3.All sound field programs have two “sub-programs” (see “DESCRIPTIONS OF THE SOUND FIELD PROGRAMS”). The sub-programs are selected using the PROGRAM Selector on the front panel or the Parameter +/– keys on the remote control unit. The CONCERT HALL 1 program, for example, contains the sub- programs “Hall A in Europe” and “Hall B in Europe”. When the CONCERT HALL 1 program is first selected, the “Hall A in Europe” sub-program will be selected and displayed on the front panel. To select “Hall B in Europe”, press the Parameter + or – key. To return to Hall A in Europe, press the Parameter + or – key again. The same procedure applies to all other programs.

The sub program selection can also be done simply by pressing the corresponding Program Select key on the remote control.

* If you will change the sub-program by pressing a Program Select key while watching the monitor screen, press a key as described below;

If the display type is a full display, press the key of the corresponding program once. If the display type is a simple display or no display, press the key twice.

To enjoy a video source with the surround-sound effects of Dolby Pro Logic Surround or Dolby Surround AC-3

Select the program No. 10, No. 11 or No. 12 that suits your preference. Dolby Surround is decoded automatically distinguishing the input signal.

If the selected input signal is the AC-3 RF signal or digital AC-3 input signal, Dolby Surround AC-3 is decoded. If the selected input signal is another type of signal, Dolby Pro Logic Surround is decoded.

*You can know which decoding is being made by watching on the front panel. When the Dolby Surround AC-3 is being decoded, “

AC-3” lights up, and when the Dolby Pro Logic Surround is being decoded, “ PRO LOGIC” lights up on the front panel. In addition, the name of the program (or sub-program) on the display panel or the monitor screen will change according to the type of decoding. (See pages 55–57 for details.)

NOTE: Make sure that the source you will play is encoded with Dolby Surround. Dolby Surround will not be decoded to the source that is not encoded with Dolby Surround.
