surround effect.

listening environment by simulating a softer (S)
or harder (H) wall. The midpoint designates a
neutral wall (made of wood).

Lets you control the spacing of the early
reflections to simulate a sonically longer (L) or
shorter (S) room. The midpoint designates a
standard room with no adjustment.
Front reverberation (FRONT
REVERB)
This parameter can be used when “D.
CONCERT HALL A, B” is selected. This
parameter lets you adjust the amount of
reverberations to add to the front signals
according to the original reverberations in the
source.
To increase front reverberations, select “WET”.
To decrease front reverberations, select “DRY”.
Screen depth (SCREEN DEPTH)
In a movie theater, sound seems to come from
inside the image reflected on the movie screen.
This parameter lets you create the same
sensation in your listening room by shifting the
sound of the front speakers “into” the screen.
“DEEP” provides the greatest amount of screen
depth.
Virtual speakers (VIR. SPEAKERS)
Allows you turn to the virtual speakers created
by “CINEMA STUDIO EX A, B, C” on or off.
