DSP SURROUND SIMULATION

This unit is equipped with a high performance DSP (Digital Signal Processor) which uses digital signal processing
to synthetically recreate the sound field. One of 7 preset surround modes can be selected according to the
program source and the parameters can be adjusted according to the conditions in the listening room to achieve
a more realistic, powerful sound. These surround modes can also be used for program sources not recorded in
Dolby Surround Pro Logic or Dolby Digital.

Select this mode to enjoy a virtual sound field, produced from the front 2-channel
speakers.
Use this mode to achieve the feeling of a live concert in an arena with reflected
sounds coming from all directions.
This mode creates the sound field of a live house with a low ceiling and hard walls.
This mode gives jazz a very vivid realism.
Use this to enjoy video game sources.
Select this when watching monaural movies for a greater sense of expansion.
Select this to emphasize the sense of expansion for music sources recorded in stereo.
Signals consisting of the difference component of the input signals (the component
that provides the sense of expansion) processed for delay are output from the surround
channel.
In this mode, the signals of the front left channel are output from the left surround
channel, the signals of the front right channel are output from the right surround
channel, and the same (in-phase) component of the left and right channels is output
from the center channel. This mode provides all speaker surround sound, but without
directional steering effects, and works with any stereo program source.
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.
NOTE 1: 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
