•When you play back the Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, DTS Express, DTS-HD Master Audio, or DTS-HD High Resolution Audio sources, this unit does not apply any sound field program other than the surround decoder and they are played back in straight decode mode.

•If the sampling frequency of an input source is higher than 96 kHz, this unit does not apply any sound field programs.

Program

Descriptions

 

 

Standard

This program creates a sound field emphasizing the surrounding feeling without disturbing the original acoustic

 

positioning of multi-channel audio such as Dolby Digital and DTS. It has been designed with the concept of “an

 

ideal movie theater,” in which the audience is surrounded by beautiful reverberations from the left, right and rear.

 

 

Spectacle

This program represents the spectacular feeling of large-scale movie productions.

 

It reproduces a broad theater sound field matching the cinemascope and wider-screen movies with an excellent

 

dynamic range from very small to extremely large sound.

 

 

Sci-Fi

This program clearly reproduces the finely elaborated sound design of the latest science fiction and special effects-

 

featuring movies.

 

You can enjoy a variety of cinematographically created virtual spaces reproduced with clear separation between

 

dialog, sound effects and background music.

 

 

Adventure

This program is ideal for precisely reproducing the sound design of action and adventure movies.

 

The sound field restrains reverberations but puts emphasis on reproducing a powerful space expanded widely to

 

the left and right. The reproduced depth is also restrained relatively to ensure the separation between audio

 

channels and the clarity of the sound.
