CIRCLE SURROUND
CS-Cinema, CS-Music
Circle Surround is designed to enable multi-channel surround sound
playback of non-encoded and multi-channel encoded material.
Backward compatibility provides listeners with 5.1 channels of
surround performance from entire collection of music and film,
including broadcast, videotape and stereo recorded music.
Regarding to source material, you can select CS-Cinema mode or
CS-Music mode.
MULTI CH. STEREO
This mode is used to create a wider, deeper and more natural
soundstage from two channel source material.
This is done by feeding the left channel signal to both left front and left
surround speaker and the right channel signal to both right front and
right surround speaker. Additionally, the center channel reproduces a
mix of the right and left channel.
VIRTUAL
This mode creates a virtualized surround sound experience from a
two-speaker (front L and R) playback system playing any multi-
channel audio source (such as found on DVDs and digital
broadcasts), including Dolby Digital, , Dolby Pro Logic or DTS.
CAUTION
NOTE for Dolby Digital Surround EX signal
* When playing Dolby Digital Surround EX-encoded software in 6.1
channels, it is required to set the THX Surround EX mode. Note that
some of Dolby Digital Surround EX-encoded software does not
contain the identification signal. In this case, set the THX Surround
EX manually.
NOTE for 96kHz PCM audio
* AUTO, Source- DIRECT, and STEREO modes can be used when
playing PCM signals with a sampling frequency of 96 kHz (such as
from DVD-Video discs that contain 24 bit, 96 kHz audio). If such
signals are input during playback in one of the other surround
modes, output from SR8200 will be muted.
* Certain DVD player models inhibit digital output. For details, refer to
the player’s operation manual.
* Some DVD formatted discs featured copy protection. When using
such disc, 96 kHz PCM signal is not output from the DVD player. For
details, refer to the player's operation manual.
NOTE for DTS signal
* Connected DVD-player, laser-disc player or CD-player needs to
support DTS-digital output. You may not be able to play some DTS
source signals from certain CD players and LD players even if you
connect the player to the SR8200 digitally. This is because the
digital signal has been processed (such as the output level,
sampling frequency, or frequency response) and the SR8200
cannot recognize the signal as DTS data.
* If you press the PAUSE or SKIP button on the player while playing a
DTS source, a short noise may be heard. This is not a malfunction.
In such cases, select the surround mode the “DTS” or “DTS-ES”.
* If DTS cinema, DTS music or DTS-ES mode is selected, digital
input cannot be switched to analog input.
* When the analog input function has been selected, Surround mode
cannot be switched to DTS cinema, DTS music or DTS-ES mode.
* While signals from DTS-laser disc or CD are playing in another
Surround mode, you cannot switch to digital input or from digital
input to analog input by INPUT SETUP in OSD menu system or A/D
button.
* You cannot listen to DTS-encoded source in MULTI ROOM.
* The outputs for the VCR 1 OUT, VCR 2 OUT, TAPE OUT, and CD-
R OUT output analog audio signals. Do not record from CDs or LDs
that support DTS using these outputs. If you do, the DTS-encoded
signal will be recorded as noise.
