ENJOYING SURROUND SOUND

Surround sound effect will not work properly if the signal passes through a graphic equalizer.

Please refer to your equalizer operating instructions for guidance on switching off (or defeating) the equalizer.

Note : Before surround playback, first perform the SPEAKER SETUP procedure, etc. on the OSD menu for optimum performance.(For detail, refer to “SETTING THE SPEAKER SETUP” on page 34.)

Depending on the input digital signal format, select the desired decoding mode.

signals processing is performed only when Dolby Digital signals are input.

 

 

* DTS mode(“ DTS” lights up) : The DTS signal processing is performed

 

 

only when DTS signals are input.

*MPEG mode(“MPEG” lights up) : The MPEG signal processing is performed only when MPEG signals are input.

*PCM mode(“PCM” lights up) : The PCM signal processing is performed only when PCM signals are input.

Notes :

Only when the digital input is selected as signal input for the input sources except TUNER and AUX, the decoding mode can be selected.

Noise may be generated at the beginning of playback and while searching during DTS playback in the auto mode. To minimize this possibility, try playing in the DTS mode.

Select the desired surround mode.

When the analog input is selected as signal input and analog stereo signals are input, you can select the same surround modes as those listed for the PCM input.

However, when DTS or MPEG signals are input in the following decoding modes, the corresponding surround mode will be automatically selected regardless of using the MULTI CONTROL knob or DSP MODE button:

*When DTS signals are input in the auto or DTS mode, the corresponding DTS mode will be selected.

*When MPEG signals are input in the auto or MPEG mode, MPEG mode will be selected.

Notes:

When the selected decoding mode is not matched to the input signal format, the indicator of the signal being input flickers, meaning the required process cannot be performed and no sound is heard. Therefore, be sure to select the required decoding mode and the available surround mode according to the input signal format.

When the 7.1 CH DIRECT is selected as an input source, the surround mode cannot be selected.

When the source direct function is activated, the decoding mode and surround mode cannot be selected.
