Matrix
This parameter primarily
increases the surround
effect for programmes
sources recorded in stereo
sound, by using an elaborate
Dolby Matrix decoder.
Spatial
This is a living sound picture,
which was developed in the
Revox sound studios. It
emulates a small hall where
you might expect to hear
some live jazz or chamber
music. For this reason,
Spatial is particularly well
suited for listening to this or
similar music types.
X-Stereo
With this stereo sound, the
stereo signal is also sent to
the rear surround speakers
but as a mirror image. This
means that you have stereo
reproduction between each
pair of speaker.
With a square layout, this
can give a fantastic feeling
of space.
Stereo
Additionally, it is possible to
listen to music in pure stereo
with out the influence of any
room sound program. In the
lower display field this is
indicated with
.
In this case, the audio cables
are connected directly to the
outputs on an ultra linear
amplifier path.
If, however, you want to modify
the treble and bass settings in
stereo mode, this will take you
out of the ultra linear path.
Playback is then done through a
DSP as shown by the
display field at the bottom of the
screen.
All surround speakers are
deactivated in this function and
are therefore shown as light
symbols on the display.
