SOUND FIELD PROGRAM
This unit incorporates a sophisticated, multi-program digital sound field processor (DSP). This processor allows you to
electronically expand and change the shape of the audio sound field from both audio and video sources, creating a
theater-like experience in your listening room. You can create outstanding audio sound field by selecting a suitable DSP
program (this will, of course, depend on what you are listening to) and making desired adjustments.
The following list gives you a brief description of the sound fields produced by each of the DSP programs. Keep in
mind that most of these are precise digital recreations of actual acoustic environments.
Note
• Select the DSP program that you feel sounds best regardless of the name and description given for it below.

CONCERT HALL 2

A large round concert hall with a rich surround effect. Pronounced reflections
from all directions emphasize the extension of sounds. The sound field has a great
deal of presence, and your virtual seat is near the center, close to the stage.

CHURCH

This program recreates the acoustic environment of a big church with a high
dome and columns along each side. The reverberation delay is very long while
the early reflections are smaller than with other sound field programs.

JAZZ CLUB

This is the sound field at stage front in “The Bottom Line”, a famous New York
jazz club. The floor can seat 300 people to the left and right in a sound field
offering a real and vibrant sound.

ROCK CONCERT
—
The ideal program for lively, dynamic rock music. The data for this program was
recorded at LA’s “hottest” rock club. The listener’s virtual seat is at the center-left
of the hall.

STADIUM
—
This program gives you the long delays and extraordinarily spacious feel of an
outdoor stadium in Los Angeles that is no less than 300 meters (990 feet) in
diameter.

ENTERTAINMENT
Disco
This program recreates the acoustic environment of a lively disco in the heart of a
big city. The sound is dense and highly concentrated. It is also characterized by a
high-energy, “immediate” sound.
6ch Stereo
Using this program increases the listening position range. This is a sound field
suitable for background music at parties.
Note
• If “1A CENTER SP” on the SET MENU is set to NONE, no sound is output from the center speaker.
This is a large fan-shaped concert hall which has approximately 2500 seats.
Almost the whole interior is made of wood. There is relatively little reflection
from the walls, and sound spreads finely and beautifully.
