SURROUND SOUND
HALL
The sound reproduction is enhanced and a slight echo is
added. This gives the impression of being in a large room.
Can only be used in stereo mode.
SURROUND
The surround mode enables normal surround sound
reproduction with 4 or 5 speakers. Depending on the source
material, Dolby Surround Pro Logic, Dolby Digital or DTS is
reproduced.
PRO LOGIC, DOLBY DIGITAL, DTS
In addition to SURROUND, the surround mode used
depending on the source material will be displayed. In case
of digital surround, the sound format AC-3 (for Dolby Digital) or
DTS will be displayed, followed by the sound channels, available
on the source (e. g. DVD).
Example: AC-3 3/2.1 Dolby Digital, 3 front channels,
2 surround channels and a
subwoofer channel.
AC-3 3/1.0 Dolby Digital, 3 front channels,
1 (mono) surround channel without
subwoofer signal.
DTS 3/2.1 DTS, 3 front channels, 2 surround
channels and a subwoofer channel.
FRONT-3 STEREO
The surround sound is muted. 3 Stereo lets you listen to
surround sound without using the surround speakers.
STEREO
All sound is reproduced and played through the front left and
right speakers. This enables standard stereo reproduction.
Virtual Surround
Your receiver is able to reproduce one or more forms of virtual
surround sound. Virtual surround gives a more real life sound
impression by creating phantom speakers in addition to or
instead of real speakers. The position of the listener
influences the surround effect. The area where the effect is
best is shown in grey.
The level of virtual surround sound effect can be adjusted in
the setup menu. The following surround sound modes are
available:
3D SURROUND
No rear speakers are needed. The sound of the rear channel
is simulated by the front speakers. Surround sound is
simulated through the front left, right and center speakers.
MULTI FRONT (FR 975 only)
Phantom speakers are created next to the left and right front
speaker.
MULTI REAR (FR 975 only)
Phantom speakers are created next to the left and right rear
speaker.
NATURAL SURROUND (FR 975 only)
Phantom speakers are created next to the left and right front
and rear speakers.
Note: The availability of MULTI FRONT and
MULTI REAR depends on the sound channels on the
source material (FR 975 only).
NIGHT MODE (only on the remote control)
The loud parts of the sound are lowered and the soft passages
are raised. You can enjoy surround sound without disturbing
sleeping children or neighbors. Night mode only works with
Dolby Digital, and only if supported by the source material.
