venue, such as jazz, acoustic rock, and country music. As with the Concert mode, the reverb in Club mode

is adjustable through the ATP8500.1's Audio Setup menu.

Natural

This is the most subtle of the ATP8500.1's proprietary music modes, with a very subdued surround effect

and almost no reverb. It works best with music commonly heard in very small, intimate settings: chamber

music, solo instrumental performances, and folk music. The reverb control in the ATP8500.1's Audio

Setup menu lets you adjust the effect to your liking.

Stereo 96

This mode adds no surround-sound processing. It differs from ordinary stereo only in that it allows

playback of stereo material recorded in 24-bit/96-kilohertz sound, which is found on some "audiophile"

DVDs from companies including Chesky Records and Classic Records.

To use this mode, you must connect a DVD player using a digital connection, and the DVD player must be

capable of outputting a 24/96 digital signal. The DVD player must also be set for "24/96 output" or

"downconversion off," depending on how its onscreen menus are labeled.

Changes in ATP8500.1 onscreen menus

The ATP8500.1 works almost exactly like the ATP8500, even though there have been several changes to

the onscreen menu system. Below, we'll show you the new menus, and highlight any changes in operation.

Main Setup Menu

This menu has been simplified—the Tone Controls option has been moved into a new Audio Setup menu

(which also contains the controls for the new surround modes found in the ATP8500.1). Level Setup and

Delay Setup have been moved into the Speaker Setup menu.

Audio Setup Menu

This new menu contains options for Dolby/DTS Setup, Preset Setup, Treble, Bass, LFE level, and Reverb.

The first two access separate menus we will discuss below. The others can be adjusted directly from this

menu as follows:

Treble, Bass: These controls can be adjusted to +/-12 dB, as in the ATP8500.

LFE Level: This control lets you attenuate the LFE (low-frequency effects) channel by as much as -10 dB

in 5.1-channel Dolby Digital or DTS soundtracks. You may choose this option if you find the bass in movie

soundtracks a bit overwhelming for your taste. Use the up/down buttons on the front panel or the remote to
