DSP SURROUND SIMULATION
*
This
unit
is
equipped
with
a
high
performance
DSP
(Digital
Signal
Processor)
which
uses
digital
signal
processing
to
synthetically
recreate
the
sound
field.
One
of
7
preset
surround
modes
can
be
selected
according
to
the
program
source
and
the
parameters
can
be
adjusted
according
to
the
conditions
in
the
listening
room
to
achieve
a
more
realistic,
powerful
sound.
These
surround
modes
can
also
be
used
for
program
sources
not
recorded
in
Dolby
Surround
Pro
Logic
or
Dolby
Digital.

% Depending on the program source being played, the effect may not be very noticeable.
In
this
case,
try
other
surround
modes,
without
worrying
about
their
names,
to
create
a
sound
field
suited
to
your
tastes.
NOTE
1:
When
playing
sources
recorded
in
monaural,
the
sound
will
be
one-sided
if
signals
are
only
input
to
one
channel
(left
or
right),
so
input
signals
to
both
channels.
If
you
have
a
source
component
with
only
one
audio
output
(monophonic
camcorder,
etc.)
obtain
a
“Y”
adaptor
cable
to
split
the
mono
output to
two
outputs,
and
connect
to
the
L and
R
inputs.
NOTE:
Only
the
STEREO
mode
can
be
used
when
playing
PCM
signals
with
a
sampling
frequency
of
96
kHz
(such
as
from
DVD-Video
discs
that
contain
24
bit,
96
kHz
audio).
If
such
signals
are
input
during
playback
in
one
of
the
other
surround
modes,
the
mode
automatically
switches
to STEREO.
{f
the
DTS
signals
are
input
during
playback
in
VIRTUAL
surround
mode,
the
mode
automatically
switches
to
STEREO.
Personal Memory Plus
This
set
is
equipped
with
a
personal
memorize
function
that
automatically
memorizes
the
surround
modes
and
input
modes
selected
for
the
input
different
sources.
When
the
input
source
is
switched,
the
modes
set
for
that
source
last
time
it
was
used
are
automatically
recalled.
