9. 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 spreads on the surround side,
	however, spreading of them to the rear side
	is properly restrained.
