One of seven surround modes can be selected according to the program source and parameters can be further adjusted to achieve even more realistic sound fields. Types of surround modes and their features 5CH/7CH STEREO (NOTE 1) This mode lets you enjoy stereo sound with seven speakers. The front L (R) channel signals are played from the surround and surround back L (R) channels and only the in-phase component of the L and R channels is played on the center channel. MONO MOVIE (NOTE 2) This mode recreates the atmosphere of an expansive sound field for movie sources recorded in monaural. ROCK ARENA This mode recreates the atmosphere of a live concert in an arena. JAZZ CLUB This mode recreates the atmosphere of a live concert in a club with low ceilings, hard walls and the artist just in front of you. VIDEO GAME This mode provides a rich sense of presence for video games. MATRIX This mode recreates music sources recorded in stereo with an enhanced sense of expansion. VIRTUAL This mode can be used to enjoy surround sound with only front speakers or when using headphones. NOTE 1: “5CH STEREO” is displayed when “SB CH OUT” is set to “OFF”. NOTE 2: When playing sources recorded in monaural, the sound will be one-sided if signals are only input to one channel (left or right), so input signals to both channels. If you have a source component with only one audio output (monophonic camcorder, etc.) obtain a “Y” adapter cable to split the mono output to two outputs, and connect to the L and R inputs. • Depending on the program source being played, the effect may not be very noticeable. In this case, try other surround modes, without worrying about their names, to create a sound field suited to your tastes. 34 ENGLISH ENGLISH Basic Operation Basic Operation Selecting the DSP surround simulation FG G, SELECT/ENTER ¢ To operate the surround mode and the surround parameters from the remote control unit 1 Press [DSP SIMULATION].
