16. SURROUND MODE

With the Surround Mode buttons the available surround sound modes can be selected. The selected Surround mode is permanently indicated in the display Area. The Surround Mode buttons scroll through the available surround sound modes:

With any of the Digital Inputs 1, 2 & 3 (press Video 1, 2 or 3 respectively to select), the T741 automatically recognizes if the selected source carries a Dolby Digital™ or DTS™ signal. When no Dolby Digital or DTS signal is available, the Surround Mode buttons scrolls through the other available surround sound modes:

Stereo ➜ Pro Logic ➜ Ears ➜ Stereo, etc.

With either Dolby Digital or DTS surround mode engaged, the Dolby Pro Logic and Ears surround modes cannot be selected. Dolby Digital and DTS has six independent channels available in total: Left, Center, Right, Surround left, Surround Right and an “Effects Channel” (Subwoofer).

The Dolby Digital signal allows for several channel configurations. DTS digital surround is an Encode/Decode system that currently delivers six discrete channels (5.1) of “Master-Quality” up to 24-bit audio. Dolby Pro Logic decodes the center and surround sound signals embedded in stereo movie sound tracks from e.g. video, Laser Disc or TV. To decode correctly, the source must be a Dolby Surround or Dolby Stereo soundtrack.

In the EARS (Enhanced Ambiance Retrieval System) Surround Mode, a realistic level of ambience of surround sound is added to a normal stereo source such as a CD or FM radio.

NOTES

•Dolby Digital or DTS are only available as a Surround Mode if the source is either Dolby Digital or DTS and a Digital Audio input is used.

•An external source such as a decoder or DVD player with a decoder built-in (MPEG for instance) can be connected to the 5.1Ch input (No. 3 on the rear panel). When the EXT 5.1 CH. input is selected, no other surround modes are available.

To obtain the best performance possible it is important that the system and all speakers have been set up correctly.

17. SET UP

This button is used to configure the T741 to match with the specific speakers in your system. This setup procedure should be done when you first install your system, and subsequently when new or different speakers are attached, or when the speaker positions are changed.

The SET UP facility uses a “menu” system that is 3 layers deep to accomplish the speaker setup. The Front Panel display will give you feedback on where you are in the menu system at any given moment. By first pressing the SET UP button and then turning the VOLUME/SETUP knob all menu items can be accessed.
