Everyday Use
Sound field programmes
The unit is equipped with a digital sound field processor which contains several
sound field programmes which you can use to enhance your listening pleasure.
Most of the sound field programmes are precise digital reproductions of acoustic
environments which actually exist whether famous concert halls, music perform-
ance venues and cinemas.
The numerous reflections from the walls of the room are an important factor which
contribute towards producing the rich, full sound of a real instrument. These re-
flections not only bring the sound to life, but also allow the listener to locate the
precise position of the instruments and to define the size and shape of the room
the listener is sitting in.
