The center speaker is for the center channel sounds
(dialog, vocals, etc.). Place it halfway between the left and
right speakers. When using a TV, place the speaker just
above or just under the center of the TV with the front
surfaces of the TV and the speaker aligned. When using a
screen, place it just under the center of the screen.
■Surround left and right speakers (SL and SR)
The surround speakers are used for effect and surround
sounds.

layout, place them slightly further back than in the 7.1channel speaker layout.
■Surround back left and right speakers (SBL
SR
and SBR) / Surround back speaker (SB)
The surround back left and right speakers are used for rear
SR
effect sounds. Place them at the rear of the room facing the
listening position at least 30 cm away from each other,
ideally at the same distance as that between the front left
and right speakers.
In the 6.1-channel speaker layout, surround back left and
right channel sound signals are mixed down and output
from the single surround back speaker.

ProgramDescriptions
StandardThis program creates a sound field emphasizing the surrounding feeling without disturbing the original acoustic
positioning of multi-channel audio such as Dolby Digital and DTS. It has been designed with the concept of “an
ideal movie theater,” in which the audience is surrounded by beautiful reverberations from the left, right and rear.
SpectacleThis program represents the spectacular feeling of large-scale movie productions.
It reproduces a broad theater sound field matching the cinemascope and wider-screen movies with an excellent
dynamic range from very small to extremely large sound.
Sci-FiThis program clearly reproduces the finely elaborated sound design of the latest science fiction and special effects-
featuring movies.
You can enjoy a variety of cinematographically created virtual spaces reproduced with clear separation between
dialog, sound effects and background music.
AdventureThis program is ideal for precisely reproducing the sound design of action and adventure movies.
The sound field restrains reverberations but puts emphasis on reproducing a powerful space expanded widely to
the left and right. The reproduced depth is also restrained relatively to ensure the separation between audio
channels and the clarity of the sound.

Enjoy the sound field programs
ProgramDescriptions
DramaThis sound field features stable reverberations that match a wide range of movie genres from serious dramas to
musicals and comedies. The reverberations are modest but offer an optimum 3D feeling, reproducing effects tones
and background music softly but cubically around clear words and center positioning in a way that does not fatigue
the listener even after long hours of viewing.
Mono MovieThis program is provided for reproducing monaural video sources such as a classic movie in an atmosphere of a
good old movie theater.
The program produces the optimum expansion and reverberation to the original audio to create a comfortable
space with a certain sound depth.
SportsThis program allows the listeners to enjoy stereo sport broadcasts and studio variety programs with enriched live
feeling. In sports broadcasts, the voices of the commentator and sportscaster are positioned clearly at the center
while the atmosphere of the stadium expands in an optimum space to offer the listeners with a feeling of presence
in the stadium.
Action GameThis sound field has been suitable for action games such as car racing and FPS games. It uses the reflection data
that limits the effects range per channel in order to offer a powerful playing environment with a being-there feeling
by enhancing various effects tones while maintaining a clear sense of directions.
Roleplaying GameThis sound field has been suitable for role-playing and adventure games. It combines the sound field effects for
movies and the sound field designs for “Action Game” to represent the depth and 3D feeling of the field during
play, while offering movie-like surround effects in the movie scenes in the game.
For audio music sources
ProgramDescriptions
Hall in MunichThis sound field simulates a concert hall with approximately 2500 seats in Munich, using stylish wood for the
interior finishing as normal standards for European concert halls. Fine, beautiful reverberations spread richly,
creating a calming atmosphere. The listener’s virtual seat is at the center left of the arena.
Hall in ViennaThis is an approximately 1700-seated, middle-sized concert hall with a shoebox shape that is traditional in Vienna.
Pillars and ornate carvings create extremely complex reflections from all around the audience, producing a very
full, rich sound.
ChamberThis program creates a relatively wide space with a high ceiling like an audience hall in a palace. It offers pleasant
reverberations that are suitable for courtly music and chamber music.
Cellar ClubThis program simulates a live house with a low ceiling and homey atmosphere. A realistic, live sound field
features powerful sound as if the listener is in a row in front of a small stage.
The Roxy TheatreThis is the sound field of a rock music live house in Los Angeles, with approximately 460 seats. The listener’s
virtual seat is at the center left of the hall.
The Bottom LineThis is the sound field at stage front in The Bottom Line, that was a famous New York jazz club once. The floor
can seat 300 people to the left and right in a sound field offering real and vibrant sound.
Music VideoThis sound field offers an image of a concert hall for live performance of pop, rock and jazz music. The listener
can indulge oneself in a hot live space thanks to the presence sound field that emphasizes the vividness of vocals
and solo play and the beat of rhythm instruments, and to the surround sound field that reproduces the space of a
big live hall.

When you press the key more than 1 second
The tuner searches the frequency of a station that is
detectable around the current frequency. This is effective
when the tuner can receive strong signals without any
interference. Once the search starts, release the key.
When you keep holding the key, the search continues even
when a station is detected. This is useful when you want to
tune in to a specific station.
When you press and release the key
The tuner increases or decreases the frequency in steps.
Use this method when the tuner cannot receive strong
signals and stations are skipped during the search. You can
listen to better quality sound even when the tuner cannot
receive a strong signal.
