A large round concert hall with a rich surround effect. Pronounced reflections from all directions
emphasize the extension of sounds. The sound field has a great deal of presence, and your
virtual seat is near the center, close to the stage.
This is the sound field at stage front in “The Bottom Line”, a famous New York jazz club, that
seats up to 300 people. Its wide left to right seating arrangement offers a real and vibrant sound.
The ideal program for lively, dynamic rock music. The data for this program was recorded at
LA’s “hottest” rock club. The listener’s virtual seat is at the center-left of the hall.
This program recreates the acoustic environment of a lively disco in the heart of a big city. The
sound is dense and highly concentrated. It is also characterized by a high-energy, “immediate”
sound.

Features
This program adds a deep and spatial feeling to video game sounds.
This program produces an enthusiastic atmosphere and lets you feel as if you are at an actual
jazz or rock concert.
With this program, you can enjoy watching various TV programs such as news, variety shows,
music programs or sports programs. In a stereo broadcast of a sports game, the commentator is
oriented at the center position, and the shouts and the atmosphere in the stadium spread on the
surround side, while their spread to the rear is properly restrained.
This program is provided for reproducing monaural video sources (such as old movies). The
program produces the optimum reverberation to create sound depth by using only the presence
sound field.
This program creates the extremely wide sound field of a 70-mm movie theater. It precisely
reproduces the source sound in detail, making both the video and the sound field incredibly real.
This is ideal for any kind of video source encoded with Dolby Surround, Dolby Digital or DTS
(especially large-scale movie productions).
This program clearly reproduces dialog and sound effects in the latest sound form of science
fiction films, thus creating a broad and expansive cinematic space amid the silence. You can
enjoy science fiction films in a virtual-space sound field that includes Dolby Surround, Dolby
Digital and DTS-encoded software employing the most advanced techniques.
This program is ideal for precisely reproducing the sound design of the newest 70-mm and
multichannel soundtrack films. The sound field is made to be similar to that of the newest movie
theaters, so the reverberations of the sound field itself are restrained as much as possible.
This program is for reproducing sounds from 70-mm and multichannel soundtrack films, and is
characterized by a soft and extensive sound field. The presence sound field is relatively narrow.
It spatially spreads all around and toward the screen, restraining the echo effect of conversations
without losing clarity.
This program ideally simulates the multi-surround speaker systems of the 35-mm film theaters.
Dolby Pro Logic and Dolby Pro Logic II decoding, Dolby Digital decoding or DTS decoding
and digital sound field processing create precise effects without altering the original sound
orientation.
The surround effects produced by this sound field wrap around the viewer naturally from the
back to the left and right, and toward the screen.
The built-in decoder precisely reproduces sounds and sound effects from sources. The highly
efficient decoding process improves crosstalk and channel separation and makes sound
positioning smoother and more precise.
In this program, no DSP effect is applied.

Notes
•There are 9 programs with sub-programs available with this unit. However, the selection depends on the input signal format and not
all sub-programs can be used with all input signal formats.
•The acoustics of your listening room affect the DSP program. Minimize the sound reflections in your room to maximize the effect
created by the program.
•When a monaural source is being played with PRO LOGIC/Normal or PRO LOGIC/Enhanced, or PRO LOGIC II Movie, no sound
will be heard from the front speakers and the rear speakers. Sound can only be heard from the center speaker. (If “1A CENTER” on
the SET MENU is set to NON, the center channel sound is output from the front speakers.)
