DOLBY PRO LOGIC AND SOUND SPACE
(See also: Remote Control)
The Dolby Pro Logic and Sound Space buttons
switches the 917 from stereo operation (Front Left
and Right speakers only) to one of two types of sur-
round mode:
The Sound Space modes are used to enhance stereo
source material and the Dolby Pro Logic mode is
used to play back Dolby Surround encoded movies,
programmes and CDs.
15. DOLBY PRO LOGIC
The DOLBY PRO LOGIC button switches the 917
into Dolby Pro Logic mode. The Dolby Pro Logic
decoder circuit will work with all inputs except for
MONITOR 1 & 2, but will only function properly with
material encoded in Dolby Surround. The button indi-
cator illuminates when this mode has been selected.

16. DELAY
Press DELAY to set the overall delay time applied to
the Surround channels to 15ms, 20ms, 25ms or
30ms. The delay time will be shown in the display
panel for a few seconds after the DELAY button has

Delay)
17. SOUND SPACE
The three Sound Space modes can be used to create
a surround sound image from a stereo signal. The
Sound Space circuits will work with ail inputs except
for MONITOR 1 & 2. The button indicator illuminates
when each mode is selected.
CLUB: Press CLUB to re-create the sound of a small
venue. This is more suitable for recordings of
soloists, small ensembles and jazz.
HALL: Press HALL to create the sound of a larger
concert hall. Try the HALL setting for larger orchestral
works and rock.
STADIUM: Press STADIUM to re-create the sound of
a large stadium. The STADIUM setting can be used
for rock and pop and the largest orchestral works.
18. SIBILANCE FILTER
The tonal balance of some Laser Disc sound tracks
can sound over-bright which leads to sibilance on
speech (a hissing of splashy sound on consonants).
The SIBILANCE FILTER reduces the extreme high
frequency content, restoring a satisfactory tonal bal-
ance. The button indicator illuminates when the SIBI-
LANCE FILTER is active. The filter only functions
when the 917 is in Dolby Pro Logic or Sound Space
Modes.
19. CDR
The 917 features the CONTROLLED DYNAMIC
RANGE (CDR) circuit, which is used for listening at
lower levels. This is a sophisticated dynamics con-
troller that selectively raises the level of the quieter
parts of the soundtrack, whilst leaving the louder
parts unaltered.
Using CDR at lower listening levels (eg late at night),
the apparent dynamics of the soundtrack can be
maintained, without the dialogue becoming too quiet
to hear comfortably.
The button indicator illuminates when CDR is active.
CDR only functions when the 917 is in Dolby Pro
Logic or Sound Space modes.
SETTING UP THE SURROUND SYSTEM.
To work at its best, the output levels of the 917’s sur-
round facilities need to be adjusted so that there is an
even balance of sound from all the speakers in the
system. The Delay time for the Surround speakers
