•
Dynamic: This setting is suitable for an
environment which is reverberant but
lacks a spacious feeling (where sound
absorption is not sufficient). It
emphasizes the reflection of sound and
reproduces the sound of a large, classical
movie theater. Thus, the spacious feeling
of a dubbing theater is emphasized and a
unique acoustic field is created.
• Theater: This setting is suitable for a
general living room. It reproduces the
reverberation of sound just like in a
movie theater (dubbing theater). It is most
appropriate for watching content
recorded on a Blu-ray Disc when you
want the atmosphere of a movie theater.
• Studio: This setting is suitable for a
living room with the appropriate sound
equipment. It reproduces the
reverberation of sound provided when a
theatrical sound source is remixed for a
Blu-ray Disc to a volume level suitable
for home use. The level of reflection and
reverberation of sound is kept to the
minimum. However, dialogues and
surround effects are reproduced vividly.
