Checking the Necessary Components
This digital processing amplifier lets you enjoy sound
recorded on a DVD with surround effects.
Sound signals recorded on a DVD are decoded and then
sent to the connected speakers.
You can enjoy 5.1ch surround sound by using the
processing amplifier together with an existing stereo
system or stereo amplifier, or 3ch surround sound when
using the processing amplifier alone.
z
5.1ch and 3ch
Surround sound is basically 5.1ch. The "5" in 5.1ch indicates five
speakers (two front speakers (L/R), one center speaker, and two
rear speakers (L/R)), and the "1" indicates one sub woofer.
Dividing the sound between these five speakers and one sub
woofer reproduces realistic sound with a sense of space. When
the shape of the room or other conditions prevent you from
connecting five speakers, you can still enjoy surround effects
using only the three front and center speakers (3ch).
z
Sub woofer
The sub woofer reinforces the bass sound. You can enjoy
satisfactory surround effects even without a sub woofer, but
using a sub woofer lets you obtain heavier bass sounds for more
realistic surround effects.
