●Press SURROUND ON/OFF repeatedly to select surround or stereo mode.

➜ The availability of the various surround sound modes depend on the number of speakers used and the incoming sound information available on the disc.The available output modes are shown below.

Dolby Digital Surround

Dolby Digital (also known as AC-3 or Dolby 5.1) and MPEG Multichannel delivers a realistic and dynamic sound similar to theater and cinema. It requires connection of all five speakers (front left/right, center, surround left/right) and subwoofer for correct Dolby Digital Surround sound reproduction. Each channel plays its own unique role in providing the right sound. Front left, center and right join two surround speakers to reproduce high, mid and bass frequencies in five full-range channels of surround. Bass rumble, explosions and low frequency effects you feel are delivered through the subwoofer. A large number of DVD discs have been recorded in Dolby Digital Surround.

DTS Surround

The DTS Surround is a cinema surround sound format that offers superior digital audio performance. DTS offers more clarity and definition especially for higher tones. The better sound quality is a result of the limited sound compression (3:1 instead of 11:1 for Dolby Digital) and the 20-bit resolution.

Dolby Pro Logic Surround

The Dolby Pro Logic Surround system is a specially encoded two-channel analog format that will produce sound through four speaker channels (front left, center, front right, monaural surround) when a Dolby Pro Logic Decoder is used. It is also compatible with stereo systems but the user will only have two-channel (front left & right) of sound.
