DSP modes

The DSP (Digital Sound Processing) modes allow you to transform your living room into a variety of different sonic environments when playing standard (two-channel) stereo sources, Dolby Surround sources, and Dolby Digital sources.

HALL 1

Simulates the acoustic environment of a large concert hall of wooden construction. Complex delay of reflected sounds coupled with reverberation effects create a dynamic and beautiful sound characteristic of an orchestra performing in a concert hall, making it suitable for classical music

HALL 2

Simulates the acoustic environment of a large concert hall with stone walls. The rich reverberations and natural fullness of the sound create the auditory impression of being in a concert hall, making it suitable for classical music.

JAZZ

Simulates the acoustic environment of a jazz club. Less delay on the reflected sounds emphasizes the sensation of hearing a live band.

DANCE

Simulates the acoustic environment and strong bass sound of a nightclub with a square dance floor. A short delay on the reflected sounds emulates the raw power of the dance music.

THEATER 1

Adjusts the delay of the reflected sound to simulate the acoustic environment of a medium sized movie theater.

THEATER 2

Simulates the acoustic environment of a theater while maintaining proper localization of each channel.
