SOUND- FUNCTIONS

Press MENU, 3, ENTER, 3, ENTER to select SURROUND.

Use the CURSOR buttons to select and adjust the volume front and rear speakers. Front volume also controls AUDIO to Hi-Fi.

• SURROUND OFF

Use this for normal stereo/mono broadcasts.

• MATRIX SURROUND

Listener is surrounded by many sound sources such as a sporting event, etc.

NOTE: Some TV systems do not transmit optimum audio channel separation that can reduce the effectiveness of the MATRIX SURROUND function.

• HALL SURROUND

Resonant sound - Listener has the feeling of being in a concert hall.

• PRO LOGIC

Dolby Pro Logic provides for separate sound channels: left, center, right and surround.

For a properly encoded program marked the center channel contains the dialogue for the program viewed. The left and right channels produce sound effects that will match the action on the TV screen. For example, Dolby Pro Logic will enhance the effect of a car viewed driving from the left side of the TV screen to the right side.

The surround channel (speakers) are placed behind the viewing area to add additional spatial sound effects.

Dolby "phantom" mode prevents loss of center channel sound by splitting it equally to the left and right TV speakers. In a similar way, Dolby "3 channel" splits up the surround channel sound to the stereo system amplifier left and right speakers.

To fully benefit from Dolby Pro Logic Surround, it is recommended that the surround speaker system be complete as shown on page 32.
