BASIC OPERATIONS

Selecting the Dolby Surround mode

You can enjoy the surround sound with discs bearing the mark *.

Preparation

•If your system is ready for the Dolby Pro Logic, make the connection between the player and your amplifier/receiver correctly according to “Basic connections” on page 2.

•Even if your audio system is for a normal stereo reproduction, including a stereo amplifier/receiver and two speakers, you can enjoy the pseudo-surround sound with 3D Phonic mode.

Operation

To select the Dolby Surround mode, use the DOLBY SURROUND button. Pressing this button cycles the modes as shown below.

NORMAL	WIDE	PHANTOM
(Pro Logic)	(Pro Logic)	(Pro Logic)
OFF	3D Phonic	3 STEREO

When any mode but OFF is selected, the DOLBY SURROUND button lights.

Select the mode depending on your system configuration.

NORMAL (Pro Logic):

Select this mode when the center speaker cannot reproduce the bass better than the front speakers. The bass portions of the center channel signals are output through the front speakers.

WIDE (Pro Logic):

Select this mode when the center speaker can reproduce the bass better than the front speakers. All signals of the center channel are output through the center speaker.

PHANTOM (Pro Logic):

Select this mode when you do not use a center speaker. The center speaker channel signals are output through the front speakers.

3 STEREO:

Select this mode when a center speaker is connected without rear speakers.

3D Phonic:

Select this mode when reproducing the surround sound with only two front speakers. It gives you very realistic surround effect as if the sound is reproduced through the Dolby Sur- round decoder.

This mode is the result of research on sound localization technology carried out at JVC for many years and make it possible to reproduce the surround sound with only two front speakers.
