Orchestra
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.
Unplugged
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
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
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
In this mode, the sound has a dramatic feel with a similar atmosphere to Orchestra
mode.
Game-Action
In this mode, sound localization is distinct with emphasis on bass.
Game-Rock
In this mode, sound pressure is emphasized to heighten live feel.
Game-Sports
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.
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)
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.

Direct
In this mode, audio from the input source is output without surround-sound
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 (
Stereo
Sound is output from the front left and right speakers and subwoofer.
Mono
Use this mode when watching an old movie with a mono soundtrack, or use it with the
foreign language soundtracks recorded in the left and right channels of some movies.
It can also be used with DVDs or other sources containing multiplexed audio, such as
karaoke DVDs.
