Using Advanced Sound Options

20
Your receiver has five special sound options: Dolby Pro-Logic Surround, Dolby
3CH Logic, Studio-Effect Surround, Arena-Effect Surround, and Simulated Sur-
round. These special options enhance a program source.
Notes:
• To get the full benefit from programs encoded with Dolby Surround
Sound, you need a stereo VCR.
• Dolby Surround does not operate correctly if the signal passes through a
graphic equalizer. If you connected an equalizer to the
jacks, do not select
signals.
To activate Dolby Pro-Logic Surround or Dolby 3CH Logic, press its button. For
studio effect, simulated surround, or arena effect, press
desired option appears on the display. On the remote control, press
to select Dolby 3CH Logic Sound and use
Dolby Pro-Logic Surround
Dolby Pro-Logic Surround puts you in the middle of the action. The center- and
rear-channel speakers add incredible realism by directing the sound to the
appropriate speakers, making you feel like you are really there. You can find
hundreds of movies, television shows, and compact discs produced with Dolby
Surround.
Dolby 3CH Logic
Dolby 3CH Logic produces a more spacious sound field than is possible with
ordinary stereo playback by combining the front and rear speaker sounds.
Select this mode when you play a Dolby Surround Sound program and do not
have rear speakers. The rear channel's sound is sent to the front left and right
speakers.
Studio Effect
Studio Effect gives the effect of listening in a recording studio. The front speak-
ers provide normal stereo, and the rear speakers provide a subtly reverberated
sound. Select this mode when you listen to sources not encoded with Dolby
Surround.
Arena Effect
Arena Effect is ideal for sources such as live performances. The front speakers
output the music, and the rear speakers output the sounds and applause of the
audience. Adjust the delay time to obtain the best effect of listening in halls of
different sizes.
Simulated Surround
Simulated Surround simulates a surround effect when you listen to a monaural
(mono) source.
