To enjoy Surround mode or Stereo mode
This receiver has six 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 auto-
matically stored along with the selected source. Next time you
select the same source again, the stored surround mode will be
automatically recalled.
Surround Modes
The TX-DS484’s surround sound enables you to enjoy the pres-
ence of a movie theater or concert hall in your room.
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.
The configuration of the speakers are very important for the sur-
round sound. Refer to “connecting speakers” on page 10.
DOLBY DIGITAL Surround,
DTS (Digital Theater System) Surround
This 5.1-channel digital surround format enables you to individu-
ally record and play five full-range (20Hz–20kHz) channels (left
and right front, center, two surround channels) plus an LFE chan-
nel (Low Frequency Effect) for the low-range effect sound. It will
create a realistic sound that could be heard in the theaters and con-
cert halls.
DOLBY DIGITAL: Select this option when you play a DVD video
that has a mark.
DTS: Select this option when you play a DVD player, laser disc, or
CD that has a mark.
