■ SRS (●) 3D SURROUND
About SRS (●) 3D surround:
SRS is a breakthrough technology that creates 3-dimensional
sound by processing sound signals based on the human auditory
system. It produces real depth and localization of the sound
image which cannot be accomplished by ordinary stereo.
SRS only requires two speakers.
SRS (●) 3D surround effects:
● Live performance atmosphere
(Simulates a live concert atmosphere)
● The localization of various musical sources is quite clear.
(The positions of the musical instruments and singers are very
clear.)
● Reproduction of depth
(Sounds from the front and back of an orchestra can be ident-
ified easily.)
● Expansion of the sound field
(The sound image is spread out over a wide area.)
Selecting the 3D surround mode:
When the sound source is in stereo, you can select from any of
5 different 3D surround effect.
1 Select any desired audio source and begin playback.
2 To hear the 3D surround effect, press the SRS MODE button.
● "SRS (●)" will appear.
When the SRS MODE button is pressed, the current mode setting
will be displayed. To change to a different mode, press the SRS
MODE button repeatedly.
● "PASS" will not be displayed in remote control operation.

be set to FLAT.
