SURROUND EFFECTSWhen you use the surround function, the sound creates a“live” atmosphere such as that experienced in movie theaters, disco, stadium and concert halls.

This unit is provided with the following surroundmodes, which can be selected using the SURROUND MODEswitches. Select the appropriate SURROUND MODEaccording to the program source.

Surround Modes

3 STEREO

Front speakers receive rear (surround) speaker signals inaddition to front speakers signals. Center speaker workssimilarly as that of Dolby Pro Logic mode. In this way, you canenjoy playback sound having superior sound positioningwithout using rear channel speakers.

HALL Surround

When playing recordings of live music, this mode provides afeeling similar to actually being in a concert hall. When thismode is selected, the normal program source is directed tothe main speakers and a reverberated sound is directed to thesurround speakers. This mode is suited to program sourceswhich contain a large amount of reverberation.

THEATER Surround

This mode provides a three dimensional effect similar to thatof movie theater. With this mode, you can enjoy a surroundeffect similer to Dolby Surround sound even when playing avideo program which is not encoded with the Dolby Surroundsystem.

DISCO Surround

Gives a greatly expanded feel to powerful music such asdance or rock.

STADIUM Surround

The reverberation of this mode produces a sound field whichrecreates the sound of a stadium.

CHURCH Surround

This mode provides the reverberant ambiance of a church,which can enhance choral work, as well as adding a richambient effect to “dry” studio recordings.

DOLBY PRO LOGIC

Use this mode when playing movie or music video softwarewhich carries the DOLBY SURROUND mark.This mode provides the effect of being in a movie theater orlive concert house-an effect with an intensity which can onlybe obtained through DOLBY PRO LOGIC SURROUND.The main feature of DOLBY PRO LOGIC SURROUND is thatthe separation between the various channels is significantlyimproved from the 3 dB of previous systems to 26-40 dB. As a result, the effect of the front/back/ left/right movement ofthe sound image, as well as the sense of fixed position in thesound image, is much clearer and more dynamic than before.In addition, movie dialogue and other sounds which shouldnaturally be heard from the center are output through anindependent center channel, providing a high degree of focusfor dialogue.

DTS (Digital Theater System)

Allows you to enjoy 5.1 (or 6) discrete channels of high quality digital audio from DTS program sources bearing the

“ “ or “HIGH DEFINITION SURROUND” trademarksuch as discs, DVD and compact discs, etc. DTS DigitalSurround delivers up to 6 channels of transparent audio(which means identical to the original masters) and resultsin exceptional clarity throughout a true 360˚ soundfield.The term DTS is a trademark of DTS Technology, LLC.Manufactured under license from DTS Technology, LLC.Note : The DTS program sources should be played back in

the DTS mode. If not, it will sound like continuous noise.

DOLBY DIGITAL Surround

The Dolby Digital surround format lets you enjoy up to 5.1channels of digital surround sound from a Dolby Digital program source. If you connect a DVD player or an LDplayer with a DOLBY DIGITAL output to the DOLBY DIGITALinput jack on a surround receiver/amplifier or surroundprocessor and play DVD or laser discs with ( ) mark,you can enjoy evenbetter sound quality, greater spatialaccuracy, and improved dynamic range. This is becauseDolby Digital delivers up to 5 totally discrete, full frequencyaudio channels (front left and right, center, and surround leftand right), plus 0.1 channel called LFE* (bass-only effectschannel).Dolby Digital is a system developed by Dolby Laboratoriesthat transmits 5.1 channels of digital signals. The surroundsystem developed for movie theaters using this system iscalled “Dolby SR-D “Surround Digital”. Because eachchannel is completely independent, a realistic sound fieldwith a “three-dimensional” feel is achieved which gives thesound a sense of distance, movement and relative position,creating a surprisingly real and powerful sense of presence.Some Dolby Digital programs carry information that allowyou to compress the dynamic range of sound track, withoutdegrading the sound quality, for softer sound effects whenyou listen late at night.* LFE = Low Frequency Extension

This channel delivers separate non-directional basssignals to the subwoofer for more dynamic deepbass sound effects.

SURROUND EFFECTS

Speaker Positioning

This installation positions of speakers differ according tothe size, and acoustics of the listening room. Whileactually listening to a program source, try variousspeaker positions to determine which layout providesthe best surround effect.

Speaker layout example when using SURROUND

MODE

Front speakers : Place to the front left and right of thelistening position. Front speakers arerequired for all surround modes.

Center speaker : Place directly above or below thetelevision. This speaker stabilizes thesound image and helps recreatesound motion. Be sure to connect acenter speaker when using the 3STEREO mode.

Rear speakers : Place left and right behind the listening area. These speakers recreate sound motion and atmosphere. Required for surround playback.For best results, do not install therear speakers too far behind the listening position and install them ator above the level of the listener’sears. It is also effective to direct therear speakers towards a wall orceil ing to further disperse thesound.

Subwoofer : Reproduces powerful deep basssounds. A Subwoofer is not requiredbut may be added as an option.

Speaker Configuration

It is important to perform speaker configuration prior tousing the decoder. This allows the unit to sense the available speakers and automatically select decodingmodes. It is possible to receive multi-channel surroundsound without a center speaker, but for best results withDTS, Dolby Pro Logic and Dolby Digital decoding, at least 5speakers (Left, Center, Right, Left Rear and Right Rear)should be used.

1. Each press of the SPEAKER CONFIGURATION button will change the desired Speaker Configurationshown on the display. (ex.: “F-LARGE”, “F-SMALL”,“C-LARGE”, “C-NONE”, “S-LARGE” etc.)

2. Use the ADJUST ( ) buttons to set the appropriate status.

CENTER SPEAKER Mode

- LARGE : Use this mode with a large center speaker. The center channel’s output is full range.

- SMALL : Use this mode with a small center speaker. - NONE : Use this mode if there is no center speaker.

The center channel signal will be divided between the front L and R speakers.

REAR (SURROUND) SPEAKER Mode

- LARGE : Choose if a large speaker is used or if a subwoofer is connected in parallel. The rear channels output will be full range.

- SMALL : Choose if small speakers are used.When using small speakers, it is recommened that a powered Subwoofer be added to play low frequencies.

FRONT SPEAKER Mode

- LARGE : Choose if large speakers are installed. Front channel output will be full range.

- SMALL : Choose if compact speakers are used. Note : When LFE/Bass Out is set for FRONT, the

front channels full range is output to the front speakers even if the front speaker mode is set to SMALL.
