Dolby Pro Logic Surround - TECHWOOD DDR 94 Owner's Manual

Available Surround Modes
> DOLBY PRO LOGIC Surround
Use this mode when playing movie or music videos which carry
the U DOLBY SURROUND mark.
This mode provides the effect of being in a movie theater or live
concert house - an effect with an intensity which can only
be obtained through DOLBY PRO LOGIC SURROUND.
The main feature of DOLBY PRO LOGIC SURROUND is that the
separation between the various channels is significantly
improved from the 3 dB of previous systems to 26-40 dB.
As a result, the effect of the front/back/ left/right movement of
the sound image, as well as the sense of fixed position in the
sound image, is much clearer and more dynamic than before.
In addition, movie dialogue and other sounds which should
naturally be heard from the center are output through an
independent center channel, providing a high degree of focus
for dialogue.
> 3 STEREO
Front speakers receive rear (surround) speaker signals in
addition to front speakers signals.
Center speaker works similarly to Dolby Pro Logic mode.
This mode improves imaging without the use of rear speakers.
> THEATER Surround
This mode provides a three dimensional effect similar to
that of movie theater.
With this mode, you can enjoy a surround effect similer to
Dolby Surround sound even when playing a video program
which is not encoded with the Dolby Surround system.
> HALL Surround
When playing recordings of live music, this mode provides
a feeling similar to actually being in a concert hall.
When this mode is selected, the normal program source is
directed to the main speakers and a reverberated sound is
directed to the surround speakers.
This mode is suited to program sources which contain a
large amount of reverberation.
> STADIUM Surround
The reverberation of this mode produces a sound field
which recreates the sound of a stadium.
> DISCO Surround
Gives a greatly expanded feel to powerful music such as
dance or rock.
> STEREO
To switch the surround mode to stereo mode, press the
STEREO button.
When DTS or DOLBY DIGITAL is selected, the surround
sound is down mixed to 2 channel.
