Using the sound field control

The SFC function creates the sensation of a
live performance.
! The acoustics of different performance en-
vironments are not the same and depend
on the extent and contour of space through
which sound waves move and on how
sounds bounce off the stage, walls, floors
and ceilings. At a live performance you
hear music in three stages: direct sound,
early reflections, and late reflections, or re-
verberations. Those factors are programed
into the SFC circuitry to recreate the acous-
tics of various performance settings.
% Touch SFC on the DSP function menu to
select the setting.
Touch SFC until the desired setting appears in
the display.

Note
If the source is a 2-channel LPCM audio or a 2-
channel Dolby Digital audio and you select SFC
effects that are most applicable for 5.1-channel
audio (i.e., Musical, Drama or Action), we re-
commend turning Dolby Pro Logic II on. On the
other hand, when selecting SFC effects that are
intended for use with 2-channel audio (i.e., Jazz,
Hall or Club), we recommend turning Dolby Pro
Logic II off.
