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, sound is
reproduced 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.

Program
Descriptions
Standard
Creates a sound field that emphasizes the surrounding feeling without disturbing the original acoustic positioning
of multi-channel audio such as Dolby Digital and DTS. The design concept of this sound field is “an ideal movie
theater,” in which the audience is surrounded by beautiful reverberations from the left, right and rear.
Spectacle
Creates a spectacular sound field that produces a sense of magnificent scale. This sound field program features a
wide dynamic range that reproduces a broad theater sound field matching cinemascope and wider-screen movies,
from tiny sound effects to big acoustics.
Sci-Fi
Creates a clear sound field that allows you to enjoy the finely elaborated sound design of the latest science fiction
and SFX movies. Different atmospheres can be vividly reproduced while dialog, sound effects and background
music are clearly separated.
Adventure
Creates a sound field ideal for action and adventure movies, reproducing a sense of power by reducing
reverberations and emphasizing a horizontal soundscape. A clear and powerful atmosphere is reproduced while
maintaining separation of audio channels and sound clarity with a shallower depth of feeling.
