The sound field programs of this unit are recreations of real-world acoustic environments made from precise measurements taken in the 
actual concert hall, music venue, movie theater, etc. Thus, you may notice variations in the strength of the reflections coming from the 
front, back, left and right.

Pop/Rock

CINEMA DSP processing. This program presents an image of pop, rock, or jazz live concert. The 
sound field reproduces the spaciousness of a massive pavilion with an emphasis on the vividness of 
vocals on the stage and solo instruments and the beats of rhythm instruments.

Hall

CINEMA DSP processing. This sound field is suitable for classic and orchestral music. The 
program uses data collected in a large concert hall in Munich. You can enjoy delicate and beautiful 
reverberation and a majestic atmosphere.

Jazz

CINEMA DSP processing. The sound field is suitable for jazz and fusion music.
It uses data collected in a famous jazz club in New York. You can enjoy clear reverberation.

Game

CINEMA DSP processing. You can enjoy dynamic and thrilling sound effects as you play games. 
The program lets you feel the depth and three-dimensional surrounding sounds of the field where 
you are playing, and offers cinema-like surrounding sound effects for the scenes of movies.

TV Sports

CINEMA DSP processing. You can enjoy sports relays broadcast in stereo and variety shows with 
a live sound environment. For sports relays, the voices of commentators and announcers come 
clearly from the center; the cheers and atmosphere in the stadium spread around within a 
comfortable range, and you can feel like as if you are in the stadium.

Movie Spacious

CINEMA DSP processing. The sound field is suitable for movies with an emphasis on spectacular 
sound effects, and is a perfect fit with a wide screen. The program reproduces a wide dynamic 
range from minimum sound effects to powerful sounds.

Movie Dramatic

CINEMA DSP processing. This sound field is also suitable for movies with an emphasis on 
three-dimensional sound effects. It restrains reverberation to an moderate extent, but reproduces 
sound effects and background music in a soft, three-dimensional manner with clarity and center 
orientation of voices as pivots.

2ch Stereo

Downmixes multi-channel sources to 2 channel or plays back 2-channel sources as they are.

5ch Stereo

CINEMA DSP processing. Using this program increases the listening position range. This is a 
sound field suitable for background music at parties.

Music Enh. 2ch
Music Enh. 5ch

Select these programs to play back compression artifacts (such as the MP3 format) in 2-channel or 
5-channel stereo. This program enhances your listening experience by regenerating the missing 
harmonics in a compression artifact.
