DISCO

This program recreates the acoustic environment of a lively disco in the heart of a big

 

 

 

city. The sound is dense and highly concentrated. It is also characterized by a high-

 

 

 

energy, “immediate” sound.

 

 

 

 

 

 

5CH STEREO

Using this program increases the listening position range. This is a sound field

 

 

 

suitable for background music at parties.

 

 

 

 

Note

•Reverberations (sound effects) for realizing the sound field and unprocessed stereo from the left and right main speakers is output. The sound is not output from the center speaker. (The sound is output when one of these programs is selected while playing a source encoded with a Dolby Digital or DTS signal. If 5CH STEREO is selected, the sound is output from all speakers regardless of the input source.)

TV SPORTS

Although the presence sound field is relatively narrow, the surround sound field

 

 

 

employs the sound environment of a large concert hall. With this program, you can

 

 

 

enjoy watching various TV programs such as 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, while their spread to the rear is properly restrained.

using only the presence sound field.
