Sony AV-DV75 manual Selecting Dolby Surround, To Select A Dolby Surround Mode, Check the following

This unit is equipped with not only the Dolby Pro Logic decoder but also Dolby Digital decoder.

The unit and the center and surround speakers (standard) assure full-scale home theater sound. When playing back discs or video software that have been recorded in Dolby Pro Logic or Dolby Digital Surround, astonishingly realistic sound surrounds the listener to create a new level of audio/visual entertainment.

Independent control of the five channels allows the listener to enjoy the same type of sound reproduction experienced in movie theaters. Voices are reproduced in the front and center sound field, while ambient sounds like cars and crowds are reproduced on all sides of the listener for an incredibly lifelike audio/video experience. Please read the following carefully to “tune” the system’s output to match the characteristics of your listening space.

Check the following:

●Before enjoying the DOLBY SURROUND sound, adjust the speaker sound levels to the proper balance (seepage 16).

●Make sure the speakers are properly connected and positioned (see pages 4 and 5).

●Make sure the TV set and video unit are properly connected (see page 3).

●Make sure the disc and video tape, etc., support Dolby Pro Logic or Dolby Digital Surround.

SELECTING DOLBY SURROUND

The optimal Dolby Digital Surround and Dolby Pro Logic modes and settings depend on the type and placement of the speakers. It is recommended that the optional Aiwa speakers should be used for all channels, for example, the SX-AVR2700 speaker system.

Check the current type and placement of your speakers and select the recommended mode accordingly.
