Ambience effects DSP mode The DSP mode lets you add the atmosphere of a live concert or hall to almost any type of program source. These modes are particularly effective when used with stereo program sources, like CD, television, and FM radio. You might enjoy trying the ARENA, JAZZ CLUB, THEATER, STADIUM or DISCO mode the next time you watch a concert or sporting event! What's DSP? DSP stands for Digital Signal Processor. The way a sound is heard in an actual environment depends on a variety of different factors. One of the most important is reverberation (the act of decaying elements of sound echoing in various places). The DSP modes produce the feeling of presence by using the DSP to create reverberation, without spoiling the sound quality of the original signal. DVD 6-channel mode Using a DVD player or the like equipped with six (5.1) output channels and this model, you can enjoy multi-channel encoded DVD source material in all its splendor. Since the source signals are digital and each channel is input independently, the resulting sound quality, sense of spaciousness, and dynamic range are superb. The indication "6CH INPUT" appears in the display during DVD 6channel mode selection. Surround play The DTS compatible models can reproduce a CD, DVD, or LD carrying the DTS mark. DOLBY DIGITAL can be used when playing DVD or LD software bearing the mark and DOLBY DIGITAL format digital broadcasts (etc.). DOLBY PRO LOGIC can be used when playing video, DVD, or LD software bearing the mark.

The listening mode settings are stored separately for each input. If the input mode is set to full auto ("AUTO DETECT" lights), the receiver selects the optimal listening mode automatically based on the type of input signal and the speaker settings. Each turn of the LISTEN MODE knob or press of the Listen Mode 5/ ∞ keys switches the setting as listed below. The listening mode settings are different depending on the type of input signal. Dolby Digital Surround EX compliant disc : Dolby Digital Surround EX compliant disc contains identification signals. When you choose FULL AUTO during "Input mode settings" (8), this amplifier detects the identification signals and change the LISTEN mode to the DOLBY DIGITAL EX (Dolby Digital Surround EX mode) automatically. But sometimes we find some discs which are Dolby Digital Surround EX compliant disc but it does not contain the identification signals. If you find the notice like "Surround EX" on the label of disc or package, you can choose DOLBY DIGITAL EX, then you can enjoy Dolby Digital Surround EX sound. 28 EN
