Using Advanced Sound Options

Your receiver has four special sound options: Dolby Pro Logic Surround, Dolby 3CH Logic, Studio-Effect Surround, and Simulated Surround. These special options enhance a program source.

Notes:

To get the full benefit from programs encoded with Dolby Surround Sound, you need a stereo VCR.

Dolby Surround does not operate correctly if the signal passes through a graphic equalizer. If you connected an equalizer to the TAPE 2 MONITOR jacks, do not select TAPE 2 MONITOR when you listen to Dolby Surround signals.

To activate Dolby Pro Logic Surround or Dolby 3CH Logic, press DOLBY PRO LOGIC, then press CENTER MODE on the remote control to select the Dolby Pro Logic options (normal, wide, or phantom) or Dolby 3CH Logic.

For studio effect or simulated surround, press SFC MODE until the desired option appears on the display. On the remote control, press SURR MODE to select the sound options; when you select the Dolby Pro Logic, use CENTER MODE to make a selection (see “Sound Mode Adjustments (Remote Control Only)” on

Page 21).

Dolby Pro Logic Surround

Dolby Pro Logic Surround puts you in the middle of the action. The center- and rear-channel speakers add incredible realism by directing the sound to the appropriate speakers, making you feel like you are really there. You can find hundreds of movies, television shows, and compact discs produced with Dolby Surround.

Dolby 3CH Logic

Dolby 3CH Logic produces a more spacious sound field than is possible with ordinary stereo playback, by combining the front and rear speaker sounds. Select this mode when you play a Dolby Surround Sound program and do not have rear speakers. The rear channel’s sound is sent to the front left and right speakers.

Studio Effect

Studio Effect gives the effect of listening in a recording studio. The front speak- ers provide normal stereo, and the rear speakers provide a subtly reverberated sound. Select this mode when you listen to sources not encoded with Dolby Surround.

Simulated Surround

Simulated Surround simulates a surround effect when you listen to a monaural (mono) source.
