[. . . ] Screen Depth Matching In a movie theatre, sound seems to come from inside the image reflected on the movie screen. This element creates the same sensation in your listening room by shifting the sound of the front speakers "into" the screen. Cinema Studio EX is the integrated mode which operates these elements simultaneously. The virtual speaker effect may cause increased noise in the playback signal. When listening with sound fields that employ virtual speakers, you will not be able to hear any sound coming directly from the surround speakers. This mode outputs the sound from the headphone L/R. Standard 2 channel (stereo) sources completely bypass the sound field processing. Multi channel surround formats are downmixed to two channels. This mode outputs the sound as surround from headphone L/R. To turn the surround effect off Press SOUND FIELD +/­ on the remote repeatedly until the sound field you want appears in the front panel display. Dolby Pro Logic produces five output channels from two-channel sources. This mode performs Pro Logic decoding to the input signal and output to front, centre, and surround speakers. This function is unavailable when playing Super Audio CDs and when the input stream is dts 2048 frame. When the input signal is multi channel source, AUTO FORMAT DIRECT PRO LOGIC, AUTO FORMAT DIRECT PRO LOGICII MOVIE/MUSIC are cancelled and the multi channel source is output directly. Dolby Pro LogicII produces five full-bandwidth output channels from two-channel sources. This is done using an advanced, high-purity matrix surround decoder that extracts the spatial properties of the original recording without adding any new sounds or tonal colorations. Whenever you select a function such as DVD or TUNER, the sound field that was last applied to function is automatically applied again. For example, if you listen to DVD with HALL as the sound field, then change to another function, and then return to DVD, HALL will be applied again. With the tuner, sound fields are memorized separately for all preset stations. Obtains maximum audio impact from video game software. You can adjust the subwoofer according to the playback source.
