The DSP (Digital Signal Processor) surround circuits can recreate the effect of sounds reflected from walls or
ceilings, to obtain the sound presence of real environments.  There are four modes with matching graphic
equalization modes.  Equalization modes are selected automatically and can also be selected or turned off to suit
your preference.

Press one of the DSP buttons (DANCE, LIVE, HALL, or ARENA).

The selected mode name appears on the display for two seconds, and the selected DSP and matching GEQ modes on
the display are enclosed with parentheses.

When the music source is monaural
Select LIVE to obtain a simulated stereo effect.  When DANCE or HALL is selected, no sound will be heard from
the surround speakers.

To cancel the selected mode
Press the selected button again.  "DSP oFF" appears on the display.  Even if canceling the selected DSP mode, the
matching or selected GEQ mode still remains.  While the DSP surround system is off, no sound is heard from the
surround speakers.

To select with the remote control
Press the DSP button repeatedly until the desired DSP mode is displayed.

To adjust the volume of the surround speakers
Press the MANUAL SELECT button once.  "SUR" is displayed for four seconds.  Press the Up

 or DOWN

button while "SUR" is displayed.
Note that the Dolby Pro Logic surround speakers level is also changed (see page 13).

NOTE
The DSP system is automatically canceled when the 5 CH  surround or DOLBY PRO LOGIC is turned on.
