Reproducing The Sound Field - JVC RX-9010VBK Instructions Manual

3D-PHONIC modes
The 3D-PHONIC mode gives you such a nearly surround effect as is
reproduced through the Dolby Surround decoder, which is widely
used to reproduce sounds with a feeling of movement like those
experienced in movie theaters. The 3D-PHONIC mode is the result
of research on sound localization technology carried out at JVC for
many years. This mode can be used when the front speakers are
connected to this receiver (without respect to the rear/center
speaker connection). When the 3D PHONIC mode is reproduced
with the center speaker connected, you can feel as if actors on the
screen actually speak in your room.
• You can select "3D ACTION" only when playing an analog or
linear PCM (digital) source.
• You can select "3D DIGITAL" only when playing a source
encoded with Dolby Digital or DTS Digital Surround.
3D ACTION: Best for action and war movies — where the
action is fast and explosive.
3D DIGITAL: Reproduces multichannel source encoded with
Dolby Digital or with DTS Digital Surround.
HEADPHONE DSP mode
The HEADPHONE DSP mode can create the stereo sound while
listening to a source using headphones as if you listen through the
speakers. So you can feel as if you were in a music room. This
mode can be used only when both of the front speakers are
deactivated (see page 19).
Notes:
• When the SUB ROOM and SPEAKERS SUB ROOM indicators are
lit on the display, the SURROUND ON/OFF button do not work.
• When the SUB ROOM and SPEAKERS SUB ROOM indicators are
lit on the display, you can only use DAP and 3D-PHONIC modes for
the main room source. In this case, "DSP" and "3D-PHONIC"
indicators light up on the front panel.
• When you select "DVD MULTI" as the source to play, you cannot
select or adjust the Surround and DSP modes.
• When the Line Direct function is turned on, the DSP modes are
canceled temporarily (see page 22).
• No adjustment can be made for the HEADPHONE DSP mode.

Reproducing the Sound Field

The sound heard in a concert hall or club consists of direct sound
and indirect sound — early reflections and reflections from behind.
Direct sounds reach the listener directly without any reflection. On
the other hand, indirect sounds are delayed by the distances of the
ceiling and walls. These direct sounds and indirect sounds are the
most important elements of the acoustic surround effects.
The Surround and DSP modes can create these important elements,
and give you a real "being there" feeling.

DVD MULTI Playback Mode
This receiver provides the DVD MULTI playback mode for
reproducing the analog discrete 5.1 channel output mode of the
DVD player or other equipment.
You can adjust the DVD MULTI playback mode while playing
back a video software such as a DVD using the analog discrete
5.1 channel output mode.
• For the DVD MULTI playback mode connection, see page 9.
• For details on the DVD MULTI playback mode, see page 49.
