[] DSP SURROUND SIMULATION

The AVR-2803/983 is equipped with a high performance DSP (Digital Signal Processor) which uses digital signal processing to synthetically recreate the sound field. One of seven preset surround modes can be selected according to the program source and the parameters can be adjusted according to the conditions in the listening room to achieve a more realistic, powerful sound. These surround modes can also be used for program sources not recorded in Dolby Surround Pro Logic, Dolby Digital or DTS.

Select this mode to enjoy a virtual sound field, produced from the front 2-channel speakers

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

7 5CH/7CH STEREO output to the surround and surround back signal dght 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.
