Using the Advanced surround effects

The Advanced surround effects can be used for a variety of additional surround sound effects. Most Advanced Surround modes are designed to be used with film soundtracks, but some modes are also suited for music sources. Try different settings with various soundtracks to see which you like.

ADVANCED

SURROUND

Press ADVANCED SURROUND repeat- edly to select a listening mode.

ADV. MOVIE – Simulates the relaxed environment of a movie theater, and is suitable for watching movies.

ADV. MUSIC – Simulates the acoustic environment of a large concert hall and is suitable for music or musical sources.

TV SURR. – This mode produces surround sound for both mono and stereo TV sources. It is useful for older movies recorded with mono soundtracks.

SPORTS – This is designed for sports programs with alot of action, adding to the excitement by bringing background action to the forefront.

GAME – Useful when playing video games. It works especially well with sound moving from left to right in game software with alot of movement.

EXPANDED – This mode is especially designed to give sound depth to stereo sources, and lets you hear two-channel (stereo) signals as simulated multi- channel surround sound. Use with Dolby

Pro Logic for a stereo surround effect. You can also use with Dolby Digital sources for a wider stereo field than the Standard modes.

5-STEREO (VSX-D514) /6-STEREO (VSX- D714/D814) – This can be selected to give multichannel sound to a stereo source, using all of the speakers in your setup.

PHONES SURROUND – When listening through headphones, you can still get the effect of overall surround.

Depending on the source and the sound mode you have selected, you may not get sound from the surround back speakers in your setup. For more on this, refer to Using the Surround Back Channel (SB CH) on page 39.

If you press ADVANCED SURROUND when the headphones are connected, the PHONES SURROUND mode will automat- ically be selected.

You can’t use the Advanced Surround listening modes with 96kHz PCM or (VSX- D714/D814 only) DTS 96kHz/24 bit sources.

The Advanced Surround effects can be adjusted in the range of 10 to 90 by pressing EFFECT +/. The effect level can be set for each Advanced Surround mode. The Standard mode cannot be changed.
