little or no natural reverb.

 

 

 

See “Front 5.1ch” on page 42 to get the best result from this mode.
