Listening in Surround Sound
Listening in DSP Mode
The DSP (Digital Signal Processing) modes transform your living room into a variety of different sound
environments when playing standard (two channel) stereo sources. Optionally, you can adjust the amount of
effect added to the source. The descriptions below give an idea of what the five different modes sound like, but
the best idea is to play a source and experiment.
HALL
Simulates the acoustic environment of a large
classical concert hall. Long delay and reverb decay
times create a sense of music being played in a
large space.
JAZZ
Simulates the acoustic environment of a jazz club.
Shorter delay times and a tighter reverb help to give
the sound a live, small club feel.

You can adjust the effect level within an range of 10–90 (the default
settinig is 50).
• All DSP effect levels are independent of each other.
• You can input level settings specifically for each DSP mode
and this will enhance your surround sound experience.
• If you turn the speakers off, DSP goes off as well.
• When the speakers are off you can't use the DSP mode.
• You can't use the tone controls, the DIRECT function with
DSP mode.

sound of a dance music club.
THEATER 1
Simulates the acoustic environment of a mid-sized
movie theater.

localization of each channel.
