Selecting a Surround Mode
Selecting a surround mode can be as simple or
sophisticated as your individual system and tastes. Feel
free to experiment, and you may nd a few favorites
for certain sources or program types. You can nd
more detailed information on surround modes in Audio
Processing and Surround Sound, below.
To select a surround mode, press the Surround Mode
Select buttons. Each press advances to the next
available surround mode.
Digital surround-sound modes, such as Dolby Digital
and DTS systems, are available only with specially
encoded programs, such as those available via HDTV,
DVD and Blu-ray Disc media and digital cable or
satellite television. Other surround modes such as
Dolby Pro Logic II may be used with digital or analog
signals to create a different surround presentation or to
use a different number of speakers.
Surround mode selection depends upon the number
of speakers in your system, the programs you are
watching or listening to, and your personal tastes.
