16. SURROUND MODE
With the Surround Mode buttons the available surround sound modes
can be selected. The selected Surround mode is permanently indicated in
the display Area. The Surround Mode buttons scroll through the available
surround sound modes:
With any of the Digital Inputs DVD, SAT, VCR or CD (press DVD, SAT, VCR
or CD respectively to select), the T742 automatically recognizes if the
selected source carries a Dolby Digital™ or DTS™ signal. When no Dolby
Digital or DTS signal is available, the Surround Mode buttons
scrolls through the other available surround sound modes:
With either Dolby Digital or DTS surround mode engaged, the Dolby Pro
Logic and Ears surround modes cannot be selected. Dolby Digital and
DTS has six independent channels available in total: Left, Centre, Right,
Surround left, Surround Right and an “Effects Channel” (Subwoofer).
The Dolby Digital signal allows for several channel configurations. DTS
digital surround is an Encode/Decode system that currently delivers six
discrete channels (5.1) of “Master-Quality” up to 24-bit audio. Dolby Pro
Logic decodes the centre and surround sound signals embedded in stereo
movie sound tracks from e.g. video, Laser Disc or TV. To decode correctly,
the source must be a Dolby Surround or Dolby Stereo soundtrack.
In the EARS (Enhanced Ambiance Retrieval System) Surround Mode, a
realistic level of ambience of surround sound is added to a normal stereo
source such as a CD or FM radio.
