Listening In Dsp Mode - RCA STAV-3860 Owner's Manual

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 how the five different modes sound,
but you might want 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.
