Listening Mode Description
T-D (Theater- With this mode you can enjoy a virtual
Dimensional) surround sound even with only two or
three speakers. This works by
T – D
controlling how sounds reach the
listener's left and right ears. Good
results may not be possible if there's too
much reverb, so we recommend that
you use this mode in an environment
with little or no natural reverb.
