1 CONCERT HALL —
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 encoded
with a Dolby Digital or DTS signal. If 5CH STEREO is selected, the sound is output from all speakers regardless of the input source.)
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.
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.
3 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.
4 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.

No. Program (group) Sub-program Features
4 ENTERTAINMENT GAME This program adds a deep and spatial feeling to video game sounds.
5 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.
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. 6 MONO MOVIE —
