Activating the Surround Sounds

Using the DAP Modes You can use five DAP modes � �Dance Club, Live Club, Hall, Pavilion, and Headphones.� These modes (except �Headphones�) require the front speakers and the rear speakers, but do not require a center speaker to enlarge the sound field. Among the DAP modes, �Headphones� is very special. It can create the same stereo sound as you listen through the speakers off air while listening to a source using headphones. So, you can feel as if you were not using the headphones and listening to music in a room.

On the front panel:
1. Press SURROUND so that the Control % / � / @ / # buttons work for selecting the surround/DAP/3DPHONIC modes. The lamp above the button lights up. 2. Press Control % / � until one of the DAP mode (�HEAD P,� �PAVILION,� �HALL,� �LIVE C,� or �DANCE C�) appears on the display. Each time you press the button, the surround/DAP/3DPHONIC modes change as follows:
