CIRCLE SURROUND

CS-Cinema, CS-Music

Circle Surround is designed to enable multi-channel surround sound playback of non-encoded and multi-channel encoded material. Backward compatibility provides listeners with 5.1 channels of surround performance from entire collection of music and film, including broadcast, videotape and stereo recorded music. Regarding to source material, you can select CS-Cinemamode or CS-Musicmode.

MULTI CH. STEREO

This mode is used to create a wider, deeper and more natural soundstage from two channel source material.

This is done by feeding the left channel signal to both left front and left surround speaker and the right channel signal to both right front and right surround speaker. Additionally, the center channel reproduces a mix of the right and left channel.

VIRTUAL

This mode creates a virtualized surround sound experience from a two-speaker (front L and R) playback system playing any multi- channel audio source (such as found on DVDs and digital broadcasts), including Dolby Digital, , Dolby Pro Logic or DTS.

CAUTION

NOTE for Dolby Digital Surround EX signal

*When playing Dolby Digital Surround EX-encoded software in 6.1 channels, it is required to set the THX Surround EX mode. Note that some of Dolby Digital Surround EX-encoded software does not contain the identification signal. In this case, set the THX Surround EX manually.

NOTE for 96kHz PCM audio

*AUTO, Source- DIRECT, and STEREO modes can be used when playing PCM signals with a sampling frequency of 96 kHz (such as from DVD-Video discs that contain 24 bit, 96 kHz audio). If such signals are input during playback in one of the other surround modes, output from SR8200 will be muted.

*Certain DVD player models inhibit digital output. For details, refer to the player’s operation manual.

*Some DVD formatted discs featured copy protection. When using such disc, 96 kHz PCM signal is not output from the DVD player. For details, refer to the player's operation manual.

NOTE for DTS signal

*Connected DVD-player, laser-disc player or CD-player needs to support DTS-digital output. You may not be able to play some DTS source signals from certain CD players and LD players even if you connect the player to the SR8200 digitally. This is because the digital signal has been processed (such as the output level, sampling frequency, or frequency response) and the SR8200 cannot recognize the signal as DTS data.

*If you press the PAUSE or SKIP button on the player while playing a DTS source, a short noise may be heard. This is not a malfunction. In such cases, select the surround mode the “DTS” or “DTS-ES”.

*If DTS cinema, DTS music or DTS-ES mode is selected, digital input cannot be switched to analog input.

*When the analog input function has been selected, Surround mode cannot be switched to DTS cinema, DTS music or DTS-ES mode.

*While signals from DTS-laser disc or CD are playing in another Surround mode, you cannot switch to digital input or from digital input to analog input by INPUT SETUP in OSD menu system or A/D button.

*You cannot listen to DTS-encoded source in MULTI ROOM.

*The outputs for the VCR 1 OUT, VCR 2 OUT, TAPE OUT, and CD- R OUT output analog audio signals. Do not record from CDs or LDs that support DTS using these outputs. If you do, the DTS-encoded signal will be recorded as noise.
