• Theater
Theater type (default setting) mixes
reflection and reverberation sound
creating the characteristics of a mastering
studio. Additionally, this type mixes in
frequency characteristics that are often
found in professional studios and movie
theaters. It is ideal for watching movies in
a listening room that has less
reverberation.
• Dynamic
Want to enjoy the sound effects to the full
extent, just like at the movie theaters?
Dynamic type emphasizes on the
reflection sound. Without HD-D.C.S.,
many rooms are often somewhat
reverberant but lack a spacious feeling.
This type acoustically opens up those
types of rooms and provides a spacious
and dynamism feeling equivalent to a
mastering studio.
• Studio
In Studio type, effects are kept to a
minimum, while still providing a great
theater experience. This type provides the
accuracy of the original recording.
