Learning about the Sound Modes

The sound modes are explained here.

There are two cinema modes: 2STANDARD, and ADVANCED THEATER. These are designed to be used with multi channel surround sound audio/visual sources (like DVDs and LDs). Intrinsic to home theater, these modes can deliver realistic and powerful surround sound that recreates the movie theater experience. You may need to experiment with them to see which settings suit your home system and personal tastes.

The DSP and STEREO modes are designed to be used with music sources but some DSP modes are also suited for film soundtracks. Again, try different settings with various soundtracks to see which you like.

2(STANDARD) mode

This mode is for pure decoding of Dolby Digital, DTS and Dolby Surround sources. No special effects are added. It is good for enjoying movies that have been recorded in Dolby Digital, DTS or Dolby Surround.

You can identify Dolby Digital software by the 1ormarks. Most Dolby Surround software is marked 3, but unmarked software may also incorporate Dolby Surround.

ADVANCED THEATER modes

() or .

DRAMA

Simulates the relaxed environment of a classic medium size movie theater, and is suitable for watching dramas on

sources marked 1() or.

ACTION

Simulates the acoustic environment of a large modern movie theater. You can enjoy the power and dynamics of

motion picture audio which is best used with action movies on sources marked 1,or.

EXPANDED (VSX-D710S)

This mode is especially designed to give sound depth to stereo sources. The overall effect builds a dynamic and broad sound space, allowing two-channel (stereo) signals to faithfully imitate a five speaker sound. Use with Dolby Pro Logic for a stereo surround effect. You can also use with Dolby Digital sources for a wider stereo field than STANDARD mode.

5/6-D THEATER (VSX-D810S/D850S)

This mode is especially designed to give sound depth to stereo sources. The overall effect builds a dynamic and broad sound space, allowing two-channel (stereo) signals to faithfully imitate a six speaker sound. The mode should

be used in conjunction with Dolby Pro Logic for sources bearing the mark.
