DENON original surround modes

The AVC-A11XV is equipped with a high performance DSP (Digital Signal Processor) which uses digital signal
processing to synthetically recreate the sound field. One of nine preset surround modes can be selected
according to the program source and the parameters can be adjusted according to the conditions in the listening
room to achieve a more realistic, powerful sound.

Surround modes and their features

Select this to achieve an atmosphere like that of a movie theater with a large
screen. In this mode, all signal sources are played in the 7.1-channel mode,
1
WIDE SCREEN
including Dolby Surround and Dolby Digital 5.1-channel sources. Effects simulating
the multi surround speakers of movie theaters are added to the surround channels.
Select this when watching baseball or soccer programs to achieve a sound as if you
2
SUPER STADIUM
were actually at the stadium. This mode provides the longest reverberation signals.
Use this mode to achieve the feeling of a live concert in an arena with reflected
3
ROCK ARENA
sounds coming from all directions.
This mode creates the sound field of a live house with a low ceiling and hard walls.
4
JAZZ CLUB
This mode gives jazz a very vivid realism.
5
CLASSIC CONCERT Select this for the sound of a concert hall rich in reverberations.
MONO MOVIE
6
Select this when watching monaural movies for a greater sense of expansion.
(NOTE)
7
VIDEO GAME Use this to enjoy video game sources.
Select this to emphasize the sense of expansion for music sources recorded in
stereo. Signals consisting of the difference component of the input signals (the
8
MATRIX
component that provides the sense of expansion) processed for delay are output
from the surround channel.
The front left channel signals are output to the surround and surround back signal
left channels, the front right channel signals are output to the surround and
9
7CH STEREO
surround back signal right channels, and the in-phase component of the left and
right channels is output to the center channel. Use this mode to enjoy stereo sound.
Depending on the program source being played, the effect may not be very noticeable.
In this case, try other surround modes, without worrying about their names, to create a sound field suited to
your tastes.
NOTE: When playing sources recorded in monaural, the sound will be one-sided if signals are only input to one
channel (left or right), so input signals to both channels. If you have a source component with only one
audio output (monophonic camcorder, etc.) obtain a "Y" adaptor cable to split the mono output to two
outputs, and connect to the L and R inputs.
2 Personal Memory Plus
This set is equipped with a personal memorize function that automatically memorizes the surround modes and
input modes selected for the input different sources. When the input source is switched, the modes set for that
source last time it was used are automatically recalled.
The surround parameters, tone control settings and playback level balance for the different output channels
are memorized for each surround mode.
