• A.F.D. AUTO: Auto Format Direct Auto
• HP 2CH: This mode outputs the sound from
headphone L/R. Standard 2 channel (stereo)
sources completely bypass the sound field
processing. Multi channel surround formats
are downmixed to two channels.
• HP SURR: This mode outputs sound with
reverberations.
• HP VIRTUAL: This mode outputs the sound
as surround from headphone L/R.
• LINK: The front speaker channels are output
at both the front and surround speaker.
• PLII MOVIE: Performs Pro Logic II movie
mode decoding. This setting is ideal for
movies encoded in Dolby Surround. In
addition, this mode can reproduce sound in
5.1 channels when watching videos of
overdubbed or old movies.
• PLII MUSIC: Performs the Pro Logic II
music mode decoding. This setting is ideal for
normal stereo sources such as CDs.
• PRO LOGIC: Performs Pro Logic decoding.
The source recorded in 2 channels is decoded
into 4.1 channels.
• SBS MULTI: Sound Broad System Multi
mode. This mode lets you enjoy audio
playback of all types of discs from multiple
speakers.
• VIRTUAL A: Creates 3 sets of virtual
surround speakers from the sound of the
actual front speakers (L/R).
• VIRTUAL B: Creates 1 set of virtual
surround speakers from the sound of the front
speakers (L/R) without using actual surround
speakers. This mode is effective when the
distance between the front L and R speakers is
short.
• V.M.DIM.: Creates an array of virtual
surround speaker positions higher than the
listener from a single set of actual surround
speakers. This mode creates 5 pairs of virtual
speakers surrounding the listener at
approximately a 30
°
angle of elevation. The
effect differs according to the “BEHIND” or
“SIDE” setting of the surround speakers
(page 47).
• 2CH STEREO: This mode outputs the sound
from the left and right speakers. Standard 2
channel (stereo) sources completely bypass
the sound field processing. Multi channel
surround formats are downmixed to two
channels.
This allows you to play any source using the
left and right speakers.
• 2CH SURR: This mode outputs sound with
reverberations.
Notes
• For some discs, the surround effect may not be as
much as expected.
• For DHC-AZ7DM, if “NONE” is selected in
surround speaker setup, no sound will be output from
the surround speakers even if “LINK” is selected.
