Ambience Effects; Sound Modes - Kenwood C-V750 Instruction Manual

Ambience effects

This AV CONTROL CENTER incorporates 4 different sound modes to let you enjoy surround sound with a wide variety of
34
program sources. The Dolby Digital (AC-3) and Dolby Pro Logic surround sound let you enjoy theater-like surround effects when
you play Dolby Digital (AC-3) and Dolby Surround program sources (like Laserdiscs and DVDs). Dolby 3 Stereo creates a
panoramic frontal sound field. The Digital Signal Processing (DSP) modes let you create a variety of different sonic
environments from almost any type of program source.
To obtain the best possible surround sound, be sure to complete "Setup for surround play" before using the surround modes.

Sound modes

Dolby Digital (AC-3)
The Dolby Digital (AC-3) surround format lets you enjoy up to 5.1
channels of digital surround sound from Dolby Digital (AC-3) program
sources (such as Laserdisc software marked
with previous Dolby surround, Dolby Digital (AC-3) provides even
better sound quality, greater spatial accuracy, and improved dynamic
range.
Note
Although a full set of speakers (front left, right, and center, Surround
left and right, and a subwoofer) is required for true 5.1 channel Dolby
Digital (AC-3) surround sound, this AV CONTROL CENTER lets you
enjoy Dolby Digital (AC-3) (and Dolby Pro Logic) program sources,
even if you connect only the front speakers.
Dolby Pro Logic
Dolby Pro Logic is a specially encoded 2 channel
surround format designed to provide theater-like sur-
round sound from Dolby Surround encoded sources
(such as video and Laserdisc software marked
). This AV CONTROL CENTER is
equipped with a Dolby Pro Logic surround decoder to
let you enjoy the wide variety of currently available
Dolby Surround home video software.
Dolby 3 Stereo
Dolby 3 Stereo is available for systems that do not have surround
speakers. When in the Dolby 3 Stereo mode the surround information
is redirected to the front left and right speakers. This mode is
designed for use with Dolby Surround program sources, but can also
improve sound field unity for programs that are not Dolby Surround
encoded. Dialog positioning and sound image definition, however,
may not be as accurate when used with programs that are not Dolby
Surround encoded.
