SURROUND EFFECTS
The AG-V3020 provides four surround effect modes:
two for sources encoded with Dolby Surround
information and two for sources not encoded with this
information.
‘Available Surround Modes =
DOLBY PRO LOGIC Surround
Certain movies are encoded with Dolby Surround;
when you watch these movies in a theater, you hear
sound from speakers both at the front and the rear,
resulting in a unique "surround sound" effect. For
example, it can create the effect of a car or plane
moving from the front right to the rear left of the
theater. Many of these movies are available on video
tapes and videodiscs, and the AG-V3020 is equipped
to recreate the same surround sound effect that you
hear in a movie theater in your home. This is one of its
main features, making the ideal receiver for your
home audio/video system.
To enjoy the Dolby Pro Logic Surround effect, you will
have to install one pair of front speakers, one center
speaker and one pair of rear speakers (Detailed
speaker installation is mentioned later), and you will
have to play video sources carrying the

DOLBY 3CH LOGIC Surround
To enjoy the Dolby Surround effect without rear
speakers, select this mode instead of Dolby Pro Logic
mode. Front Speakers receive rear (surround) speaker
signals in addition to front Speakers signals. Center
speaker works similarly as that of Dolby Pro Logic
mode. In this way, you can enjoy playback sound
having superior sound positioning.
THEATER Surround
This
mode
provides
a
three
dimensional
effect
similar
to
that
of
movie
theater.
With
this
mode,
you
can
enjoy
a
surround
effect
similar
to
Dolby
Surround
sound
even
when
playing
a
video
program
which
is
not
encoded
with
the
Dolby
Surround
system.
STADIUM Surround
The
"stadium"
effect
creates
efficient,
reverberated
sounds
to
obtain
an
expansive
sound
field.
For
music
sources
like
rock
concerts,
you
can
feel
as
if
you
were
at
the
live
concert
seated
very
close
to
the
stage.
For
sports
programs,
you
can
enjoy
powerful
sound
reproduction,
thus
obtaining
a
stadium
effect.
