patterns created by the user. The "S.direct" (Source direct) mode allows you to reproduce pure sound
by bypassing the sound processing circuitry such as the EX.BASS (Extra Bass) and equalizer circuits.

3D surround
(XD-7...series)
This is a system producing a three-dimensional sound space. The feeling of depth, the width of the sound field,
etc. are improved clearly, and the listening area also is widened.
* DSP (Digital Signal Processor) playback
The DSP mode uses the digital processing capability of the DSP to create the reverberation components (factors
of sound reflections in a variety of spaces), that determine the feeling of presence, without altering the quality of
the music source.
The DSP mode creates the ambiance of a hall, disco, live house or church from any kind of program source. This
mode is particularly effective when listening to a stereo program source such as a CD, TV and FM broadcasting.
Note Note Note
Although the DSP mode can create a simulated stereo surround effect from a monaural source, the proper effect
may not be obtained depending on the played software.
