Sound field programmes
This 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 performance
venues or cinemas.
An important factor which contributes towards producing the rich, full sound of
a real instrument is the numerous reflections from the walls of the room. These
reflections 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.
Using the colour keys you can select the following sound field programmes
based on your own listening preferences while playing back music, films or sport
programmes.
