SURROUND EFFECT
This unit has a built-in surround processor for adding presence and
an expansive effect to the sound.
e 5 Mode Selection with DSP
(Digital Signal Processor):
@ JAZZ:
This gives you the sound field of a jazz club.
© DANCE:
A "hot" high-energy sound, with extra reverb for greater ambience.
e 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.
Set the Delay Time to 16 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.
@HALL:
You can enjoy a convincing hall sound.
@PRO LOGIC THEATER:
Use with video software bearing the [){][pasvsurnouno] mark. The
feeling of movement, and outstanding stereo imaging offered by
DOLBY
PRO LOGIC SURROUND,
together with atmosphere of a
movie theater assure incredible ambience.
DOLBY 3CH LOGIC
e DOLBY* PRO LOGIC SURROUND:
Choose this setting for movies and music (especially Video Discs
and video tapes bearing the []{][pousy surrouno] 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 [[{][pousy surnouno] 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 STADIUM or DOLBY PRO LOGIC SURROUND mode is
selected.
With DOLBY PRO LOGIC SURROUND, monaural source sound will
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 Doiby Surround, turn off the TAPE 2 MONITOR or set
the graphic equalizer for flat response or to its "through" (or off)
setting, if you have one in use.

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 3CH LOGIC can be used with stereo sources not encoded
with DOLBY SURROUND.
