SFC modes
The SFC (Sound Field Control) function gives presence and
spread thereby enhancing and enriching the music or movie.
Read the following explanations to better understand how to make
your selection.
ijffln
• SFC is designed to add surround-like effects to stereo sources.
Select the Dolby Pro Logic SURROUND mode when playing
back Dolby Surround sources.
• The center speaker is not used in the HALL and SIM SURR
mode.
HALL
This mode imparts a reflection and spread which will make you
feel as if you are in a large concert hall.
CLUB
Like a jazz club, this mode provides an exciting and intimate
atmosphere. It simulates the sound field of a relatively small room
having a low ceiling and hard reflective surfaces, for a "live" sound
with enhanced presence to bring the performers up close.
LIVE
Primarily for vocal pieces, this mode adds gloss to the vocals and
you'll feel as though you were hearing a live stage performance.
THEATER
You can clearly perceive the directions and source of the movie.
Real ambience of sound can also be recreated naturally using this
mode.
SIM SURR (SIMULATED)
Choose this mode if little or no sound will be heard from the
surround speakers.
You can feel as if you were in a more expanded space adding to
the actual sound from the source.
This mode also adds effect to monaural sources by outputting
sound from surround speakers.
