Stereo plus 3 beam
Outputs normal sound from the front left and right
channels and sound beams from the center and surround
left and right channles. This mode is ideal for watching
live recordings on a DVD. Vocals and instrumental sounds
can be heard close to the center of the listening position
while sound reflections from the venue itself can be heard
on your right and left, giving you the feeling that you are
sitting right in front of the stage.

3 beam
Outputs sound beams from the front left and right and
center channels. This mode is ideal for enjoying movies
with the whole family. Because the listening position area
is widened, you can enjoy excellent quality surround
sound over a wider area. In addition, you can use this
mode when the listening position is close to the backside
of the wall and the surround left and right beams cannot
reflect.
Press 3BEAM on the remote control to select the
3 beam.
