11DENON ORIGINAL SURROUND MODES

The AVR-4802 is equipped with a built-in high performance DSP (digital signal processor) that uses digital processing to recreate sound fields artificially. Select one of the eight provided surround modes according to the program source you want to play and adjust the parameters to achieve a more real, powerful sound field.

Surround modes and their features

 

 

Select this to achieve an atmosphere like that of a movie theater with a large screen. In this mode, all signal sources are played

1

WIDE SCREEN

in the 7.1-channel mode, including Dolby Pro Logic and Dolby Digital 5.1-channel sources. Effects simulating the multi surround

 

 

speakers of movie theaters are added to the surround channels.

 

 

 

2

SUPER STADIUM

Select this when watching baseball or soccer programs to achieve a sound as if you were actually at the stadium. This mode

provides the longest reverberation signals.

 

 

 

 

 

3

ROCK ARENA

Use this mode to achieve the feeling of a live concert in an arena with reflected sounds coming from all directions.

 

 

 

4

JAZZ CLUB

This mode creates the sound field of a live house with a low ceiling and hard walls. This mode gives jazz a very vivid realism.

 

 

 

5

CLASSIC CONCERT

Select this for the sound of a concert hall rich in reverberations.

 

 

 

6

MONO MOVIE

Select this when watching monaural movies for a greater sense of expansion.

(NOTE 1)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Select this to emphasize the sense of expansion for music sources recorded in stereo. Signals consisting of the difference

7

MATRIX

component of the input signals (the component that provides the sense of expansion) processed for delay are output from the

 

 

surround channel.

 

 

 

 

 

The front left channel signals are output to the surround and surround back signal left channels, the front right channel signals are

8

5CH/7CH STEREO

output to the surround and surround back signal right channels, and the in-phase component of the left and right channels is output

 

 

to the center channel. Use this mode to enjoy stereo sound.

 

 

 

Depending on the program source being played, the effect may not be very noticeable.

In this case, try other surround modes, without worrying about their names, to create a sound field suited to your tastes.

NOTE 1: When playing sources recorded in monaural, the sound will be one-sided if signals are only input to one channel (left or right), so input signals to both channels. If you have a source component with only one audio output (monophonic camcorder, etc.) obtain a “Y” adaptor cable to split the mono output to two outputs, and connect to the L and R inputs.

Personal Memory Plus

This set is equipped with a personal memorize function that automatically memorizes the surround modes and input modes selected for the input different sources. When the input source is switched, the modes set for that source last time it was used are automatically recalled.

The surround parameters, tone control settings and playback level balance for the different output channels are memorized for each surround mode.
