5.10 EFFECTS

The Dolby Pro Logic decoder in the AVM 2 takes analog or digital encoded

2-channel source material and decodes it into Dolby Pro Logic surround sound.

Other 2-channel stereo source material can use the AVM 2’s simulated effects that

also use all speakers to create a variety of surround sound acoustic environments.

Each Source keeps its own setting – what you select stays with that source only. You can therefore set the

VCR to ‘Dolby Pro Logic’ while the FM/AM Tuner can be set to ‘Hall’ and CD set to ‘Club’.

Note: DVD Digital 5.1 Source Material: The AVM 2 automatically decodes and outputs 5.1 surround

sound (Dolby Digital, DTS, MPEG). Effects are not available.

DVD Digital Dolby Pro Logic Source Material: The AVM 2 automatically decodes and outputs

Dolby Pro Logic surround sound. Effects are not available.

VCR Analog Dolby Pro Logic Source Material: With analog, there is no ‘flag’ to tell the AVM 2 that

this is Dolby Pro Logic encoded material. Dolby Pro Logic must therefore be ‘turned-on’ manually

by selecting it in the Effects options. Other Surround Effects are available.
