Listening in surround sound

You can listen to any source—stereo or multichannel, analog or digital—in surround sound. Surround sound is generated from stereo sources using one of the Dolby Pro Logic decoding modes.

SURROUND

•Press SURROUND repeatedly to select a listening mode (or press SURROUND then

use the (cursor up/down) buttons).

The listening mode choices that appear in the display will vary according to the type of source that’s playing.

•Auto – See Auto listening mode above.

•Dolby Digital / DTS – Dolby Digital or DTS decoding (depending on the source).

•Pro Logic – 4.1 channel surround sound for use with any two-channel source

•PL II Movie – Pro Logic II 5.1 channel surround sound, especially suited to movie sources, for use with any two-channel source

•PL II Music – Pro Logic II 5.1 channel surround sound, especially suited to music sources, for use with any two-channel source (see also Dolby Pro Logic II Music settings below)

•Stereo – See Listening in stereo below

•When listening in Dolby Digital / DTS mode, two-channel material will automatically be played in surround sound using Dolby Pro Logic II decoding.

•Dolby Digital / DTS sources that use only the center channel cannot be played back in surround sound.

Dolby Pro Logic II Music settings

When listening in Dolby Pro Logic II Music mode, there are three further parameters you can adjust: Center Width, Dimension, and Panorama.

1With Dolby Pro Logic II Music mode active, press SOUND MODE.

2 Use the	(cursor left/right) buttons
to select ‘C	Width’, ‘Dimen.’ or ‘Pnrm.’

•C Width (Center Width): Makes the center channel wider (higher settings) or narrower (lower settings)

•Dimen. (Dimension): Makes the sound more distant (minus settings), or more forward (positive settings)

•Pnrm. (Panorama): Creates more spacious surround sound

3 Use the (cursor up/down) buttons to adjust the setting.

Center Width is adjustable between 0 and 7; Dimension between –3and +3. Panorama is On or Off.
