Surround Mode
One of the most important features of
the DSC 1000 Controller is its ability to
reproduce a full multichannel
surround sound field from digital
sources, analog matrix surround
encoded programs and standard
stereo programs.
Selection of a surround mode is
based on personal taste, as well as
the type of program source material
being used. For example, motion
pictures, CD’s or TV programs bearing
the logo of one of the major surround
encoding processes, such as Dolby
Surround should be played in either
the Dolby Pro Logic II Movie (with
movies) or Music (with music)
surround mode.
Surround modes and audio formats
are selected using the remote. Press
the AUDIO button
5
to toggle
between the surround modes/audio
formats available on the DVD disc. As
you press the button, the Surround
mode/audio format name will appear
on your video display.
When a digital source is present, the
DSC Controller will automatically
select and switch to the correct mode
(Dolby Digital or DTS), regardless of
the mode that has been previously
selected.
To listen to a DVD-program in
traditional two channel stereo, using
the front left and front right speakers
only (plus the subwoofer if installed
and configured), follow the
instructions shown in the chapter
DVD Sound Mode, in the Audio
Settings Menu.
