CONCERT

Classical/Opera

Provides excellent depth of vocals and overall clarity, restraining

 

VIDEO

 

excessive reverberation.

 

 

 

For opera, the orchestra pit and the stage are ideally combined, letting you

 

 

 

feel a full presence sound. The rear surround side of the sound field is

 

 

 

relatively moderated, however, it reproduces beautiful sound by the use of

 

 

 

the data of a concert hall. You will not be tired from long watching of an

 

 

 

opera.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pop/Rock

Produces an enthusiastic atmosphere and lets you feel that you are in the

 

 

 

midst of the action, as if attending an actual jazz or rock concert.

 

 

 

The indirect sound constituent spreads on the surround side of the sound

 

 

 

field by the use of data of a large round hall for the surround side, so the

 

 

 

image space around the screen and the sound space are fully expanded.

TV THEATER

Mono Movie

This program is for reproducing monaural video sources (old movies etc.).

 

 

 

Monaural sounds are reproduced with much presence by the front

 

 

 

presence side of the sound field and optimum reverberation effect. The

 

 

 

use of the center speaker makes conversations more audible, obtaining a

 

 

 

pleasant mix of conversations and picture.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Variety/Sports

Though the front presence side of the sound field is relatively narrow, the

 

 

 

rear surround side employs the sound environment of a large concert hall.

 

 

 

With this program, you can enjoy watching various TV programs such as

 

 

 

the news, variety shows, music programs or sports programs. In a stereo

 

 

 

broadcast of a sports game, the commentator is oriented at the center

 

 

 

position, and the shouts and the atmosphere in the stadium spread on the

 

 

 

surround side, however, spreading of them to the rear side is properly

 

 

 

restrained.
