ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
No. Program (group) Sub-program Features
1 CONCERT HALL —
A large round concert hall with a rich surround effect. Pronounced reflections
from all directions emphasize the extension of sounds. The sound field has a great
deal of presence, and your virtual seat is near the center, close to the stage.
2 JAZZ CLUB — This is the sound field at stage front in “The Bottom Line”, a famous New York
jazz club. The floor can seat 300 people to the left and right in a sound field
offering a real and vibrant sound.
3 ROCK CONCERT —
The ideal program for lively, dynamic rock music. The data for this program was
recorded at LA’s “hottest” rock club. The listener’s virtual seat is at the center-left
of the hall.
4 ENTERTAINMENT DISCO
This program recreates the acoustic environment of a lively disco in the heart of a
big city. The sound is dense and highly concentrated. It is also characterized by a
high-energy, “immediate” sound.
5CH STEREO
Using this program increases the listening position range. This is a sound field
suitable for background music at parties.
Note
• Reverberations (sound effects) for realizing the sound field and unprocessed stereo from the left and right main speakers is output.
The sound is not output from the center speaker. (The sound is output when one of these programs is selected while playing a source
encoded with a Dolby Digital or DTS signal. If 5CH STEREO is selected, the sound is output from all speakers regardless of the
input source.)
CINEMA DSP Programs
■ For audio-video sources: Nos. 4 to 6
No. Program (group) Sub-program Features
4 ENTERTAINMENT GAME
This program adds a deep and spatial feeling to video game sounds.
6 MONO MOVIE —
This program is provided for reproducing monaural video sources (such as old
movies). The program produces the optimum reverberation to create sound depth
by using only the presence sound field.
5 TV SPORTS — Although the presence sound field is relatively narrow, the surround sound field
employs the sound environment of a large concert hall. With this program, you
can enjoy watching various TV programs such as news, variety shows, music
programs or sports programs. In a stereo broadcast of a sports game, the
commentator is oriented at the center position, and the shouts and the
atmosphere in the stadium spread on the surround side, while their spread to the
rear is properly restrained.
