DSP (Digital Signal Processor) playback

The DSP mode uses the digital processing capability of the DSP to create the reverberation components (factors of sound
reflections in a variety of spaces), that determine the feeling of presence, without altering the quality of the music source.
DSP mode
The DSP mode creates the ambiance of a hall, disco or live house from any kind of program source. This mode is particularly effective
when listening to a stereo program source such as a CD, TV and FM broadcasting. Although the DSP mode can create a simulated stereo
surround effect from a monaural source, the proper effect may not be obtained depending on the played software.
Set the DSP mode If you are operating the main unit, press the LISTEN MODE key
then select by turning the MULTI CONTROL jog dial in place of press-
