acoustics of concert halls and movie theater. Direct sound,
early reflection, and reverberation. The acoustic quality of a
room depends on how that room reproduces these three
sounds.
» The DSP mode remains while the power is turned off.
» Noise may occur when switching the DSP modes and Effect levels.
» When using the DSP mode, large outputs from the player may cause

LEVEL control.
