Introduction Preparations Basic Operation Basic Playback Selecting a Sound Field Program You can enhance your listening experience by selecting a DSP sound field program. The 25 DSP sound field programs are divided into 12 DSP program groups. 10KEY/DSP 1 Set 10KEY/DSP on the remote to DSP. 2 Press the DSP button on main unit and rotate the Multi jog knob to select the desired sound field program. 6.1/ES If you want to utilize the Rear Center speaker with a 5.1 channel program source, press 6.1/ ES. Notes: • If a DTS or Dolby Digital signal is input when the input mode is set to "AUTO", the sound field program automatically switches to the appropriate decoding program. • Choose a sound field program based on your listening preference, not on the name of the program. The acoustics of your listening room affect the sound field program. Minimize the sound reflections in your room to maximize the effect created by the program. • When you select an input source, the main unit automatically selects the last sound field program used with that source. • When you turn off the main unit, the current source and sound field program are memorized and are automatically selected when you turn on the power again. • When high rate 96 kHz sampling digital signals are output from source equipment, the DSP sound field cannot operate on the source sounds. In this case, the sounds are reproduced as normal 2-channel stereo. Hi-Fi DSP Programs Concert Hall 1 Europe Hall A Europe Hall B Concert Hall 2 U.S.A.
