When an FM stereo broadcast is hard to receive or noisy, you can change the FM reception mode while receiving an FM broadcast. • You can store the FM reception mode for each preset station.
Creating Realistic Sound Fields You can use the following DSP (Digital Signal Processor) modes to reproduce a realistic sound field. • Surround modes • DAP modes ■ Surround modes Surround modes cannot be used when only the front speakers are connected to this receiver (without the rear speakers or center speaker). Dolby Surround (Dolby Pro Logic)* Used to reproduce sound tracks of the software encoded with Dolby DOLBY SURROUND ).
DAP modes have been designed to create important acoustic surround elements. The sound heard in a hall, live club, dance club or pavilion consists of direct sound and indirect sound — early reflections and reflections from behind. Direct sounds reach the listener directly without any reflection. On the other hand, indirect sounds are delayed by the distances of the ceiling and walls (see the diagram to the right). These indirect sounds are important elements of the acoustic surround effects.
Creating Realistic Sound Fields About Relations between Speaker Layout and DSP Modes Available DSP modes will vary depending on how many speakers are used with this receiver. Make sure that you have set the speaker information correctly (see page 12). • If only front speakers are connected, you cannot use the DSP modes. • If rear speakers are not connected, you cannot use Theater Surround and DAP modes.
Before you start, remember... • Make sure that you have set the speaker information correctly (see page 12). • You cannot adjust the center speaker output level when you have set “CTR SP” to “NO.” • You cannot adjust the rear speaker output levels when you have set “REAR SP” to “NO.” • Remember not to change the speaker setting while using any DSP mode; otherwise, it may be canceled when you deactivate the speakers required for the DSP mode.
