Selector Buttons
An innovative Festival feature called Wrap allows
you to control the feeling of spaciousness in a
listening area by creating the illusionof distance
between the front and surround speakers.
Movie and Music surround modes begin with a
factory default setting for the Wrap effect. The
Movie and Music settings may be adjusted by
using the selector buttons on the console. Press
to decrease or to increase how far the sound
"wraps" around the listening area. Dots on the
Wrap indicator will light to show changes to the
Wrap setting.
The Movie mode is based on Dolby Pro Logic,
a surround sound process that uses information
encoded in two-channel stereo recordings to
produce four distinct channels (left, center, right
and surround). Dolby Pro Logic is used in movies,
television programs and some music recordings.
When the word REFERENCE appears in the Wrap
Indicator, the Wrap circuits are turned off for
standard Pro Logic operation. Increase or decrease
the amounts of Wrap as shown above to suit your
listening taste.
