To enjoy a video source with the Dolby Pro Logic Surround or Dolby Digital (AC-3) decoded

When you select the program No. 1, 2 or 3, and the input signal of the source is 2-channel stereo, Dolby Pro Logic Surround is decoded. When some program is selected and the input signal of the source is encoded with the Dolby Digital (AC- 3), Dolby Digital (AC-3) is automatically decoded.

*The following indicators on the display panel show you what sound processing is being made.

Note

If the input signals of source encoded with the Dolby Digital (AC-

3)are in 2-channels only, the sound processing for them is similar to that for analog or PCM audio signals.

To cancel the effect sound

The EFFECT button on the front panel and the EFFECT ON/OFF key on the remote control transmitter make it simple to compare the normal stereo sound with the fully processed effect sound.

To cancel the effect sound and monitor only the main sound, press the EFFECT ON/OFF key or the EFFECT button. Press the EFFECT ON/OFF key or the EFFECT button a second time to restore normal operation.

Notes

If the effect sound is canceled when signals encoded with the Dolby Digital (AC-3) are input to this unit, signals of all channels are mixed and are output from the main speakers.

If the EFFECT button or the EFFECT ON/OFF key is pressed to turn effect sounds OFF when the Dolby Digital (AC-3) is decoded, it may happen that sound is output faintly or not output normally depending on a source. In that case, press the EFFECT button or the EFFECT ON/OFF key to turn effect sounds ON, or use input signals not encoded with the Dolby Digital (AC-3).
