Activating the Surround Sounds, On the DAP mode

DOLBY SURROUND

Activating the Surround Sounds

The built-in surround processor provides three groups of programs — JVC 3D-PHONIC mode, DAP (Digital Acoustic Processor) mode, and surround modes (Dolby Surround and JVC Theater Surround).

You cannot use the DAP mode and surround mode at the same time. When you turn on the DAP mode, the surround mode is turned off (if it has been on), and vice versa.

On JVC 3D PHONIC mode

JVC 3D-PHONIC mode gives you such a nearly surround effect as it is reproduced through the Dolby Surround decoder, which is widely used to reproduce sounds with a feeling of movement like those experienced in movie theaters. JVC 3D-PHONIC mode is the result of research on sound localization technology carried out at JVC for many years and makes it possible to reproduce the surround sound with only two front speakers.

On the DAP mode

The sound heard in a concert hall or club consists of direct sound and indirect sound

—early reflections and reflections from behind. Direct sounds reach the listener directly without any reflection. On the other hand, indirect sounds are delayed by the distances of the ceiling and walls. These direct sounds and indirect sounds are the most important elements of the acoustic surround effects. The DAP mode can create these important elements, and gives you a real “being there” feeling by using the front speakers and rear speakers.

On surround modes

With this receiver, you can use two types of the surround mode.

Dolby Surround

Dolby Surround has been developed to reproduce the important elements of the

acoustic surround at home.

To watch the soundtracks of video software

bearing the mark * which includes the same encoded surround

information as found in Dolby Stereo films, the receiver can provide you with 2 Dolby

Surround modes (Dolby Pro Logic and Dolby 3ch Logic).

Dolby Pro Logic: Select this mode when optional center and rear speakers are connected.

Dolby 3ch Logic: Select this mode when a center speaker is connected without rear speakers.

JVC Theater Surround

In order to reproduce a more realistic sound field in your listening room while playing

soundtracks of video software bearing the mark			DOLBY SURROUND		, JVC Theater Surround

has been designed to give you clear vocals and to create a real ”being there” feeling. The sound is reproduced through the front speakers, rear speakers and center

speakers.
