Using enhanced mode for movie soundtracks

Pressing VIDEO 1 or VIDEO 2 initially turns the system on in enhanced mode, with bass and treble settings specially designed for proper playback of movie soundtracks. Enhanced mode is turned on or off using the FILM BASS button on the display (Figure 24). When enhanced mode is on, the words FILM BASS appear on the display. Pressing TAPE initially turns the system on in the standard listening mode. FILM BASS cannot be engaged for AM, FM or CD.

Note: Enhanced mode provides more bass and less treble, as is specified for proper playback of movie soundtracks.

Using simulated surround for mono movie material

Bose® Videostage® decoding can process a one-channel program into five-speaker sound, directing the signals so that dialogue remains locked on-screen, while music and ambient effects fill the room. You experience a surround sensation, providing extra enjoyment when you watch older, pre-stereo movies. This feature can be used for mono TV, FM, and AM programs. It is automatically turned on when a Dolby Digital bitstream indicates that it contains a mono program.

For other mono program sources, you can engage or disengage this feature using the Personal™ music center. Press MENU and hold it until drc or 1ch:5 appears on the display. If drc is displayed, press either of the top or arrow buttons to select 1ch:5 (Figure 25). Then use the lower or arrow buttons to select between On or – – (Off). Initially, this feature is On for AM and off ( – – ) for all other sources. If you change the setting for any source, the system is reset to these settings when you turn off a room.
