Front Stage Surround Advance
89 87 85 82 81
With Front Stage Surround Advance, you can enjoy surround
sound coming from only the front speakers and the subwoofer.
Since wall reflections are not used, the setup is less dependent
on the room environment, allowing front alignment of the
speakers. Front Stage Surround Advance creates an excellent
sound image and natural sound.
Optimum Surround
89 87 85
Dialog, bass, and surround sound are the three elements of
cinema sound. When soundtracks are played on a home theater
at a much lower volume, the impression may become quite
different. Optimum Surround is a Pioneer-exclusive listening
mode for solving this problem, developed through repeated
interviews with actual film makers. For each scene, this
technology automatically optimizes the balance of the three
elements with an original algorithm. Bring home the real thrills
of the movie as intended by the creators.
