Since the source signalsare digital and each channel is input independently, the resultingsound quality, sense of spaciousness, and dynamic range aresuperb.The indication “6CH INPUT” appears in the display during DVD 6-channel mode selection.DSP modeThe DSP mode lets you add the atmosphere of a live concert or hallto almost any type of program source. These modes are particu-larly effective when used with stereo program sources, like CD,television, and FM radio. You might enjoy trying the ARENA, JAZZCLUB, THEATER, STADIUM or DISCO mode the next time youwatch a concert or sporting event!What's DSP mode?DSP stands for Digital Signal Processor.The way a sound is heard in an actual environment depends on avariety of different factors. One of the most important is rever-beration (the act of decaying elements of sound echoing in variousplaces). The DSP modes produce the feeling of presence by usingthe DSP to create reverberation, without spoiling the soundquality of the original signal.
