Orchestra
*1
Suitable for classical or operatic music, this mode emphasizes the surround channels
in order to widen the stereo image, and simulates the natural reverberation of a large
hall.

C
Unplugged
*1
Suitable for acoustic instruments, vocals, and jazz, this mode emphasizes the front
stereo image, giving the impression of being right in front of the stage.
Studio-Mix
*1
Suitable for rock or pop music, listening to music in this mode creates a lively sound
field with a powerful acoustic image, like being at a club or rock concert.
TV Logic
*1
This mode adds realistic acoustics to TV shows produced in a TV studio, surround
effects to the entire sound, and clarity to voices.
Game-RPG
*1
In this mode, the sound has a dramatic feel with a similar atmosphere to Orchestra
mode.
Game-Action
*1
In this mode, sound localization is distinct with emphasis on bass.
Game-Rock
*1
In this mode, sound pressure is emphasized to heighten live feel.
Game-Sports
*1
In this mode, reverberation is increased and sound localization decreased slightly.
All Ch Stereo Ideal for background music, this mode fills the entire listening area with stereo sound
from the front, surround, and surround back speakers.
XC
Full Mono In this mode, all speakers output the same sound in mono, so the sound you hear is the
same regardless of where you are within the listening room.
T-D (Theater-
Dimensional)
*1
With this mode you can enjoy a virtual surround sound even with only two or three
speakers. This works by controlling how sounds reach the listener’s left and right
ears. Good results may not be possible if there’s too much reverb, so we recommend
that you use this mode in an environment with little or no natural reverb.

processing. The speaker configuration (presence of speakers) and speaker distance
settings are enabled, but much of the processing set via Home menu is disabled. A/V
Sync does not have effect on the analog audio. See “Advanced Setup” for more
details (➔ page 29).
