FRONT-3 STEREO
The surround sound is muted. 3 Stereo lets you listen to
surround sound without using the surround speakers.
STEREO
All sound is reproduced and played through the front left and
right speakers. This enables standard stereo reproduction.
Virtual Surround
Your receiver is able to reproduce one or more forms of virtual
surround sound. Virtual surround gives a more real life sound
impression by creating phantom speakers in addition to or
instead of real speakers. The position of the listener
influences the surround effect. The area where the effect is
best is shown in grey.
The level of virtual surround sound effect can be adjusted in
the setup menu. The following surround sound modes are
available.
3D SURROUND
No rear speakers are needed. The sound of the rear channel
is simulated by the front speakers. Surround sound is
simulated through the front left, right and center speakers.
MULTI FRONT
Phantom speakers are created next to the left and right front
speaker.
MULTI REAR
Phantom speakers are created next to the left and right rear
speaker.
NATURAL SURROUND
Phantom speakers are created next to the left and right front
and rear speakers.
Note: The availability of
MULTI FRONT
and
MULTI REAR
depends on the sound channels on the
source material.
NIGHT MODE
(only on the remote control)
The loud parts of the sound are lowered and the soft passages
are raised. You can enjoy surround sound without disturbing
sleeping children or neighbors. Night mode only works with
Dolby Digital, and only if supported by the source material.
