I
SURROUND EFFECT AND DOLBY 3CH LOGIC
Th
is
unit has
a bui lt-in surround
processor
for adding
presence
and an expansive effect
to the
sound.
STUDIO:
Select
this
position
to
enjoy the effect of
listen
ing
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 rever-
berated
and
reflected sound
from the
walls and
ceiling
simi
lar
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
DE
LAY
TIME
button.
Set
the Delay Time
to
15 ms or 20 ms for a live-house
concert.
For
chamber
music,
set
to
20
ms.
For
orchest
ral
music,
set to 30
ms. The "SIMULATED SURROUND" also
gives
effects
on monaural sources by
outputting
the
reverberated
sou
nd
from
rea
r
speakers
while keeping
the output sound
from front
speakers as it
is
.
Turn on the
"SIMULATED SURRO UND" for a monaural source to
gain
effective surround playback.
DOLBY
3CH
LOGIC:
Combining
the rear speaker
signal
with that of
the
front
speakers results in your
being
able
to enjoy a regenerat-
ed sound
field
which
has
comparative ly more
presence
and
a
more expansive
feeling
from
t
he
front 3 channels
(front
L,
front
R, and center speakers)
than
that of ordi-
nary
stereo regeneration.

and music (especia
lly
Video

uously detects the size and
direction
of the
dominant
signal and cancels
undesirable
crosstalk,
thereby
provid-
ing
signal
emphasis.
It
makes
you
clearly perceive
the
directions
where
music
comes from
.
