Dolby 3 Stereo
Dolby 3 Stereo is available for systems that do not have surround
speakers. When in the Dolby 3 Stereo mode, the surround information
is redirected to the front left and right speakers. This mode is designed
for use with Dolby Surround program sources, but can also improve
sound field unity for programs that are not Dolby Surround encoded.
Dialog positioning and sound image definition, however, may not be as
accurate when used with programs that are not Dolby Surround
encoded.

DSP mode
The DSP mode lets you add the atmosphere of a live concert or hall to
almost any type of program source. These modes are particularly
effective when used with stereo program sources, like CD, television,
and FM radio. You might enjoy trying the ARENA, JAZZ CLUB, THEATER,
STADIUM or DISCO mode the next time you watch a concert or sporting
event!

What's DSP?
DSP stands for Digital Signal Processor.
The way a sound is heard in an actual environment depends on a variety
of different factors. One of the most important is reverberation (the act
of decaying elements of sound echoing in various places).
The DSP modes produce the feeling of presence by using the DSP to
create reverberation, without spoiling the sound quality of the original
signal.

DVD 6-channel mode
Using a DVD player or the like equipped with six (5.1) output channels
and the receiver, you can enjoy multi-channel encoded DVD source
material in all its splendor. Since the source signals are digital and each
channel is input independently, the resulting sound quality, sense of
spaciousness, and dynamic range are superb.
