SURROUND

EFFECT

This

unit

has

a

built

in

surround

processor

for

adding

presonce

and

an

expansive

effect

to

the

sound.

*

STADIUM:

Effective

for

a

stereo

but

not

a

monaural

source.

The

“STADIUM”

effect

creates

efficient,

reverberated

sounds

to

obtain

an

expansive

sound

field.

For

music

sources

like

a

rock

concert,

you

can

feel

if

you

wore

at

the

live

concert

seated

very

close

to

the

stage.

For

sports

programs

such

as

a

baseball

game,

you

can

enjoy

a

powerful

sound,

thus

obtaining

a

stadium-like

effect.

e

SIMULATED

SURROUND:

The

“SIMULATED

SURROUND"

creates

of

reverberated

and

reflected

sound

from

the

walls

and

ceiling

similar

to

a

concert

hall.

These

sound-

effects

added

to

the

actual

sound

from

the

source

make

you

feel

as

if

in

a

more

expanded

space.

The

different

ranges

of

the

expanded

space

can

be

set

by

the

Delay

Time

key.

Set

the

Delay

Time

to

15

ms

or

20

ms

for

a

live-house

concert.

For

chamber

music,

set

to

20

ms.

For

orchestral

music,

set

to

30

ms.

The

‘SIMULATED

SURROUND”

also

gives

the

effects

on

monaural

sources

by

outputting

the

reverberated

sound

from

rear

speakers

while

keeping

the

output

sound

from

front

speakers

as

it

is.

Turn

on

the

‘SIMULATED

STEREO”

for

a

monaural

source

to

gain

the

effective

surround

playback.
