Listening Mode Effects

In alphabetical order

Action

Mode suitable for movies with a lot of action scenes.
The speaker calibrations measured with Dirac Live are disabled.

AdvancedGame

Mode suitable for game content.
The speaker calibrations measured with Dirac Live are disabled.

Classical

Suitable for classical or operatic music. This mode emphasizes the surround
channels in order to widen the sound image, and simulates the natural
reverberation of a large hall.
The speaker calibrations measured with Dirac Live are disabled.

Direct/Pure Direct

The "Direct" mode shuts down some processing that can affect sound quality,
such as the tone control features, so you can enjoy even better sound quality.
The "Pure Direct" mode shuts down even more processes that affects sound
quality, so you get a more faithful reproduction of the original sound. In this case,
the speaker calibration made with MCACC/Dirac Live is invalid.

Atmos

Since this mode calculates the positional data of audio recorded in Dolby Atmos
audio in real-time and outputs it from appropriate speakers, you can enjoy the
natural and stereophonic sound eld of Dolby Atmos with any speaker layout
including connection of only front speakers. Also, the Dolby Atmos sound design
can be reproduced more faithfully by connecting surround back speakers or
height speakers. You can select this mode when inputting the Dolby Atmos
audio format.
Unlike existing surround systems, Dolby Atmos does not rely on channels, but
rather enables the accurate placement of sound objects that have independent
motion in a 3D space with even greater clarity. Dolby Atmos is an optional
audio format for Blu-ray Discs and achieves a more stereophonic sound eld by
introducing a sound eld above the listener.
According to the speaker layout, the following listening modes are displayed.
Atmos 2.0/2.1: When only front speakers are installed
Atmos 3.0/3.1: When front speakers and center speaker are installed
Atmos 4.0/4.1: When front speakers and surround speakers are
installed
Atmos 5.0/5.1: When front speakers, center speaker and surround
speakers are installed
Atmos 6.0/6.1: When front speakers, surround speakers and surround
back speakers are installed
Atmo s 7. 0 / 7.1: When front speakers, center speaker, surround speakers
and surround back speakers are installed
Atmos 2.0.2/2.1.2: When front speakers and height speakers are
installed
Atmos 3.0.2/3.1.2: When front speakers, center speaker and height
speakers are installed
Atmos: Selectable in the "4.1.2 ch", "5.1.2 ch", "6.1.2 ch", "7.1.2 ch",
"4.1.4 ch", "5.1.4 ch", "6.1.4 ch" or "7.1.4 ch" setting with surround speakers
and height speakers installed.
To enable transfer of this audio format, connect via an HDMI cable and set
the audio output on the player to Bitstream output.
When "Speaker Virtualizer" ( p136) is set to "Off" (Default: On), modes
other than
Atmos cannot be selected.
