DOLBY PRO LOGIC
In Dolby Surround mode, video tapes and laser discs bearing the
DOLBY SURROUND trademark are decoded to reproduce the multi-channel
P R O L O G I C
Surround sound of a movie theater.
LIVE
This mode reproduces the acoustics of a live performance.
ARENA Surround
This mode recreates the atmosphere of a concert in a domed sta- dium.
STEREO
Select this mode when you do not wish to use the surround mode. All input sound is output from the front speakers.
Dolby Digital Surround mode is used to decode media such as DVD discs bearing the D I G I T A L mark and Dolby Digital broadcasts. Dolby Digital is a new-generation digital audio format for multi- channel surround audio.
Adding to the conventional five full range channels, Dolby Digital supports one LFE (Low Frequency Effects) channel, which is used solely for correcting the bass range by using an independent sub- woofer. Dolby Digital is sometimes referred to as 5.1-channel for- mat since this LFE channel is calculated as 0.1.
This mode simulates the atmosphere of a concert hall. Suitable for classical music.
DOLBY DIGITAL
HALL
Before using a Surround mode, make sure the Speaker Setup parameters have been set (refer to page 14). Once the parameters have been set, it is not necessary to set them again.
Dolby Pro Logic Surround provides four channels of surround sound (Left/Right front, Center, and monaural Surround channels), with importance placed on the Center speaker.
RC- 386M
This receiver has five Surround modes. Select a suitable mode according to the type of music you are listening to, the media used, and your personal preference. The selected surround mode is automatically stored along with the selected source. Next time you select the same source again, the stored surround mode will be automatically recalled.
