SURROUND EFFECT
This unit has a built in surround processor for adding presence and an
expansive effect to the sound.
© STADIUM:
Effective for a stereo but not a monaural source. The ''STADIUM" effect
creates efficient, reverberated sounds to obtain an expansive sound
field. For music sources like a rock concert, you can feel if you were
at the live concert seated very close to the stage. For sports programs
such as a baseball game, you can enjoy a powerful sound, thus obtaining
a stadium-like effect.
¢ SIMULATED SURROUND:
The 'SIMULATED SURROUND" creates of reverberated and reflected
sound from the walls and ceiling similar to a concert hall. These sound-
effects added to the actual sound from the source make you feel as
if in a more expanded space. The different ranges of the expanded space
can be set by the Delay Time key. Set the Delay Time to 15 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 the 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 STEREO" for a monaural
source to gain the effective surround playback.
¢ DOLBY PRO LOGIC SURROUND
Choose this setting for movies and music (especially Video Discs and
video tapes bearing the
[DOLBY SURROUND | mark) playback.
DOLBY PRO LOGIC SURROUND continuously detects the size and
direction of the dominant signal and cancels undesirable crosstalk,
thereby providing signal emphasis.
It 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.

<ARB1234>
You can choose from the following settings:
Center Mode Choices:
(When using a center speaker:)
* NORMAL
—
Low range frequencies, which have little effect on
directionality and positioning, are routed to the left and right front
speakers. So you can use a relatively small size speaker as the center
speaker.
© WIDE — If you use a large size center speaker, choose this setting.
The full frequency range of the Dolby Surround center channel, from
low to high, is routed to the center speaker.
(When not using a center speaker:)
© PHANTOM
— The signal which would have been sent to the center
speaker is divided equally between the left and right front speakers.
© OFF — There will be no sound from the center speaker. Ordinarily,
select and use one of the three modes mentioned above.
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 [00 [potsy surrounn | mark, some
video recordings may be Dolby Surround encoded.
DOLBY SURROUND mode can be used with stereo sources not encoded
with DOLBY SURROUND. Adjust the volume of each speaker to obtain
a suitable surround effect.
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 STADIUM or DOLBY PRO LOGIC SURROUND mode is selected.
With DOLBY PRO LOGIC SURROUND, monaural source sound will be
heard only from the center channel at settings other than the PHANTOM
position.
