HALL
When playing recordings of live music, this mode provides a feeling similar to actually being in a concert
hall.
When this mode is selected, the normal program source is directed to the main speakers and a reverberated sound
is directed to the surround speakers.
This mode is suited to program sources which contain a large amount of reverberation.
The Front left channel signals are output to the surround and surround back signal left channels,the front right
channel signals are output to the surround and surround back signal right channels, and the in-phase component
of the left and right channels is output to the center channel.
Use this mode to enjoy stereo sound.
Personal Memory Plus
This set is equipped with a personal memorize function that automatically memorizes the surround modes and input modes selected for the
input different sources. When the input source is switched, the modes set for that source last time it was used are automatically recalled.
• Settings automatically stored in the memory for the individual input functions using the Personal Memory Plus function:
q Surround mode (including 2-channel decode mode and Dolby Pro Logic II mode settings)
w Input mode selection function
The surround parameters, SDB/P.EQ control settings and playback level balance for the different output channels are memorized for each
surround mode.
Once the surround parameters have been set, stop
operating the buttons. After several seconds, the normal
display reappears and the settings are automatically
entered.
