One or five speakers – what’s the difference?
BeoVision Avant offers five different
sound modes, SPEAKER 1 to 5.
While you are watching a TV or
satellite programme, a videotape – or
listening to a source from your Bang &
Olufsen audio system, you can choose
how many speakers you want to
activate, provided that the various
sound modes are available in your
system.
To hear and feel the difference
between the five sound modes, we
recommend that you try the five
sound modes – (see how on the next
page), and you will be able to hear and
feel the differences for yourself...
SPEAKER 1… for stereo sound in Avant speakers
only.
Use this sound mode if you want to cut in only
the speakers in the BeoVision Avant – for
example to watch the news.
SPEAKER 2… for stereo sound in the two front
speakers.
Use this sound mode when, for example, you
listen to a stereo music cassette or a CD.
SPEAKER 3… for Dolby 3 Stereo (stereo sound
with the mono sound of e.g. human speech and
sound effects concentrated in the centre
speakers) produced by the BeoVision Avant
speakers (as centre speaker) and the two front
speakers together.
Use this sound mode when you, for example,
watch and listen to a TV programme
transmitted in stereo.
SPEAKER 4… for Stereo-4 (enhanced stereo
sound) in the two front and the two rear
speakers.
Use this sound mode when you want an
enhanced effect of the stereo sound on, for
example, a music cassette or a CD.
SPEAKER 5… for Surround sound reproduced by
all the five speakers in the system together.
Use this sound mode when you, for example,
watch and listen to a TV programme, a video or
a CD pre-recorded in Dolby Pro Logic Surround
to fully enjoy the sound effects. Dolby Pro Logic
Surround gives you a feeling of being in the
middle of the action, with the mono sound of
e.g. human speech and certain sound effects
concentrated in the centre speaker.
Note: Only Dolby Pro Logic Surround encoded
material will be properly reproduced by the
BeoVision Avant surround sound (SPEAKER 5)
function.
