Sherwood R-325 - Manual (Page 9)

AMPLIFIER
DOLBY 3 STEREO : Choose this setting to play back
movies and music (especially Laser discs, video cassettes
and TV broadcasts with DOLBY SURROUND sound )when
not using the rear speakers.
You get a clear perception of the positionand direction of the
sound
DOLBY 3 STEREO combines the front and rear signals so
that you can enjoy a regenerated sound field which has
comparatively more lively presence and a more expansive
feeling from the three front channels (front left, front right
and center speakers) than that of ordinary stereo
regeneration.
THEATER : Use this when watching movie sources that
have a stereo soundtrack to enjoy the effect of being in a
movie theater.
HALL : Hall mode works best for recorded concerts and
other music programs. In this mode, the front speakers
provide a normal stereo effect while the rear speakers
provide a reverberated sound. This reverberation helps to
simulate the sound you might hear at a live concert.
SIMULATED : The "SIMULATED" creates effects of
reverberated and reflected sound from the walls and ceiling
similar to a concert hall. These sound effects added to the
actual sound from the source make you feel as if you are in
a more expanded space.
Choose the SIMULATED mode if the source sound signal is
mono.
OFF : Turns off the center and rear speakers for normal
stereo operation.
Note : Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby 3 Stereo, Theater, Hall and
Simulated will not work properly if the signal passes through
a graphic equalizer. Please refer to your equalizer operating
instructions for guidance on switching off (or defeating) the
equation.
