■ DENON DSP Surround Modes Add Listening Excitement
Put yourself in the middle of your favorite concert hall and music environments
with DENON's DSP acoustic environment simulation modes. These
DSP modes add spacious surround sound enhancements to your
favorite music and video sources, and include these distinctly different
sounding effects:
1. 5 Channel Stereo 5. Video Game
2. Virtual Surround 6. Matrix
3. Rock Arena 7. Mono Movie
4. Jazz Club
■ Cinema Equalizer
The sound from movie sources recorded in Dolby Digital, DTS or other
formats emphasizes correction of components that deteriorate in the
high-frequency range due to the movie screen. If this sound is reproduced
in the home theater without correction, the high-frequency range is too
strong. The AVR-881 features a Cinema Equalizer to correct these
high-frequency components so that the sound is clearer and easier to
listen to. (For Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic, and DTS surround modes)
