Dolby Digital Surround mode is used to decode media such as DVD discs bearing the D I G I T A L mark and Dolby Digital broadcasts. Dolby Digital is a new-generation digital audio format for multi- channel surround audio.

Adding to the conventional five full range channels, Dolby Digital supports one LFE (Low Frequency Effects) channel, which is used solely for correcting the bass range by using an independent sub- woofer. Dolby Digital is sometimes referred to as 5.1-channel for- mat since this LFE channel is calculated as 0.1.

This mode simulates the atmosphere of a concert hall. Suitable for classical music.

Before using a Surround mode, make sure the Speaker Setup parameters have been set (refer to page 14). Once the parameters have been set, it is not necessary to set them again.

Dolby Pro Logic Surround provides four channels of surround sound (Left/Right front, Center, and monaural Surround channels), with importance placed on the Center speaker.
