Game -Ro c k Game-Sports Game - S p o r t s All Ch Stereo A l l Ch S t e r eo Full Mono F u l l Mo n o T-D (TheaterDimensional) T-D In this mode, reverberation is increased and sound localization decreased slightly. Ideal for background music, this mode fills the entire listening area with stereo sound from the front, surround, and surround back speakers. In this mode, all speakers output the same sound in mono, so the sound you hear is the same regardless of where you are within the listening room. With this mode you can enjoy a virtual surround sound even with only two or three speakers. This works by controlling how sounds reach the listener's left and right ears. Good results may not be possible if there's too much reverb, so we recommend that you use this mode in an environment with little or no natural reverb. 9$/*1 ;9$ / ■ Listening Modes Listening Mode Pure Audio*2 Pu r eAAu d i o Direct Di rec t Stereo St e r eo Mono Mo n o Multichannel Mu l t i c h Description Input Source In this mode, the display and video circuitry are turned off, minimizing " possible noise sources for the ultimate in high-fidelity audio reproduction. 4 A/V Sync does not have effect on the analog audio.
