SURROUND SOUND
19
Surround sound gives you a complete new listening sensation.
You will have the feeling of being in the middle of the action,
because sound is coming from everywhere around you. Look
out for TV broadcasts, audio and video tapes and discs with
the 3, 1, or marks
which are encoded for multichannel surround sound. You
should prefer Dolby Digital, DTS or MPEG Multichannel to get
the best out of your receiver.
Your receiver is able to reproduce DTS surround sound. DTS is
a premium multichannel surround sound system available on
DVD discs, laserdiscs and audio discs. Consult your software
dealer on the availability of DTS software in your region.
Notice that DVD discs do not always carry full multichannel
surround. To be sure that a disc is multichannel encoded
consult your dealer.
Most ordinary stereo tapes and discs can be replayed using
surround sound settings with good results. If the reproduction
is distorted in surround mode, switch to normal stereo mode.
The availabilty of the various surround sound modes
described depends on the number of speakers used and the
incoming sound information.
With surround sound on, you can switch through the different
surround modes. Note that the possibilities are related to
speaker setup defined in the receivers menu.
If a digital surround signal is detected, the receiver will scroll
either DOLBY DIGITAL, DTS or MPEG.
