SURROUND EFFECT
This unit has a built in surround processor for adding presence and an
expansive effect to the sound.
¢ STUDIO:
Select to this position to enjoy the effect of listening to music in a
recording studio.
The source sound is output as is through the front speakers, with
reverberation output through the rear speakers.
The center sound is positioned directly between the front speakers. This
is particularly suitable for a sound source that has a lot of reverberation.
¢ SIMULATED SURROUND:
The "SIMULATED SURROUND" creates the effect 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 fee!
as if in a more expanded space. The different ranges of the expanded
space can be set by the Delay Time key. For example, set the Delay
Time to 5 ms to 20 ms for a live-house concert. For chamber music,
set to
15ms to 20 ms. For orchestral music, set to 25 ms to 30 ms.
The 'SIMULATED SURROUND" also gives effects on monaural sources
by outputting the reverberated sound from the rear speakers while
keeping the output sound from the front speakers as it is. Turn on the
"SIMULATED STEREO" for a monaural source to gain the effective
surround playback.
¢ DOLBY SURROUND:
Choose this setting for movies and music (especially Video Discs and
video tapes bearing the DU [eosy surrounp | mark) playback.
Dolby Surround decodes the surround information in the source signal,
providing a feeling of left-right and front -back movement matching the
action on screen.
