Listening Mode Effects In alphabetical order Action Mode suitable for movies with a lot of action scenes. AdvancedGame Mode suitable for game content. Classical Suitable for classical or operatic music. This mode emphasizes the surround channels in order to widen the sound image, and simulates the natural reverberation of a large hall. Direct/Pure Direct The "Direct" mode shuts down some processing that can affect sound quality, such as the tone control features, so you can enjoy even better sound quality. The "Pure Direct" mode shuts down even more processes that affects sound quality, so you get a more faithful reproduction of the original sound. In this case, the speaker calibration made with MCACC is invalid. Atmos Since this mode calculates the positional data of audio recorded in Dolby Atmos audio in real-time and outputs it from appropriate speakers, you can enjoy the natural and stereophonic sound field of Dolby Atmos with any speaker layout including connection of only front speakers. Also, the Dolby Atmos sound design can be reproduced more faithfully by connecting surround back speakers or height speakers. You can select this mode when inputting the Dolby Atmos audio format. Unlike existing surround systems, Dolby Atmos does not rely on channels, but rather enables the accurate placement of sound objects that have independent motion in a 3D space with even greater clarity. Dolby Atmos is an optional audio format for Blu-ray Discs and achieves a more stereophonic sound field by introducing a sound field above the listener. According to the speaker layout, the following listening modes are displayed. - Atmos 2.0/2.1: When only front speakers are installed Appendix - Atmos 3.0/3.1: When front speakers and center speaker are installed - Atmos 4.0/4.1: When front speakers and surround speakers are installed - Atmos 5.0/5.1: When front speakers, center speaker and surround speakers are installed - Atmos 6.0/6.1: When front speakers, surround speakers and surround back speakers are installed - Atmos 7.0/7.1: When front speakers, center speaker, surround speakers and surround back speakers are installed - Atmos 2.0.2/2.1.2: When front speakers and height speakers are installed - Atmos 3.0.2/3.1.2: When front speakers, center speaker and height speakers are installed - Atmos: Selectable in the "4.1.2 ch" or "5.1.2 ch" setting with surround speakers and height speakers installed. • To enable transfer of this audio format, connect via an HDMI cable and set the audio output on the player to Bitstream output. • When "Speaker Virtualizer" ( →p118) is set to "Off" (Default: On), modes other than Atmos cannot be selected. DD (Dolby Audio - DD) This mode faithfully reproduces the sound design recorded in the Dolby Digital audio format. Dolby Digital is a multi-channel digital format developed by Dolby Laboratories, Inc. and is widely adopted for use in movie production. It is also a standard audio format for DVD-Video and Blu-ray Discs. It is possible to record a maximum of 5.1 channels on a DVD-Video or Blu-ray Disc; two front channels, one center channel, two surround channels, and the LFE channel dedicated to the bass region (sound elements for the subwoofer). • To enable transfer of this audio format, connect via a digital cable and set the audio output on the player to Bitstream output. 167
