live performance.
! The acoustics of different performance en-
vironments are not the same and depend
on the extent and contour of space through

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.
% Press EQ-EX to select the desired SFC
mode.
Press EQ-EX repeatedly to switch between the
following mode:
MUSICAL (musical)DRAMA (drama)
ACTION (action)JAZZ (jazz)HALL (hall)
CLUB (club)OFF (off)
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
recommend 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.
