Using The Dsp Modes; Reproducing The Sound Field; Introducing The Dsp Modes - JVC RX-8040B Instructions Manual

Using the DSP Modes

This unit can activates a variety of DSP modes. The basic settings and adjustments stored (see pages 32 to 41) are
applied.
• The following operations are only possible when the receiver is ready for Zone 1 operations, and are used only
for Zone 1 sources.

Reproducing the Sound Field

The sound heard in a concert hall, club, etc. 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.
DSP modes can create these important elements, and give you a real
"being there" feeling.

Direct sounds

Introducing the DSP Modes

DSP modes include the following modes—
• Digital Acoustic Processor (DAP) modes (HALL 1, HALL 2,
LIVE CLUB, DANCE CLUB, PAVILION, THEATER 1,
THEATER 2)
• ALL STEREO
• MONO FILM—Used for all types of 2-channel signals (including
Dual Mono signal)
3D Headphone mode—3D H PHONE
If you press DSP when the front speakers 1 and 2 are both
deactivated, 3D Headphone mode (3D H PHONE) is activated
without respect to the type of software played back.
"3D H PHONE" appears and the DSP and HEADPHONE
indicators also light up on the display.
To use DSP modes, press DSP so that the DSP modes change as
follows.
The DSP indicator also lights up on the display.

Digital Acoustic Processor (DAP) modes
You can use the following DAP modes in order to reproduce a more
acoustic sound field in your listening room.
HALL 1 Reproduces the spatial feeling of a large
shoebox-shaped hall designed primarily for
classical concerts. (Its seating capacity is about
2000.)
HALL 2 Reproduces the spatial feeling of a large
vineyard-shaped hall designed primarily for
classical concerts. (Its seating capacity is about
2000.)
LIVE CLUB Reproduces the spatial feeling of a live music
club with a low ceiling.
DANCE CLUB Reproduces the spatial feeling of a rocking
dance club.
PAVILION Reproduces the spatial feeling of an exhibition
hall with a high ceiling.
THEATER 1* Reproduces the spatial feeling of a large theater
where the seating capacity is about 600.
THEATER 2* Reproduces the spatial feeling of a small
theater where the seating capacity is about 300.
* The built-in Dolby Pro Logic II decoder is activated when playing
back 2-channel analog or digital source. The
indicator lights up on the display.
When using the DAP mode, the sounds come out of all the
connected and activated speakers.
• If the surround speakers are set to "NONE" in the speaker
setting, JVC's original 3D-PHONIC processing (which has been
developed to create the surround effect through the front speakers
only) is used.
The 3D-PHONIC indicator lights up on the display.
Mono Film
In order to reproduce a more acoustic sound field in your listening
room while viewing monaural sound video software (analog,
2-channel digital, and Dual Mono signals), you can use this mode.
The surround effect will be added, and the sound localization of
actor's words will be improved. This mode cannot be used for
multi-channel digital signals.
When "MONO FILM" is used, the sounds come out of all the
connected and activated speakers.
• If surround speakers are set to "NONE" in the speaker setting,
JVC's original 3D-PHONIC processing (which has been
developed to create the surround effect through the front speakers
only) is used. The 3D-PHONIC indicator lights up on the display.
• If incoming signals change from 2-channel digital signal to
another digital signal type, "MONO FILM" is canceled and an
appropriate Surround mode is activated.
