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 DAP mode can create these important
elements, and gives you a real "being there" feeling by using the front speakers and rear
speakers.
