14  DSP  SURROUND  SIMULATION 
l  This  unit  is equipped  with  a high  performance  DSP  (Drgital  Signal  Processor)  which  uses  digital  signal  processing  to  synthetically  recreate  the 
sound  field.  One  of  7 preset  surround  modes  can  be  selected  accordrng  to  the  program  source  and  the  parameters  can  be adjusted  accordrng 
to the  conditions  in the  listening  room  to  achieve  a more  realistic,  powerful  sound.  These  surround  modes  can also  be used  for  program  sources 
not  recorded  in  Dolby  Surround  Pro  Logic  or  Dolby  Digrtal. 
In this  mode,  the  signals  of  the  front  left  channel  are output  from  the  left  surround  channel,  the  srgnals  of  the  front

right  channel  are  output  from  the  right  surround  channel,  and the  same  (in-phase)  component  of  the  left  and  right 
channels  is output  from  the  center  channel,  This  mode  provides  all speaker  surround  sound,  but  without  directional 
steering  effects,  and  works  with  any  stereo  program  source.

MONO  MOVIE 
(NOTE  I) 
Select  this  when  watching  monaural  movies  for  a greater  sense  of  expansron.

JAZZ  CLUB 
This  mode  creates  the  sound  field  of  a live  house  with  a  low  ceiling  and  hard  walls.  This  mode  gives  jazz  a very 
vivid  realism.

Select  this  to  emphasize  the  sense  of  expansion  for  music  sources  recorded  in  stereo.  Signals  consisting  of  the 
difference  component  of  the  input  signals  (the  component  that  provides  the  sense  of  expansion)  processed  for 
delay  are  output  from  the  surround  channel.

.% Depending  on  the  program  source  being  played,  the  effect  may  not  be very  noticeable. 
In this  case,  try  other  surround  modes,  without  worrying  about  their  names,  to  create  a sound  field  suited  to  your  tastes 
NOTE  1:  When  playing  sources  recorded  in  monaural,  the  sound  will  be  one-sided  if  signals  are  only  input  to  one  channel  (left  or  right),  so  input 
signals  to  both  channels.  If you  have  a source  component  with  only  one  audio  output  (monophonic  camcorder,  etc.1 obtain  a “Y”  adaptor 
cable  to  split  the  mono  output  to  two  outputs,  and  connect  to  the  L and  R inputs. 
NOTE: 
DIRECT,  STEREO  and  5CH  STEREO  mode  can  be  used  when  playing  PCM  signals  with  a sampling  frequency  of  96  kHz  (such  as  from  DVD- 
Video  discs  that  contain  24  bit,  96  kHz  audio).  If such  signals  are  input  during  playback  in the  other  surround  modes,  the  mode  automatically 
switches  to  STEREO. 
Personal  Memory  Plus 
This  set  is  equipped  with  a personal  memorize  function  that  automatically  memorizes  the  surround  modes  and  input  modes  selected  for  the 
input  different  sources.  When  the  input  source  is  switched,  the  modes  set  for  that  source  last  time  it was  used  are automatically  recalled. 
% The  surround  parameters,  tone  control  settings  and  playback  level  balance  for  the  different  output  channels  are  memorized  for  each 
surround  mode.
