SOUND FIELD PROGRAM
This unit incorporates a sophisticated, multi-program digital sound field processor (DSP). This processor allows you to
electronically expand and change the shape of the audio sound field from both audio and video sources, creating a
theater-like experience in your listening room. You can create outstanding audio sound field by selecting a suitable DSP
program (this will, of course, depend on what you are listening to) and making desired adjustments.
The following list gives you a brief description of the sound fields produced by each of the DSP programs. Keep in
mind that most of these are precise digital recreations of actual acoustic environments.
Note
• Select the DSP program that you feel sounds best regardless of the name and description given for it below.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
No. Program (group) Sub-program Features
1 CONCERT HALL — 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.
2 CHURCH — This program recreates the acoustic environment of a big church with a high
dome and columns along each side. The reverberation delay is very long while
the early reflections are smaller than with other sound field programs.
3 JAZZ CLUB — 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.
4 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.
5 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.
5ch Stereo
Note
• If “1A CENTER SP” on the SET MENU is set to NONE, no sound is output from the center speaker.
Using this program increases the listening position range. This is a sound field
suitable for background music at parties.
