Lastly, the 5/7-CH STEREO mode simply outputs a stereo signal through all of your speakers. 2PL II MUSIC (2PRO LOGIC II MUSIC)* This mode gives 5. 1 channel surround sound and is suitable for music. Compared to the Movie Mode PRO LOGIC, the surround effect is more enveloping. With sources other than stereo (5. 1, etc. ) the display will automatically show the type of decoding being employed (Dolby Digital, DTS-ES, etc. ). NEO:6 MUSIC* This mode gives 6. 1 channel surround sound and is suitable for music. The NEO:6 Music mode plays the stereo source as is through the front left/right speakers, and generates a natural, ambient surround and center sound. With sources other than stereo (5. 1, etc. ) the display will automatically show the type of decoding being employed (Dolby Digital, DTS-ES, etc. ). CLASSICAL Simulates the acoustic effects of a large concert hall. A long delay time of reflected sounds, coupled with reverb effects, let the listener experience the dynamic and rich sounds characteristic of concert halls and powerful orchestral performances. CHAMBER Simulates the acoustic environment of a very resonant concert hall. Rich reverberation and a full sound create the impression of a lively performance space. JAZZ Simulates the acoustic effects of a jazz club. Reflected sound is virtually below 100 msec so that the listener can experience a live band effect. ROCK Simulates the acoustic effects of a mid-sized concert hall. The listener can experience a live band effect with good separation of the instruments, a strong bass and the vivid feeling of a live performance. DANCE Simulates the acoustic effects of a dance club. Reflected sound delay time is virtually below 50 msec, for the listener to experience the visceral power of dance music. 5/7-CH STEREO Simulates the acoustic environment of a regular stereo while using all the speakers in the system to induce a rich, all-around sound. The display will change to 5-CH STEREO or 7-CH STEREO according to the SB CH MODE and speaker configuration. a multichannel signal the decoding is done automatically so you cannot choose these 45 BASIC Basic Operation Adjusting the Effect of a Listening Mode The DSP (Digital Signal Processing) listening modes have sound processing added to accentuate a certain kind of atmosphere or effect (see the preceding pages for explanation).
