SURROUND EFFECT
This unit has a built-in surround processor for adding presence and
an expansive effect to the sound.
• STUDIO:
Select this position to enjoy the effect of listening to music in a
recording studio.
The source sound is output as it is through the front speakers, with
reverberation output through the rear speakers.
This is particularly suitable for a source that has a lot of
reverberation.
• SIMULATED SURROUND:
The "SIMULATED SURROUND" creates effects of reverberated and
reflected sound from the walls and ceiling similar to a concert hall.
These sound-effects added to the actual sound from the source
make you feel as if you were in a more expanded space. The
different ranges of the expanded space can be set by the DELAY
TIME button.
• DOLBY* PRO LOGIC SURROUND:
Choose this setting for movies and music (especially Video Discs
and video tapes bearing the ['J[l[oou_ sum_u_ol mark) playback.
DOLBY PRO LOGIC SURROUND continuously detects the size and
direction of the dominant signal and cancels undesirable crosstalk,
thereby providing signal emphasis.
It makes you clearly perceive the directions where music comes
from. Real flow of sound also can be re-created naturally using this
feature. You can feel as if being in the outstanding and expansive
sound field.
When using DOLBY PRO LOGIC SURROUND, a delay time setting of
20 ms is commonly used. Use a different setting if you prefer.
Even if they do not bear the I]310o_=J_-.l mark, some video
recordings may be Dolby Surround encoded.
Choose the SIMULATED SURROUND mode if the source sound
signal is mono. Little or no sound will be heard from the surround
speakers if the DOLBY PRO LOGIC SURROUND mode is selected.
•With DOLBY PRO LOGIC SURROUND, monaural source sound will
Set the Delay Time to 15 ms or 20 ms for a live-house concert. For
chamber music, set to 20 ms. For orchestral music, set to 30 ms. The
"SIMULATED SURROUND" also gives effects on monaural sources
by outputting the reverberated sound from rear speakers while
keeping the output sound from front speakers as it is. Turn on the
"SIMULATED SURROUND" for a monaural source to gain effective
surround playback.
be heard only from the center channel at settings other than the
PHANTOM position.
Note:
Dolby Surround will not operate correctly if the signal passes
through a graphic equalizer.
When using Dolby Surround, set the graphic equalizer for flat
response or to its "through" (or off) setting, if you have one in use.
DOLBY 3CH LOGIC
Combining the rear speaker signal with that of the front speakers
results in your being able to enjoy a regenerated sound field which
has comparatively more presence and a more expansive feeling
from the front 3 channels (front L, front R, and center speakers) than
that of ordinary stereo regeneration.
DOLBY PRO LOGIC SURROUND, DOLBY 3CH LOGIC CENTER MODE
[For DOLBY PRO LOGIC SURROUND and DOLBY 3CH
LOGIC]
You can choose from the following settings:
Center Mode Choices:
When using a center speaker:
• NORMAL -- Low range frequencies, which have little effect on
directionality and positioning, are routed to the left and right front
speakers. So you can use a relatively small size speaker as the
center speaker.
• WIDE -- If you use a large size center speaker, choose this setting.
The full frequency range of the Dolby Surround center channel,
from low to high, is routed to the center speaker.
When not using a center speaker: DOLBY PRO LOGIC SURROUND only
• PHANTOM -- The signal which would have been sent to the center
speaker is divided equally between the left and right front
speakers.
