Using TruSurround

TruSurround technology lets you take advantage of any multichannel format

 

without having to add extra speakers or equipment. Using two speakers,

 

TruSurround “virtually” places the individual audio channels where they are

 

supposed to be, as though you had speakers all around you. To enable

 

TruSurround, set the SRS TruSurround menu button “On”.

 

Note: TruSurround and Dolby Digital are mutually exclusive features. TruSurround is

 

unavailable when the receiver is decoding a Dolby Digital (AC-3) audio track.

Using Dolby Digital audio

(Model HAH-SA only) If you want the receiver to automatically decode Dolby Digital (AC-3) audio when available in selected programming, set the Dolby Digital menu button “On.” If your A/V receiver is Dolby Digital-capable, set the Digital Output menu button to “Dolby Digital.” Highlight and SELECT the Dolby Digital Options menu button.
