Standard

This program creates a sound field that emphasizes the surround feeling without disturbing

the original acoustic positioning of multichannel audio. Its design is based on the concept of

the ideal movie theater, in which the audience is surrounded by beautiful reverberations

from the left, right, and rear.

Spectacle

This program delivers the scale and grandeur of spectacular movie productions. It delivers

an expansive sound space to match the cinemascope wide-screen, and boasts a broad

dynamic range, providing everything from small delicate sounds to powerful loud booms.

Sci-Fi

This program clearly reproduces the finely elaborated sound design of the latest Sci-Fi and

SFX movies. You can enjoy a variety of cinematographically created virtual spaces

reproduced with clear separation between dialogue, sound effects, and background music.

Adventure

This program is ideal for reproducing the sound design of action and adventure movies

precisely. The sound field restrains reverberations, but puts emphasis on reproducing a

sensation of expansiveness on both sides, powerful space expanded widely to the left and

right. The restrained depth creates a clear and powerful space, while also maintaining the

articulation of the sounds and the separation of the channels.

Drama

This program features stable reverberations that match a wide range of movie genres, from

serious dramas to musicals and comedies. The reverberations are modest, but suitably

stereophonic. The sound effects and background music are reproduced with a gentle echo

that does not impinge on the articulation of the dialogue. You’ll never get tired listening for

long periods.

Mono Movie

This program reproduces monaural video sources, such as classic movies, in an atmosphere

of a good old movie theater. The program creates a pleasant space with depth, by adding

breadth and the appropriate reverberation to the original audio.

STEREO

2ch Stereo

Use this program to mix down multichannel sources to 2 channels. When multichannel

signals are input, they are down mixed to 2 channels and output from the front speakers

(this program does not utilize CINEMA DSP).

All-Channel Stereo

Use this program to output sound from all speakers. When you play back multichannel

sources, the unit mixes down the source to 2 channels, and then outputs the sound from all

speakers. This program creates a larger sound field and is ideal for background music at

parties.

UNPROCESSED

SURROUND DECODE

The surround decoder enables multichannel playback from 2-channel sources without sound

field effects.
