functions for playback as movie theaters and gives a theater - like experience in your home,
naturally reproducing the audio sound field. Use with Dolby Pro Logic program sources

DOLBY 3 STEREO : Combining the rear speaker signal with that of the front speakers allows you to enjoy a
regenerated sound field which has comparatively more presence and a more expansive

CHURCH: This mode provides the ambience of a church for baroque, string orchestral and choral group music.
Delay time
The sound heard in a place such as a concert hall or a movie theater consists of the direct sound that reaches our
ears directly from the sound source and the reflected sound that is indirectly reflected off from walls, floor and
ceilling. The reflected sound reaches our ears slightly later than the direct sound. The delay time is the time
difference between the direct sound and the reflected sound. The optimum delay time will be different according to
the room size and the acoustic properties. It is recommended that you try different times to obtain the best effect.
