w DSP Simulation Playback
The desired mode according to the program source and viewing
situation can be selected from among 7 DENON original surround
modes.
The surround parameters can be adjusted (vpage 67 , 68) to
achieve an even more realistic, powerful sound field.

headphones.
z1: "5CH STEREO" is displayed when "Surround Parameter" – "SB
CH Out" is "OFF", and "Amp Assign" is set to except "7 .1ch"
(vpage 29, 41).
z2: When playing sources recorded in monaural in the MONO MOVIE
mode, the sound will be off balance with a single channel (left or
right), so input to both channels.
