Dolby Pro Logic & Dolby 3 Stereo

This surround system reproduces theater-like surround sound from

video software marked .

The PRO LOGIC mode uses the built-in adaptive matrix circuit to steer the Left, Center, Right and Surround channel audio signals. The 3 STEREO mode will redirect the Surround signal to the front left and right speakers when only the front and center speakers are used.

Dolby Digital

The DOLBY DIGITAL mode lets you enjoy full digital surround from software processed in the Dolby Digital format. Dolby Digital provides up to 5.1 channels of independent digital audio for better sound quality and more powerful presence than conventional Dolby Surround.

DVD 6-channel input

If you own a DVD player equipped with 6-channel output, this receiver allows you to obtain the full surround sound impact of DVD source material featuring multi-channel encoding. Since the source signals are digital and each channel is input independently, the resulting ambience is far superior to what can be achieved with conventional surround sound systems.

RDS (Radio Data System) tuner

The receiver is equipped with an RDS tuner that provides several convenient tuning functions: RDS Auto Memory, to automatically preset up to 40 RDS stations broadcasting different programs; station name display, to show you the name of the current broadcast station; and PTY search to let you tune stations by program type.

PTY (Program TYpe) search

Tune the stations by specifying the type of program you want to hear.
