SURROUND SOUND
Surround sound gives you a completely 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 or DTS to get the most out of your receiver.
The FR 975 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 or DTS.
