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.
5CH STEREO
Using this program increases the listening position range. This is a sound field
suitable for background music at parties.
Note
• Reverberations (sound effects) for realizing the sound field and unprocessed stereo from the left and right main speakers is output.
The sound is not output from the center speaker. (The sound is output when one of these programs is selected while playing a source

MONO MOVIE
—
This program is provided for reproducing monaural video sources (such as old
movies). The program produces the optimum reverberation to create sound depth
by using only the presence sound field.

TV SPORTS
—
Although the presence sound field is relatively narrow, the surround sound field
employs the sound environment of a large concert hall. With this program, you
can enjoy watching various TV programs such as news, variety shows, music
programs or sports programs. In a stereo broadcast of a sports game, the
commentator is oriented at the center position, and the shouts and the
atmosphere in the stadium spread on the surround side, while their spread to the
rear is properly restrained.
