Surround parameters (2)
1. VIRTUAL1 (Virtual 1 mode)
In this mode, 2-channel sources are played with Dolby Pro Logic
II Cinema processing. This mode is suited for playing movie
sources recorded in Dolby Surround and regular stereo sources.
2. VIRTUAL2 (Virtual 2 mode)
In this mode, 2-channel sources are played with Dolby Pro Logic
processing. This mode is compatible with regular Dolby Pro
Logic playback. With it, the recorded playback image of sources
recorded in Dolby Surround is recreated faithfully.
NOTE:
• If noise is generated for interactive and other high bit rate
sources when playing DVDs or D.AUX digital input signals in the
Dolby Virtual Speaker mode, set “LINE-1/LINE-2 REC OUT”
under “[6] Function settings” at “SYSTEM SETUP” on pages 38
to “Off”.
(When this is done, analog recording in the Dolby Virtual Speaker
mode is not possible.)
(2) Playing in the DENON original surround modes
• This unit is equipped with a high performance DSP (Digital Signal Processor) which uses digital signal processing to synthetically recreate the
sound field. One of 6 preset surround modes can be selected according to the program source and the parameters can be adjusted according
to the conditions in the listening room to achieve a more realistic, powerful sound. These surround modes can also be used for program sources
not recorded in Dolby Surround Pro Logic or Dolby Digital.

MATRIX
Use this mode to achieve the feeling of a live concert in an arena with reflected sounds coming from all directions.
This mode creates the sound field of a live house with a low ceiling and hard walls. This mode gives jazz a very
vivid realism.
Use this to enjoy video game sources.
Select this when watching monaural movies for a greater sense of expansion.
Select this to emphasize the sense of expansion for music sources recorded in stereo. Signals consisting of the
difference component of the input signals (the component that provides the sense of expansion) processed for
delay are output from the surround channel.

5CH STEREO
In this mode, the signals of the front left channel are output from the left surround channel, the signals of the front
right channel are output from the right surround channel, and the same (in-phase) component of the left and right
channels is output from the center channel. This mode provides all speaker surround sound, but without directional
steering effects, and works with any stereo program source.
Surround modes indicated “*” can be selected when the speaker setting is set to 5.1 channels.
Depending on the source being played, the effect may not be very strong.
In such cases, try other surround modes without paying too much attention to their names and choose the one you feel is best.
NOTE 1: When playing sources recorded in monaural, the sound is one-sided if only one channel (left or right) is input, so input signals to both
channels.
Personal Memory Plus
This set is equipped with a personal memorize function that automatically memorizes the surround modes and input modes selected for the
input different sources. When the input source is switched, the modes set for that source last time it was used are automatically recalled.
• Settings automatically stored in the memory for the individual input functions using the Personal Memory Plus function:
q Surround mode (including 2-channel decode mode and Dolby Pro Logic II mode settings)
w Input mode selection function
The surround parameters, TONE/SDB control settings and playback level balance for the different output channels are memorized for each
surround mode.
