tener.

Mono Movie
This mode is suitable for old movies and other mono sources.
The center speaker outputs the sound as it is, while reverb is
applied to the sound output by the other speakers, giving pres-
ence to even mono material.
Orchestra
Suitable for classical or operatic music, this mode emphasizes
the surround channels in order to widen the stereo image, and
simulates the natural reverberation of a large hall.
Unplugged
Suitable for acoustic instruments, vocals, and jazz, this mode
emphasizes the front stereo image, giving the impression of
being right in front of the stage.
Studio-Mix
Suitable for rock or pop music, listening to music in this mode
creates a lively sound field with a powerful acoustic image, like
being at a club or rock concert.
TV Logic
This mode adds realistic acoustics to TV shows produced in a TV
studio, surround effects to the entire sound, and clarity to voices.
Game-RPG Use this mode when playing role playing game discs.
Game-Action Use this mode when playing action game discs.
Game-Rock Use this mode when playing rock game discs.
Game-Sports
Use this mode when playing sports game discs.
All Ch Stereo
Ideal for background music, this mode fills the entire listening
area with stereo sound from the front, surround, and surround
back speakers.
Full Mono
In this mode, all speakers output the same sound in mono, so
the sound you hear is the same regardless of where you are
within the listening room.
T-D (Theater-
Dimensional)
With this mode, you can enjoy virtual surround sound even with
only two or three speakers. This works by controlling how
sounds reach the listener’s left and right ears.
Good results may not be possible if there’s too much reverb, so
we recommend that you use this mode in an environment with
little or no natural reverb.
See “Front 5.1ch” on page 42 to get the best result from this mode.
