SPEAKER CONFIGURATION

5-Speaker Configuration
This configuration is the most effective and recommended one. In this configuration, the center speaker is necessary as well as the rear speakers. If the program PRO LOGIC or 3 STEREO is selected, conversations will be output from the center speaker and the ambience will be excellent. Set the center channel mode to the NORM or WIDE position. (For details, refer to page 16.)
4-Speaker Configuration (without the center speaker)
The center speaker is not used in this configuration. If the program PRO LOGIC is selected, the center sound will be output from the left and the right main speakers. The program 3 STEREO has no effect in this configuration. However, the sound effect of other programs can be almost the same as that of the 5-speaker configuration. Be sure to set the center channel mode to the PHANTOM position. (For details, refer to page 16.) Main L Main R Main L Main R

USING DIGITAL SOUND FIELD PROCESSOR (DSP)
This unit incorporates a sophisticated digital sound field processor. The processor allows you to electronically expand and change the shape of the audio sound field from both audio and video sources, creating a theater-like experience in your listening room. In addition, this unit incorporates a Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder for multi-channel sound reproduction of sources encoded with Dolby Surround. The operation of the Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder can be controlled by selecting a corresponding DSP program. You can create an excellent audio sound field by selecting a suitable sound field program (this will, of course, depend on what you will be listening to), and adding desired adjustments.
Brief Overview of Digital Sound Field Programs
The following list gives you a brief description of the sound fields produced by each of the DSP programs. Keep in mind that most of these are precise digital recreations of actual acoustic environments. The data for these sound fields was recorded at actual locations using sophisticated sound field measurement equipment. Note The channel level balance between the left and right rear effect speakers may vary depending on the sound field you are listening in. This is due to the fact that most of these sound field recreations are actual acoustic environments.
FEATURE This program is used for playback of sources encoded with Dolby Surround. Dialog is oriented on the screen and effect sounds are effectively located on the left front, right front and rear surround sides respectively as the movie sound creater designed. This program is effective not only for playback of sources encoded with Dolby Surround, but also for sources not encoded with Dolby Surround or TV programs encoded with 2-channel stereo sound. With this program, 2-channel stereo sound is converted into 3-channels (left front, center and right front), so dialog is emphasized on the center position by the use of the center speaker. As no sound is output from the rear speakers, this program is also effective in a simple Audio/Video system without rear speakers. In this program, the center will appear to be deep behind the main speakers, creating an expansive large hall ambience. Orchestra and opera music are suited for this sound field. This program is ideally suited for rock music. You will experience a very dynamic or lively sound field.

Note This adjustment is useful only when the digital sound field program PRO LOGIC, ROCK or HALL is selected.
