Notes
•
Sound field programs are stored for each input source. When you change the input source, the sound field program previously selected for that input
source is applied again.
•
When you play back the Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, DTS Express, DTS-HD Master Audio, or DTS-HD High Resolution Audio sources, this unit
does not apply any sound field program other than the surround decoder and they are played back in straight decode mode.
•
If the sampling frequency of an input source is higher than 96 kHz, this unit does not apply any sound field programs.
This unit provides sound field programs for multiple categories including music, movies and stereo reproduction. Select
a sound field program based on your listening preference, not merely on the name of the program, etc.

Descriptions
Standard
This program creates a sound field emphasizing the surrounding feeling without disturbing the original acoustic
positioning of multi-channel audio such as Dolby Digital and DTS. It has been designed with the concept of “an
ideal movie theater,” in which the audience is surrounded by beautiful reverberations from the left, right and rear.
Spectacle
This program represents the spectacular feeling of large-scale movie productions.
It reproduces a broad theater sound field matching the cinemascope and wider-screen movies with an excellent
dynamic range from very small to extremely large sound.
Sci-Fi
This program clearly reproduces the finely elaborated sound design of the latest science fiction and special effects-
featuring movies.
You can enjoy a variety of cinematographically created virtual spaces reproduced with clear separation between
dialog, sound effects and background music.
Adventure
This program is ideal for precisely reproducing the sound design of action and adventure movies.
The sound field restrains reverberations but puts emphasis on reproducing a powerful space expanded widely to
the left and right. The reproduced depth is also restrained relatively to ensure the separation between audio
channels and the clarity of the sound.
