31Creating Realistic Sound Fields DAP (Digital Acoustic Processor) modesDAP modes have been designed to create important acousticsurround elements.The sound heard in a live club, dance club, hall or pavilion consistsof direct sound and indirect sound—early reflections and reflectionsfrom behind. Direct sounds reach the listener directly without anyreflection. On the other hand, indirect sounds are delayed by thedistances of the ceiling and walls (see the diagram below).These indirect sounds are important elements of the acousticsurround effects. The DAP mode can reproduce a realistic soundfield by adding these indirect sounds.DAP modes can be used when the front and rear speakers areconnected to this receiver (without respect to the center speakerconnection: no sound comes out of the center speaker even if it isconnected).The following DAP modes are provided with this receiver:LIVE CLUB : Gives the feeling of a live music club with a lowceiling.DANCE CLUB : Gives a throbbing bass beat.HALL : Gives clear vocal and the feeling of a concerthall.PAVILION : Gives the spacious feeling of a pavilion with ahigh ceiling.These DAP modes can be used to add the acoustic surround effectswhile reproducing 2-channel stereo software, either analogue orLinear PCM digital signal, and can give you a real “being there”feeling.• When one of the DAP modes is selected, the DSP indicator lightsup on the display. All Channel StereoThis mode can reproduce a larger stereo sound field using all theconnected (and activated) speakers.All Channel Stereo can be used when the front and rearspeakers are connected to this receiver without respect to thecenter speaker connection.If the center speaker is connected and activated, the same phase ofthe front left and right signals are mixed and output through thecenter speaker.All Channel Stereo can be used while reproducing 2-channel stereosoftware, either analogue or Linear PCM digital signal.• When All Channel Stereo is selected, the DSP indicator lights upon the display.Available Surround modes for each input signalMode STEREO DOLBY DTS PRO LOGIC II PRO LOGIC II LIVE DANCE HALL PAVILION ALL CHSignals DIGITAL SURROUND MOVIE MUSIC CLUB CLUB STEREODolby Digital (Multi-channel)Dolby Digital (2-channel)DTS DigitalSurround (Multi-channel)DTS DigitalSurround (2-channel)Linear PCM Analogue : Possible : ImpossibleAll Channel Stereo reproductionSound reproduced from normal stereoSound reproduced from All Channel StereoEarly reflectionsDirect soundsReflections from behindCreating sound field
