For details, see pages 75, 76. w DSP Simulation Playback The desired mode according to the program source and viewing situation can be selected from among 10 DENON original surround modes. The surround parameters can be adjusted (vpage 73, 74) to achieve an even more realistic, powerful sound field. Selecting the surround mode Select by press DSP SIMULATION. The mode switches each time the button is pressed.

MATRIX : This mode lets you add a sense of expansion to stereo music sources. VIRTUAL : This mode is for enjoying surround effects using only the front speakers or headphones. z1: "5CH STEREO" is displayed when "Surround Parameter" - "SB CH Out" is "OFF", and "Amp Assign" is set to except "7.1ch" (vpage 32, 44). z2: Can also be selected by pressing [7CH STEREO]. z3: When playing sources recorded in monaural in the MONO MOVIE mode, the sound will be off balance with a single channel (left or right), so input to both channels. Depending on the program source being played, it may not be possible to achieve a satisfactory surround effect. In this case, try other modes to achieve a sound field suited to your tastes. e Direct Playback Selecting the mode Select by press DIRECT/STEREO. [Selectable items] DIRECT : In this mode the signals bypass the tone adjustment circuitry for high quality sound. The sound is output to the same channels as the input signal.
