BEAM MODE

 

3 beam mode

You can achieve a more realistic surround effect if you adjust settings for IMAGE LOCATION in BEAM MENU (see page 74).

Notes

When you play back multi-channel sources, surround left and right signals are mixed down and output from the front left and right speakers.

The front left and right sound beams are output towards the walls in your listening room.

Outputs sound beams from the front left and right speakers in the 2-channel stereo mode. This mode is ideal for playing back hi-fi sources, such as CDs, and can be used to replace your TV speakers.

Notes

When you play back multi-channel sources, all signals except those for the front left and right speakers are mixed down and output from the front left and right speakers. No audio is output from the center and rear channels.

The surround mode becomes disabled when the stereo mode is selected.

When you play back Dolby Digital audio signals in the stereo mode, the dynamic range becomes compressed. If the volume level decreases to the extreme, use other beam modes except the target mode.

If the stereo mode is selected as the beam mode, the surround modes (see page 46) and the CINEMA DSP programs (see page 51) become ineffective.
