Sound Modes
Learning about the Sound Modes
The sound modes are explained here.
There are two cinema modes: 2 STANDARD, and ADVANCED THEATER. These are designed to be used with multi
channel surround sound audio/visual sources (like DVDs and LDs). Intrinsic to home theater, these modes can deliver
realistic and powerful surround sound that recreates the movie theater experience. You may need to experiment with
them to see which settings suit your home system and personal tastes.
The DSP and STEREO modes are designed to be used with music sources but some DSP modes are also suited for
film soundtracks. Again, try different settings with various soundtracks to see which you like.
2 (STANDARD) mode
This mode is for pure decoding of Dolby Digital, DTS and Dolby Surround sources. No special effects are added. It is
good for enjoying movies that have been recorded in Dolby Digital, DTS or Dolby Surround.
You can identify Dolby Digital software by the 1 or
marks. Most Dolby Surround software is
marked 3, but unmarked software may also incorporate Dolby Surround.
ADVANCED THEATER modes
MUSICAL
Simulates the acoustic environment of a large concert hall and is suitable for music or musical sources marked 1
( ) or
R
.
DRAMA
Simulates the relaxed environment of a classic medium size movie theater, and is suitable for watching dramas on
sources marked 1 ( ) or
R
.
ACTION
Simulates the acoustic environment of a large modern movie theater. You can enjoy the power and dynamics of
motion picture audio which is best used with action movies on sources marked 1 ,
or
R
.
EXPANDED (VSX-D710S)
This mode is especially designed to give sound depth to stereo sources. The overall effect builds a dynamic and broad
sound space, allowing two-channel (stereo) signals to faithfully imitate a five speaker sound. Use with Dolby Pro
Logic for a stereo surround effect. You can also use with Dolby Digital sources for a wider stereo field than
STANDARD mode.
5/6-D THEATER (VSX-D810S/D850S)
This mode is especially designed to give sound depth to stereo sources. The overall effect builds a dynamic and
broad sound space, allowing two-channel (stereo) signals to faithfully imitate a six speaker sound. The mode should
be used in conjunction with Dolby Pro Logic for sources bearing the
DOLBY SURROUND
mark.
