LISTENING MODE

Dolby Digital (also known as AC-3 or Dolby 5.1) surround sound system delivers a realistic and dynamic sound similar to the latest movie theaters. All five speakers and subwoofer must be connected for correct Dolby Digital Surround Sound reproduction. Each channel plays its own unique role in providing the proper sound. Front left, center and front right speakers join rear left and rear right to reproduce high, mid and bass frequencies in separate five full-range channels of surround sound. Bass rumble, explosions and low frequency effects you feel are heard through the subwoofer. Most DVD movie discs have been recorded in Dolby Digital surround sound mode. This set will automatically select the correct Dolby mode according to source provided.

1 Press the SOURCE button on the front panel of the main unit repeatedly to select one of the input source, or press the COAXIAL, OPTICAL, GAME, TV/VCR or AUX button on the REMOTE to select your required audio input source directly. The corresponding indicator will light.

NOTE: This set will decode and automatically play back whatever sound system was recorded on the DVD or audio disc. For a Dolby Digital 5.1 channel recorded DVD disc, the orange Dolby Digital indicator will be on and sound will come out of 5 speakers plus the subwoofer. For a Stereo DVD disc (Dolby Digital 2 channel), both the orange Dolby Digital and red stereo indicators will be on and the sound will only come out of the 2 front speakers plus the subwoofer. For other stereo audio source, the red STEREO indicator will be on, and the sound will only come out of the 2 front speakers plus the subwoofer. To manually change a stereo (2 channel) audio to Dolby Pro Logic, press the SURROUND button. The sound will come out of all 5 speakers plus the subwoofer. (However the REAR speakers may be lower because this is

not the natural way the sound was recorded. This is normal.)

2 Press the SURROUND button on the REMOTE control to select 5.1 channel sound format. Press the STEREO button to select the stereo mode. The chart on the left shows different indicators for different signals in different modes.

NOTE: If the input signal is Dolby Digital sound format, the orange DOLBY DIGITAL indicator will be on, two listening modes can be selected: Dolby Digital or STEREO. Try each to see what you prefer. Some programs may sound better in the STEREO mode.

A. If a Dolby Digital 2.1 channel sound input signal is received, both the Stereo and Dolby Digital indicators will be on. Sound will only come out of 2 front speakers plus the subwoofer.

B. If a stereo sound signal is received from AUX, only the STEREO indicator will be on. Sound will come out of 2 front speakers plus the subwoofer.
