Selecting the Sound Modes
You can select one of the 6 preset sound modes (3 surround
modes and 3 SEA—Sound Effect Amplifier—modes) and 3
user modes. This function only affects the playback sound,
but does not affect your recording. Each Sound Mode has its
own illumination display.
To select the sound modes, turn
SOUND MODE (or press SOUND MODE
on the remote control) until the sound mode
you want appears on the display.
• When a sound mode is selected, the lamp for the selected sound
mode (in this example, DANCE) flashes while the other sound mode
lamps light up.
• When any of the user modes (USER1, USER2 or USER3) is
selected or when the sound mode is cancelled (“OFF” is selected),
all sound mode lamps go off.
The sound modes change as follows:
When using the remote control, the sound mode changes only
clockwise in the above sequence.

DANCE: Increases resonance and bass.
HALL: Adds depth and brilliance to the sound.
STADIUM: Adds clarity and spreads the sound, like in an
outdoor stadium.

music.
