xV.M.DIMENS.* (Virtual Multi Dimension)

DCS

Uses 3D sound imaging to create an array of virtual surround speakers positioned higher than the listener from a single pair of actual surround speakers. This mode creates 4 sets of virtual speakers surrounding the listener at approximately a 30° angle of elevation.

xV.SEMI M.D.* (Virtual Semi Multi Dimension) DCS

Uses 3D sound imaging to create virtual surround speakers from the sound of the front speakers without using actual surround speakers. This mode creates 5 sets of virtual speakers surrounding the listener at a 30° angle of elevation.

xJAZZ (Jazz Club)

*“VIRTUAL” sound field: Sound field with virtual speakers.

Notes

•The effects provided by the virtual speakers may cause increased noise in the playback signal.

•When listening with sound fields that employ the virtual speakers, you will not be able to hear any sound coming directly from the surround speakers.

Use the buttons on the remote to operate the following modes.

A.F.D. (AUTO FORMAT DECODING)

Automatically detects the type of audio signal being input (Dolby Digital, DTS, or standard 2 channel stereo) and performs the proper decoding if necessary. This mode presents the sound as it was recorded/encoded, without adding any effects (ex. reverberation).

2CH ST. (2 CHANNEL)

Outputs the sound from the front left and right speakers only. Standard 2 channel (stereo) sources completely bypass the sound field processing. Multi channel surround formats are downmixed to 2 channel.

Notes

•No sound is output from the sub woofer when

you select NORM. SP. (page 16) and “2CH ST.” is selected. To listen to 2 channel (stereo) sources using the front left and right speakers and a sub woofer, select “A.F.D.”.

•When you select MICRO SP., internal sound processor will automatically redirect bass sound to subwoofer.
