SURROUND SOUND

About surround sound

Switching surround sound

Surround sound gives you a completely new listening sensation. You will have the feeling of being in the middle of the action, because sound is coming from everywhere around you. Look out for TV broadcasts, audio and video tapes and

discs with the 3, 1or marks which are encoded for multichannel surround sound. You should prefer Dolby Digital or DTS to get the most out of your receiver.

The FR 975 and MX 980D are able to reproduce DTS surround sound. DTS is a premium multichannel surround sound system available on DVD discs, laserdiscs and audio discs. Consult your software dealer on the availability of DTS software in your region.

Notice that DVD discs do not always carry full multichannel surround. To be sure that a disc is multichannel encoded consult your dealer.

Most ordinary stereo tapes and discs can be replayed using surround sound settings with good results. If the reproduction is distorted in surround mode, switch to normal stereo mode.

The availabilty of the various surround sound modes described depends on the number of speakers used and the incoming sound information.

With surround sound on, you can switch through the different surround modes. Note that the possibilities are related to speaker setup defined in the receivers menu.

If a digital surround signal is detected, the receiver will scroll either DOLBY DIGITAL or DTS.
