IMPORTANT!

–The center and surround speakers only operate when the system is set to surround sound mode and the source material being played is recorded or broadcast in Dolby Digital, DTS, Dolby Pro Logic or Pro Logic II surround sound.

–Stereo broadcasts or recordings will produce some surround channel effects when played in a surround mode. However, monaural sources will not produce any sound from the surround speaker.

●Press SURROUND to select surround or stereo mode. ➜ The availability of the various surround sound modes depend on the number of speakers used and the incoming sound information available on the disc.The available output modes are shown below.

Notes

Surround sound is not available in DISC 6CH mode.

Dolby Digital Surround

Dolby Digital (also known as AC-3 or Dolby 5.1) and MPEG Multichannel delivers a realistic and dynamic sound similar to theater and cinema. It requires connection of all five speakers (front left/right, center, surround left/right) and subwoofer for correct Dolby Digital Surround sound reproduction. Each channel plays its own unique role in providing the right sound. Front left, center and front right join two surround speakers to reproduce high, mid and bass frequencies in five full-range channels of surround. Bass rumble, explosions and low frequency effects you feel are delivered through the subwoofer. (A large number of DVD discs have recorded in Dolby Digital Surround.)

DTS Surround

The DTS Surround is a cinema surround sound format that offers superior digital audio performance. DTS offers more clarity and definition especially for higher tones. The better sound quality is a result of the limited sound compression (3:1 instead of 11:1 for Dolby Digital) and the 20-bit resolution.

Dolby Pro Logic Surround

The Dolby Pro Logic Surround system is a specially encoded two channels analog format that will produce sound through four speaker channels (front left, center, front right, monaural surround) when a Dolby Pro Logic Decoder is used. It is also compatible with stereo systems but the user will only have two channels (Front left & Right) of sound.

Dolby Pro Logic II Surround

Dolby Pro Logic II Surround creates five full bandwidth output channels from two-channel sources.This is done using an advanced, high purity matrix surround decoder that extracts the spatial properties of the original recording without adding any new sounds or tonal colorations.

Movie mode

The movie mode is for use with stereo television shows and all programs encoded in Dolby Surround. The result is enhanced soundfield directionality that approaches the quality of discrete 5.1-channel sound.

Music mode

The Music mode is for use with any stereo music recordings, and provides a wide and deep sound space.

VSS (Virtual Surround Sound)

The Pro Logic MPEG or Dolby Digital surround channel is processed by a ‘virtualizer’ DSP to add surround effect from just the two front speakers.

Stereo

All sound is reproduced and played through the front left and right speakers.This enables standard stereo reproduction.
