| SURROUND EFFECT
This unit has a built-in surround processor for adding presence and an
expansive effect to the sound.
e 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.
e SIMULATED SURROUND:
The "SIMULATED" creates effects of reverberated and reflected sound
from the walls and ceiling similar to a concert hail. 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.
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 STUDIO or DOLBY PRO LOGIC SURROUND mode is selected.
* DOLBY PRO LOGIC SURROUND
Choose this setting for movies and music (especially Video Discs and
video tapes bearing the oo [poLey 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.
ft 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 oo DOLBY SURROUND | mark, some video
recordings may be Dolby Surround encoded.
Note:
Doiby Surround will not operate correctly if the signal passes through
a graphic equalizer.
When using Dolby 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.
|
| 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 regensration.
DOLBY 3CH LOGIC can be used with stereo sources not encoded with
DOLBY SURROUND.
