The Stereo mode uses the two main channel outputs from the front speakers. Use this mode if you have connected the front speakers only.
DSP (Digital Sound Processor)
These digital sound effects resemble sounds in a real environment such as (ARENA/ JAZZ CLUB / THEATER / STADIUM / DISCO). DSP automatically converts analog audio signals to digital ones which enables you to adjust the sound without degrading the sound quality. Different modes will give you different feels of size and types of listening environment.
NOTE
This function will not be available in 6 channel input mode
Night Mode
By using Dynamic Range Control technology, you can enjoy enhanced Dolby Digital sound quality at night without interrupting your roommates or neighbors.

Night Mode can be activated by pressing the NIGHT button on the remote control. DRC OFF (Default) appears on the display. While DRC OFF (Default) is still on the display, continue to press the NIGHT button to toggle and select the desired night mode. There are three modes (DRC OFF, SOFT, ON) for you to choose the extents of compression.
