CP-3 Digital Surround Processor
Rear speakers in Music Surround (as in the other Surround modes) are
driven by the THX enhanced surround signal. The front left and right
outputs are attenuated by the volume and balance controls, but are other-
wise unaltered by the processor. This absence of main front steering is ideal
for playing stereo music, where the original stereo signals are reproduced
from the front speakers with absolutely no alterations. The Music Surround
mode really shines on this material — the center speaker adds a little
stability to the front image without being at all obvious, while the side and
rear speakers add a tremendous amount of ambience.
For film use the lack of steering of the main speakers is noticeable on dialog,
and any of the normal film surround modes may give better results. If the
system has no center loudspeaker main steering is not needed, and Music
Surround may well be preferred over the other modes.
The Full Range mode is provided simply to allow music to be played over

your entire system. All speaker outputs in this mode are simply fed a stereo
signal.
The left front and left side speakers are driven by the left input signal. The
right front and right side speakers are driven by the right input signal. The
center and rear channels are both driven by the sum of the left and right
inputs. This mode includes a High Pass parameter which allows you to
remove bass from side and rear speakers which might not be able to handle
it. Center Level and Sub Bass Boost controls are also provided.
This mode is primarily useful for large audiences, or background music
when entertaining.
