Using the Surround Modes

This unit activates a variety of Surround modes automatically. The basic settings and adjustments stored (see pages 16 to 22) are applied automatically.
Reproducing Theater Ambience
In a movie theater, many speakers are located on the walls to reproduce impressive multi-surround sounds, reaching you from all directions. With these many speakers, sound localization and sound movement can be expressed. Surround modes built in this receiver can create almost the same surround sounds as you can feel in a real movie theaterwith only a limited number of the speakers.
Introducing the Surround Modes

Dolby Digital*1

Dolby Digital is a digital signal compression method, developed by Dolby Laboratories, and enables multi-channel encoding and decoding (1ch up to 5.1ch). When Dolby Digital signal is detected through the digital input, indicator lights up on the display. the

Dolby Digital 5.1CH

Dolby Digital 5.1CH (DOLBY DIGITAL) encoding method records and digitally compresses the left front channel, right front channel, center channel, left surround channel, right surround channel, and LFE channel signals (total 6 channels, but the LFE channel is counted as 0.1 channel. Therefore, called 5.1 channel). Dolby Digital enables stereo surround sounds, and sets the cutoff frequency of the surround treble at 20 kHz, compared to 7 kHz for Dolby Pro Logic. As such, the sound movement and being-there feeling are enhanced much more than Dolby Pro Logic. Another digital surround encoding format introduced by Dolby Laboratories is Dolby Digital EX, which adds the third surround channels, called surround back. Compared to the conventional Dolby Digital 5.1CH, these newly added surround back channels can reproduce more detailed movements behind you while viewing the video software. In addition, surround sound localization will become more stable. You can use Virtual Surround Back (see page 20) when playing back Dolby Digital Surround EX software. This function creates the great surround effect from the behind as if you have connected the surround back speakers.

When the Dolby Digital or DTS multi-channel digital signal stops coming in, PLII MOVIE will be activated.
For analog sources and digital 2-channel software, you can select one of the following Surround modes. Each time you press SURROUND, Surround modes change as follows:

Using the DSP Modes

This unit activates a variety of DSP modes automatically. The basic settings and adjustments stored (see pages 16 to 22) are applied automatically.
Reproducing the Sound Field
The sound heard in a concert hall, club, etc. consists of direct sound and indirect soundearly reflections and reflections from behind. Direct sounds reach the listener directly without any reflection. On the other hand, indirect sounds are delayed by the distances of the ceiling and walls. These direct sounds and indirect sounds are the most important elements of the acoustic surround effects. DSP modes can create these important elements, and give you a real being there feeling. Reflections from behind

To use DSP modes, press DSP so that the DSP modes change as follows. The DSP indicator also lights up on the display.
