How Do I Adjust the Sound?

•Stereo: Stereo listen mode provides standard stereo sound to the front left and right speakers.

•Dolby 3 Stereo: Use Dolby 3 Stereo for systems that do not have surround speakers. When in the Dolby 3 Stereo mode, surround information is redirected to the front left and right speakers. This mode is designed for use with Dolby Surround sources, but can also improve sound imaging and definition for programs that are not Dolby Surround encoded.

•Dolby Pro Logic: Dolby Pro Logic is a decording process which provides theater-like surround sound from Dolby Surround encoded sources (such as videotape and LaserDisc software that are marked with the Dolby Surround logo). It offers excellent sound movement across the front of the room and a surround ambiance that seems to immerse you in a movie. Your receiver is equipped with a Dolby Pro Logic surround decoder to let you enjoy the wide variety of cur- rently available Dolby Surround home video software.

•DSP (Digital Signal Processing): DSP allows you to create your own custom surround sound environments and use them with any source (except Dolby Digital and MPEG). You can select the ambience of an Arena, Jazz Club or Theater, and then modify the parameters to ‘fine-tune’ the environ- ment to your taste. (See “Applying Digital Signal Processor (DSP) Effects” on pageÊ 22 for details about making DSP adjustments.)

•Dolby Digital (AC-3):Dolby Digital uses an encode/decode process based on its theatrical digital surround sound technology. The five main channels are full-frequency and independent, so sound can completely envelop you or soar anywhere in the room, just like at the movies.

Compared with Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Digital has more clarity, greater surround envelopment, and more realistic sound movement between channels.
