SURROUND
The following surround settings will reproduce the live sound you would hear in concert halls,
sports stadiums, movie theaters, etc. when you set up your speaker system as shown in the section
on audio system setup on pages 20-21. The surround system is most effective with movie and other
stereo material that is Dolby Surround encoded, and played on a stereo VCR.
When using WIRELESS SOUND, REAR SPEAKERS mode must be chosen to receive the Surround audio program.
To enter the SURROUND MODE, use CURSOR ̆ or ̄ to highlight then press CURSOR ̈ to select SURROUND MODE of your
choice.
Now press CURSOR ̆ or ̄ to highlight, then press CURSOR ̈ to select function to be adjusted.
Use CURSOR ̇ or ̈ to adjust the volume of rear and main speakers. Main volume also controls AUDIO TO HI-FI output level.
Adjust main volume first.
Each surround setting has separate main and rear volume controls, except OFF and DOLBY 3 STEREO which have no rear volume
controls. DOLBY PRO LOGIC and DOLBY 3 STEREO also have center volume controls, while MATRIX and HALL have balance
controls. (Balance while in DOLBY PRO LOGIC and DOLBY 3 STEREO modes is adjusted by using the TEST TONE volume
controls.) The center and rear volume will increase or decrease when main is adjusted, keeping an equal balance between the
surround channels.
The maximum volume allowed for the center and rear will depend on how loud the main volume is set.
SURROUND OFF
Use this for normal stereo/mono broadcasts.
MATRIX SURROUND
Listener is surrounded by many sound sources such as a sporting event, etc.
HALL SURROUND
Resonant sound-Listener has the feeling of being in a concert hall.
NOTE: Some TV systems do not transmit optimum audio channel separation which can reduce the effectiveness of the MATRIX
SURROUND function.
