This chapter describes how to set up the receiver to enjoy surround sound. You can enjoy multi channel surround when playing back software encoded with Dolby Digital or DTS.

You can take advantage of surround sound simply by selecting one of the receiver’s
CINEMA
The sound modes in this genre are designed for use when playing back movie software (DVD, LD, etc.) encoded with multi channel surround sound or Dolby Pro Logic. In addition to decoding the surround sound, this genre also includes sound modes that provide the reflections and reverberation typically found in movie theaters. The sound modes in this genre have little effect on two- channel stereo sources (CD, MD, etc.).
VIRTUAL 3D
This genre contains compelling applications of the Sony Digital Cinema Sound digital signal processing technology. These sound modes shift the sound away from the actual speaker locations to simulate the presence of several “virtual” speakers. Like the CINEMA genre, this genre is most effective when playing back movie software encoded with multi channel surround sound.
MUSIC etc.
The sound modes in this genre are designed for use with standard audio sources (like CD) and TV broadcasts. These modes add reverberation to the source signal to create powerful soundfields that make you feel as if you were in a concert hall or stadium (etc.). Use the sound modes in this genre with
A.F.D.
This genre contains the “Auto Format Decoding” sound mode which presents the sound exactly as it was encoded, without adding any reverberation (etc.).
To fully enjoy surround sound, you must register the number and location of you speakers. See
