Advanced Sound Control
Sound Enhancement Systems
This receiver is equipped with several built-in sound
enhancement systems to give you the sound quality
you have once dreamed of – but now comes true:
Dolby Pro Logic and Dolby 3 Stereo
This surround system reproduces theater-like surround
sound from Dolby-encoded software. The Pro Logic
mode uses the built-in circuit to steer the Left, Center,
Right and Surround channel audio signals and uses all
five speakers and an optional subwoofer to play
decoded Dolby Pro Logic program source, such as TV
and VCR. The 3 Stereo mode will redirect the
Surround signals to the front left and right speakers
when only the front and center speakers are used.
Use this mode to suit your speaker system configura-
tions (such as size and number of speakers) and type
of program (such as VCR).
5.1 ch Input for Dolby Digital
The Dolby Digital mode lets you enjoy full digital
surround from software processed in the Dolby Digital
format. Dolby Digital provides better sound quality
and more powerful presence than conventional Dolby
Surround.
When the soundtrack of a Dolby Digital movie was
made, all the sound effects are mixed down to six sep-
arate channels of digital audio, and these six channels
of independent digital audio are pressed to a single
stream of digital data on your DVD. When you play it
by your DVD player, the receiver decodes this stream
of digital data back to six audio channels for playback.
Dolby Digital is optimal for DVD and SAT.
This unit is equipped with Dolby Digital 5.1-channel
input terminal so that you can enjoy enhanced full
digital surround sound. Being different from Dolby
Pro Logic in which only four channels ( Front Left,
Front Right, Centre and Rear ) are used, the new sys-
tem provides stereo separation of the rear speakers
(Rear-Right, Rear-Left ). These 5 channels, together
with the subwoofer channel for bass sounds ( counted
as 0.1 channel ), constitue as 5.1-Channel ( or 6
Channels ) Input for Dolby Digital that brings you the
most sophisicated sound enjoyment.
Press 6 CH on the unit or DVD•6 CH button on the
remote to select the input connected to an external 6-
channel decoder. Press again return to the most
recently selected mode.You can only adjust Sound
Control, SLEEP mode, DIM selection, Source Buttons
and MUTE when this mode is selected.
Stereo
The Stereo mode uses the two main channel outputs
from the front speakers. Use this mode if you have
connected the front speakers only.
DSP (Digital Sound Processor)
These digital sound effects resemble sounds in a real
environment such as Stadium, Concert, Theater,
Arena, Church, Club. DSP automatically converts ana-
log audio signals to digital ones which enables you to
adjust the sound without degrading the sound quali-
ty. Different modes will give you different feel of size
and type of listening environment.
