The DSP mode lets you add the atmosphere of a live concert or hall
to almost any type of program source. These modes are particulariy

What's DSP?
DSP stands for Digital Signal Processor.
The way a sound is heard in an actual environment depends on a
variety of different factors. One of the most importantis reverberation
(the act of decaying elernents of sound echoing in various places).
Tne DSP modes produce the feeling of presence by using the DSP
to create reverberation, without spoiling the sound quality of the
original signal.
DVD 6-channel mode
Using a OVD player or the like equipped with six (5.1) output
channels and the receiver, you can enjoy multi-channel encoded
DVD source material in all its splendor. Since the source signals are
digital and each channel is input independently, the resulting sound
quality, sense of spaciousness, and dynamic range are superb.
