Delay time
Time lag between the surround sound output
from front speakers and rear speakers. By
Rear
speaker (R)
adjusting the delay time of the rear speakers,
you can obtain the feeling of presence. Make
the delay time longer when you have placed
the rear speakers in a small room or close to
your listening position, and make it shorter
when you have placed them in a large room
or apart from your listening position.
Dolby Pro Logic Surround
Decoding system of Dolby Surround sound
standardized in TV programs and movies.
Compared with the former Dolby Surround
Front
system, Dolby Pro Logic Surround improves
speaker (R)
sound image by using four separate channels:
off-screen audio effects, on-screen dialog, left-
to-right panning, and music. These channels
manipulate the sound to be heard and
enhance the action as it happens on the
screen. To take advantage of Dolby Pro Logic,
Rear
you should have at least one pair of rear
speaker (R)
speakers and/or one center speaker. You also
need to select the appropriate center mode to
enjoy a full effect.
Dolby Surround
Encoding and decoding system of Dolby
Surround sound for consumer use. Dolby
Surround decodes the extra channels on the
Dolby Surround-encoded sound tracks of
movie videos and TV programs and produces
sound effects and echoes that make the action
seem to envelop you.
