The program material is often very dynamic, and the detail and clarity are second to none. This release was loved by every surround-sound program manipulation I tried. Each hall simulation available from my DSP-A1 Yamaha processor (as well as from an RX-V3000 receiver I had on hand to review) was quite good, as was both the Yamaha Classical/Opera mode and standard Dolby Pro Logic See Dolby Surround. decoding de·code tr.v. de·cod·ed, de·cod·ing, de·codes 1.
