SOUND ENHANCEMENT SYSTEMS
This receiver is equipped with several built-in sound
enhancement systems.
Dolby Pro Logic and Dolby 3 Stereo
This surround system reproduces theater-like
surround sound from Dolby-encoded software. The
Pro Logic mode uses the built-in circuit to steer the
Left, Center, Right and Surround channel audio
signals and uses all 5 speakers and an optional
subwoofer to play decoded Dolby Pro Logic
program sources such as a TV and VCR.
ATTENTION: To play Dolby Pro Logic, you must have 5 speakers
connected.
The 3-Stereo mode will redirect the surround
signals to the front left and right speakers when only
the front and center speakers are used
.
ATTENTION: To play 3-Stereo, you must have 3 speakers connected.
Use this mode to suit your speaker system
configurations (such as size and number of
speakers) and type of program (such as VCR).
Dolby Digital
The Dolby Digital mode lets you enjoy full digital
surround from software processed in the Dolby
Digital format. Dolby Digital provides better sound
quality and more powerful presence than
conventional Dolby Surround.
This unit is equipped with Dolby Digital 5.1-channel
so that you can enjoy enhanced full digital surround
sound. Being different from Dolby Pro Logic in
which only four channels ( Front Left, Front Right,
Centre and Rear) are used, the new system
provides stereo separation of the rear speakers
(Rear-Right, Rear-Left). These 5 channels, together
with the subwoofer channel for bass sounds
(counted as .1 channel), constitute as 5.1-Channel (
or 6 Channels ) input for Dolby Digital that brings
you the most sophisticated sound enjoyment.
ATTENTION: To play Dolby Digital 5.1, you must connect the DVD to
your receiver with digital signal (Coaxial or Optical) + the sound
source (DVD software) must be 5.1 encoded.
Recording Dolby Digital Source
To record from a digital (Optical or Coaxial) input
using a VCR/Tape that is connected to the receiver,
the sound must be set to stereo first. Press SURR.
MODE to select stereo mode.
If the receiver is set to 5.1 sound information
recording from surround speakers, the center
speaker will not be recorded.
