To enjoy Surround mode or Stereo mode
This receiver has five Surround modes. Select a suitable mode according to the type of music you are listening to, the media used, and your
personal preference. The selected surround mode is automatically stored along with the selected source. Next time you select the same
source again, the stored surround mode will be automatically recalled.
Surround Modes
Before using a Surround mode, make sure the Speaker Setup
parameters have been set (refer to page 14). Once the parameters
have been set, it is not necessary to set them again.
DOLBY DIGITAL
Dolby Digital Surround mode is used to decode media such as
DVD discs bearing the mark and Dolby Digital broadcasts.
Dolby Digital is a new-generation digital audio format for multi-
channel surround audio.
Adding to the conventional five full range channels, Dolby Digital
supports one LFE (Low Frequency Effects) channel, which is used
solely for correcting the bass range by using an independent sub-
woofer. Dolby Digital is sometimes referred to as 5.1-channel for-
mat since this LFE channel is calculated as 0.1.
DOLBY PRO LOGIC
In Dolby Surround mode, video tapes and laser discs bearing the
trademark are decoded to reproduce the multi-channel
Surround sound of a movie theater.
Dolby Pro Logic Surround provides four channels of surround
sound (Left/Right front, Center, and monaural Surround channels),
with importance placed on the Center speaker.
HALL
This mode simulates the atmosphere of a concert hall. Suitable for
classical music.
LIVE
This mode reproduces the acoustics of a live performance.
ARENA Surround
This mode recreates the atmosphere of a concert in a domed sta-
dium.
STEREO
Select this mode when you do not wish to use the surround mode.
All input sound is output from the front speakers.
