Dap Modes - JVC TH-A10R Instructions Manual

DAP modes —————————————————
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.
THEATER:
Gives the feeling of a large theater.
LIVE CLUB: Gives the feeling of a live music club
with a low ceiling.
DANCE CLUB:
Gives a throbbing bass beat.
HALL: Gives clear vocal and the feeling of a concert
hall.
PAVILION:
Give the spacious feeling of a pavilion with a
high ceiling.
Notes:
• The DSP modes have no effect on monaural sources.
• The DOLBY DIGITAL indicator lights up when the signals
encoded with Dolby Digital come into the system.
• The PRO LOGIC indicator lights up when the signals encoded
with Dolby Pro Logic decoder built in this system is activated.
• The DTS indicator lights up when the signals encoded with DTS
Digital Surround come into the system.
• The MPEG indicator lights up when the signals encoded with
MPEG Multichannnel Surround come into the system.
• The effects may be adjusted with "SOUND MENU settings"
when the DAP mode is selected (see page 43).
