Sound Modes

Learning about the Sound Modes

The sound modes are explained here.

There are two cinema modes: STANDARD, and ADVANCED THEATER. These are designed to be used with multi

channel surround sound audio/visual sources (like DVDs and LDs). Intrinsic to home theater, these modes can

deliver realistic and powerful surround sound that recreates the movie theater experience. You may need to

experiment with them to see which settings suit your home system and personal tastes.

The DSP and STEREO modes are designed to be used with music sources but some DSP modes are also suited

for film soundtracks. Again, try different settings with various soundtracks to see which you like.

STANDARD mode

This mode is for pure decoding of Dolby Digital, DTS and Dolby Surround. No special effects are added. It is good

for enjoying movies that have been recorded in Dolby Digital, DTS or Dolby Surround.

You can identify Dolby Digital software by the

marks. Most Dolby Surround software is

marked

, but unmarked software may also incorporate Dolby Surround.

ADVANCED THEATER modes

MUSICAL

Simulates the acoustic environment of a large concert hall and is suitable for music or musical sources

marked

(

) or

DRAMA

Simulates the relaxed environment of a classic medium size movie theater, and is suitable for watching

dramas on sources marked

(

) or

ACTION

Simulates the acoustic environment of a modern large movie theater. You can enjoy the power and

dynamics of motion picture audio which is suitable for action movies on sources marked

EXPANDED

This mode is especially designed to give sound depth to stereo sources. The overall effect builds a dynamic

and broad sound space, allowing two-channel (stereo) signals to faithfully imitate a five speaker sound. Use

with Dolby Pro Logic for a stereo surround effect. You can also use with Dolby Digital sources for a wider stereo

field than STANDARD mode.

DSP modes

The DSP (Digital Signal Processing) modes allow you to transform your living room into a variety of different

sonic environments when playing standard (two-channel) stereo sources, Dolby Pro Logic sources, and Dolby

Digital sources. If you try to add this effect to functions which can not use it “SP off” flashes in the display.

HALL 1

Simulates the acoustic environment of a large concert hall of wooden construction. Complex delay of

reflected sounds coupled with reverberation effects create a dynamic and beautiful sound characteristic

of an orchestra performing in a concert hall, making it suitable for classical music

HALL 2

Simulates the acoustic environment of a concert hall with stone walls. The rich reverberations and natural

fullness of the sound create the auditory impression of being in a concert hall, making it suitable for

classical music.

JAZZ

Simulates the acoustic environment of a jazz club. Less delay on the reflected sounds emphasizes the

sensation of hearing a live band.

DANCE

Simulates the acoustic environment and strong bass sound of a nightclub with a square dance floor. A

short delay on the reflected sounds emulates the raw power of the dance music.

THEATER 1

Adjusts the delay of the reflected sound to simulate the acoustic environment of a medium sized movie

theater.

THEATER 2

Simulates the acoustic environment of a theater while maintaining proper localization of each channel.
