Program
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.
