ENJOYING SURROUND SOUND

•Surround sound effect will not work properly if the signal passes through a graphic equalizer.

Please refer to your equalizer operating instructions for guidance on switching off (or defeating) the equalizer. Note:

•Before surround playback, first perform the SPEAKER SETUP procedure, etc. for optimum performance. (For details, refer to “Speaker Setup” on page 19.)

Depending on the input digital signal format, select the desired decoding mode.

1	• Each time the AUTO button is pressed, the decoding mode
	changes as follows :
SURROUND MODE	IN-AUTO : The input digital signal format(DTS, Dolby
AUTO
	Digital, MPEG or PCM(2 channel stereo), etc.) used by the
or	selected digital input source is detected automatically to
	perform the necessary decoding process for optimum
	surround mode.
AUTO	IN-DTS : The DTS signal processing is performed only
	when DTS signals are input.
	IN-PCM : The PCM signal processing is performed only when PCM
	signals are input.

Notes :

•Only when the digital input is selected as signal input for the input sources except TUNER, TAPE, AUX and EXTERNAL IN, the decoding mode can be selected.

•Noise may be generated at the beginning of playback and while searching during DTS playback in the IN-AUTO mode. In this case, try playing in the IN-DTS mode.

[ ] : Possible only when surround back speaker is set to “None”.

( ): Possible only when surround back speaker is not set to “None” while playing the digital signals from DTS sources except DTS ES 6.1 channel sources.

Notes:

•When the selected decoding mode is not matched to the input signal format, the “DIGITAL” indicator flickers and no sound is heard. Therefore, be sure to select the required decoding mode and the available surround mode according to the input signal format.

•When the EXTERNAL IN is selected as an input source, the decoding and surround modes cannot be selected.

•When the digital signals are not inputted, the desired surround mode cannot be selected.
