SURROUND FUNCTIONS
10. SURROUND
The SURROUND button selects the AV 711's
surround mode. Pressing the SURROUND button
pages through the four modes: DOLBY PRO LOGIC,
DOLBY 3 STEREO, HALL and BY-PASS (normal
Stereo).
DOLBY PRO LOGIC and DOLBY 3 STEREO
decodes the surround sound signals encoded in
movie sound tracks from video or TV. To decode cor-
rectly, the video or TV signal must be of a Dolby
Surround or Dolby Stereo soundtrack and coming
from a stereo VCR, TV or satellite/cable receiver.
HALL mode produces a surround sound effect from
a normal stereo source such as a CD or FM radio.
BY-PASS switches to normal Stereo operation.
The selected mode is displayed in the main area of
the Display Panel for 3 seconds and is continuously
shown in Surround Mode area of the Display Panel.
As an additional convenience feature, your AV 711
memorizes which surround mode you have used with
the given input selection. When you next select that
input, your AV 711 will automatically choose the
same Surround mode again. If you normally use
Dolby Pro Logic mode on the Video 1 and Video 2
inputs, Dolby 3 Stereo mode on the Video 1 input,
Hall mode on FM, and By-Pass (Stereo) on the
others, pressing the Input Selector will automatically
default to the right Surround mode without having to
separately press the Surround Mode button.
11. CENTER
Selects the type of centre speaker used on the
main speaker system. Pressing the CENTER button
pages through the three options: NORMAL, PHAN-
TOM and WIDEBAND. For Dolby Pro Logic use
NORMAL, WIDEBAND, PHANTOM and for Dolby 3
Stereo use NORMAL, WIDEBAND.
NORMAL mode is used when the center speaker is
smaller than the front left and right speakers. This
mode produces a true center image with the very low
frequencies (below 70Hz) filtered out.
WIDEBAND mode is used when the center speaker
is the same type as the front left and right speakers.
This mode produces a true center image with a full
frequency range and no low frequency filtering.
PHANTOM mode is used when there is no center
speaker. The AV 711 places the center information
equally on the left and right front speakers so produc-
ing a 'Phantom' central sound image.
The selected Center Mode is displayed for 3
seconds in the main area of the Display Panel. It is
stored in the AV 711's memory and will be automati-
cally recalled each time the unit is switched on. This
function can be altered only when the AV 711 is in
DOLBY PRO LOGIC or DOLBY 3 STEREO mode.
12. DELAY
Selects the amount of delay applied to the surround
speakers when the AV 711 is used in DOLBY PRO
LOGIC or HALL modes.
Pressing the DELAY button steps the Delay times
in 5mS steps from 5mS to 30mS for Hall mode and
from 15mS to 30mS for Dolby Pro Logic mode.
Separate delay times can be stored for DOLBY PRO
LOGIC and HALL modes and are held in the AV
711's memory. They are automatically recalled each
time the DOLBY PRO LOGIC or HALL mode is
selected. This function can be altered only when the
AV 711 is in DOLBY PRO LOGIC or HALL Mode.

Preset and Preset bank (if any) is selected.
13. TUNE
For tuning to the required station and to select
Preset stations. There are two tuning modes: Manual

es or decreases the tuning frequency in 50kHz steps
(or 100kHz for USA and Canada) in FM and 9kHz (or
10kHz for USA and Canada) steps in AM.
Search. Holding the button down for more than !/2
second puts the tuner section into Search mode. It
will search through the tuning frequencies and stop
when it finds a broadcast station. When a station is
captured, the TUNED indicator will show in the
Display Panel.
14. PRESET
Press PRESET to recall or program a Preset radio
station. The 30 Presets can be AM or FM stations
and are stored in three Preset Banks, which can
contain up to 10 Preset stations. The Preset number
is shown in the Display Panel.
15. BANK
Press BANK to switch between the three banks (A,
B or C) of tuner presets. For convenience you could
use two Banks for FM stations and one Bank for AM,
although a mix of FM and AM stations can be stored
in any single Bank of presets. The selected Bank is
shown in the Display Panel.
