Introduction to home theater
You are probably used to using stereo
equipment to listen to music, but may not be
used to home theater systems that give you
many more options (such as surround sound)
when listening to soundtracks.
Home theater refers to the use of multiple
audio tracks to create a surround sound effect,
making you feel like you're in the middle of the
action or concert. The surround sound you get
from a home theater system depends not only
on the speakers you have set up in your room,
but also on the source and the sound settings
of the receiver.
DVD-Video has become the basic source
material for home theater due to its size,
quality, and ease of use. Depending on the
DVD, you can have up to seven different audio
tracks coming from one disc, all of them being
sent to different speakers in your system. This
is what creates a surround sound effect and
gives you the feeling of ‘being there’.
This receiver will automatically decode Dolby
Digital, DTS, or Dolby Surround DVD-Video
discs, according to your speaker setup. In most
cases, you won’t have to make changes for
realistic surround sound, but other
possibilities (like listening to a CD with
multichannel surround sound) are explained in
Listening to your system
on page 34.
