Notes:
• Before you press the listening
button, please lower the volume
level to reduce the possibility of
speaker damage.
• If you are listening to a mono
broadcast or recording, select the
Stereo setting (all surround indi-
cators disappear in the display) for
best results. Do not select one of
the surround sound settings.
• When "Normal" is selected with "Pro
Logic" all channels will be used,
including the Center and the Rears
(Rears not with "3 Stereo"). When
"Phantom" is selected with "Pro
Logic" the Center channel will not
be used and its signal will be spread
to both front speakers. This may be
usefull with recordings where the
Center sounds too dominant.
When "Wide" is selected, depending
on the recording, the front stage
may sound somewhat wider, while
the Center speaker still in use.
Surround Mode Chart
MODE FEATURES
DOLBY DIGITAL Available only with digital input sources encoded with Dolby Digital data. It provides up to five separate
main audio channels and a special dedicated Low Frequency Effects channel.
DTS Available only with digital input sources encoded with DTS data. Available on special DVD, LD and
audio-only discs, DTS provides up to five separate main audio channels and a special dedicated low
frequency channel.
PRO LOGIC The standard mode for analog surround sound decoding. It uses information encoded in a two channel
stereo recording to produce four distinct outputs: Left, Center, Right and a Mono Surround channel. Use
this mode for accurate reproduction of programs bearing the Dolby Surround, DTS Stereo, UltraStereo
or other “Surround” logos. Surround-encoded programs include videocassette, DVD and LD movies, TV
and cable programs, radio programs and audio CDs. Dolby Pro Logic processing may also be used to
provide a pleasing surround effect with some stereophonic source material that does not carry surround
encoding.
3 STEREO Uses the information contained in a surround encoded or two channel stereo program to create center
channel information. In addition, the information that is normally sent to the rear channel surround
speakers is carefully mixed in with the front left and front right channels for increased realism. Use this
mode when you have a center channel speaker but no surround speakers.
SURROUND This mode turns off all surround processing and presents the pure left and right channel presentation
OFF (STEREO) of two channel stereo programs.
