Using the Surround Processor

The built-in surround processor provides three types of surround programs — Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby 3-

Channel Logic, and JVC’s Hall Surround.

What is surround?

The sound heard in a concert hall or a movie theater consists of direct sound and indirect sound: early reflections and reflections from behind. The reflected sounds are always delayed by the distances of the ceiling and walls from the listener. These reflections are some of the most important elements of the acoustic surround.
