Selecting the Sound Field

You can enjoy surround sound simply by selecting one of the pre-programmed sound fields according to the program you want to listen to. You will get such presence that you will have the illusion that you are in a movie theater or concert hall while you are in your own room.

See the table on the next page for the details on each sound field.

When you select an audio/video component by the FUNCTION button, the sound field that was last applied for the component is automatically applied. For example, suppose you select the “DVD” connected to the OPTICAL jack and select MOVIE as the sound field, then switch to COAX (COAXIAL) by the FUNCTION button and select MUSIC as the sound field. If you switch to OPT (OPTICAL) again, MOVIE will be applied as the sound field.
