Sound
This chapter describes how to set up
the receiver to enjoy surround sound.
You can enjoy the Dolby Surround-
encoded software using this receiver.
You can take advantage of surround sound simply by
selecting one of the pre-programmed “sound fields” that
your receiver provides. You can enjoy the sound of a
movie theater or concert hall in your own home. You can
even customize a sound field by adjusting its parameters.
Sound fields are classified into two genres.
One genre is “CINEMA.” The CINEMA-genre sound
fields are designed for enjoying movies recorded on
videos or laser discs. Six sound fields are included in the
CINEMA genre and they are grouped into two types.
PRO LOGIC sound field can be used to reproduce plain
surround sound. When you select the PRO LOGIC sound
field, the receiver decodes the software that is encoded
using the Dolby Pro Logic system to obtain surround
sound. The surround sound is reproduced in the exact
way that the sound engineer of the software intended.
Other sound fields in the CINEMA genre are designed to
add more reverberation effects by incorporating Digital
Cinema Sound technology. When you select these sound
fields, the receiver adds the reflection and reverberation
effects that are typical in movie theaters to the decoded
Dolby Pro Logic Surround sound. You can enjoy the
sound that you would experience in the movie theater.
Another genre is “MUSIC.” When a sound field in this
genre is selected, the receiver adds the reverberation to
the normal 2-channel stereo sound. You can apply these
sound fields when playing a CD or watching TV
programs to obtain the surround effects of concert hall or
a stadium.
To enjoy Dolby Pro Logic Surround sound fully, do the
procedure on “Dolby Surround Setup” starting from page
12 to select the center mode and adjust the speaker
volume.
