LISTENING IN DOLBY PRO LOGIC MODE
To really appreciate what the STAV-3860 can do, sit back and experience a movie encoded in Dolby
Digital or Dolby Surround with five speaker surround sound creating theater-like sound effects in your
living room. When choosing software, look for the mark on DVD discs, laser discs, and
video tapes (sometimes, unmarked software is also recorded in Dolby Surround).
To enjoy Dolby Digital surround sound from DVD discs, you'll need to have connected your DVD player
(or Dolby Digital decoder) to the receiver's 5.1 channel inputs (see page 10), and set the receiver to DVD
5.1CH input mode. See "Listening in DVD 5.1 Channel Imput Mode" on page 21.
Many video tapes feature Dolby Surround/Pro Logic. The STAV-3860 takes advantage of this to provide
dramatic and realistic surround sound. The effect can be further enhanced by choosing a Pro Logic with
DSP mode. Follow the steps on this page when playing Dolby Surround or Dolby Pro Logic material.
When using any of these modes, it's really important that your speakers are set up correctly (see pages
11–12), and that you've worked through the steps in Setting Up for Surround Sound on pages 13–15.
