Listening Mode Effects
In alphabetical order
±
Action
Mode suitable for movies with a lot of action scenes.
•
The speaker calibrations measured with Dirac Live are disabled.
±
AdvancedGame
Mode suitable for game content.
•
The speaker calibrations measured with Dirac Live are disabled.
±
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.
•
The speaker calibrations measured with Dirac Live are disabled.
±
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/Dirac Live 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
–
Atmos 3.0/3.1
