TUNER CONTROLS AND OPERATIONS

MEMORY

The MEMORY button allows you to store 24 preset radio stations.

CENTER LEVEL

The CENTER LEVEL UP () and DOWN () buttons control the volume of the center speaker only when the system is in Dolby Pro Logic or Dolby 3 Stereo modes.

TEST TONE

The TEST TONE button can only be used in the Dolby Pro Logic mode. This feature allows you to balance your speakers as they emit a sound, called the “pink noise,” in the left, center, right and surround channels sequentially for three seconds each.

NOTE: This process is explained more in-depth in “Balancing Your Speakers,” page 4.

SURROUND MODE

The SURROUND MODE button lets you select the Pro Logic, 3 Stereo, Hall, Simulated or Bypass modes.

PRO LOGIC — The Pro Logic mode uses all five speakers so the sound envelopes the room.

3 STEREO — The 3 Stereo mode uses the two main and one center speaker.

HALL — The Hall mode recreates the effect of listening to a concert or watching a play from inside a music hall. It utilizes the main and surround speakers.

SIMULATED —The Simulated mode tries to recreate the feeling of being where the sound is coming from, whether you are watching a movie or listening to a CD. It utilizes the main and surround speakers.

BYPASS —The Bypass mode utilizes just the main speakers.

CENTER MODE

The CENTER MODE button lets you select the Normal, Phantom or Wide mode. These modes are only available when Dolby Pro Logic or Dolby 3 Stereo are active.

NORMAL — The NORMAL mode can be active in Dolby Pro Logic and Dolby 3 Stereo modes. The Normal mode takes the low bass frequencies from the center channel and distributes it to the main speakers to maintain the program’s original integrity.

PHANTOM — The PHANTOM button is only active in Dolby Pro Logic mode and uses the two main and two surround speakers. The center speaker is off and the sound that usually comes from it is distributed through the left and right main speakers. Do not use the Phantom mode to balance your speakers.

WIDE — The WIDE mode can be active in Dolby Pro Logic and Dolby 3 Stereo modes. This mode utilizes the three front speakers - left, right and center - with all audio delivered through the center speaker. The center speaker reproduces the same bass levels as the left and right main speakers.
