Listening in Surround Sound

Listening in DSP Mode

The DSP (Digital Signal Processing) modes transform your living room into a variety of different sound
environments when playing standard (two channel) stereo sources. Optionally, you can adjust the amount of
effect added to the source. The descriptions below give an idea of what the five different modes sound like, but
the best idea is to play a source and experiment.
HALL
Simulates the acoustic environment of a large
classical concert hall. Long delay and reverb decay
times create a sense of music being played in a
large space.
JAZZ
Simulates the acoustic environment of a jazz club.
Shorter delay times and a tighter reverb help to give
the sound a live, small club feel.
