Playing sources

Using the multi-channel sound modes

There are three basic multi-channel sound modes: Auto, Surround and Advanced Surround. The Stereo mode (available in all three modes) bypasses the multi-channel sound modes and downmixes multi-channel sources to your two-front speakers.

Auto

The AUTO mode automatically decodes Dolby Digital, DTS or Dolby Surround sources. You can identify Dolby Digital

software by the 1or marks. Most Dolby Surround software is marked 3, but unmarked software may also incorporate Dolby Surround.

Surround modes

The surround mode options (below) can add surround sound to regular stereo sources.

Choose one of the following to add depth to a 2 channel source:

Pro Logic

This mode gives 4.1 channel surround sound. It is less sensitive to the quality of the source material, so may be useful when Pro Logic II Movie/ Music modes do not give good results.

07

Pro Logic II Movie

This mode gives 5.1 channel surround sound. It is suitable for movies, especially those recorded in Dolby Surround. The channel separation and movement of surround effects is comparable to Dolby Digital 5.1.

Pro Logic II Music

This mode gives 5.1 channel surround sound and is suitable for music. Compared to Pro Logic II Movie, the surround effect is more enveloping.

Advanced Surround modes

These are designed to be used with multi channel surround sound audio/visual sources (like DVDs and LDs). Most Advanced Surround modes are designed to be used with film soundtracks, but some modes are also suited for music sources. Try different settings with various soundtracks to see which you like.

Advanced Music

Simulates the acoustic environment of a large concert hall and is suitable for music or musical sources marked 1

() or .

Advanced Movie

Simulates the relaxed environment of a movie theater, and is suitable for watching movies on sources marked 1

() or .
