Creating Realistic Sound Fields You can use the following Surround modes to reproduce a realistic sound field: ■ Dolby Surround • Dolby Pro Logic II • Dolby Digital ■ DTS Digital Surround ■ DAP (Digital Acoustic Processor) modes ■ All Channel Stereo ■ Dolby Surround Dolby Pro Logic II* Dolby Pro Logic II has a newly developed multichannel playback format to decode all 2 channel sources—regular stereo source and Dolby Surround encoded source—into 5.1 channel.
■ All Channel Stereo DAP modes have been designed to create important acoustic surround elements. This mode can reproduce a larger stereo sound field using all the connected (and activated) speakers. The sound heard in a live club, dance club, hall or pavilion consists of direct sound and indirect sound—early reflections and reflections from behind. Direct sounds reach the listener directly without any reflection.
Creating Realistic Sound Fields About Relations between Speaker Layout and Surround Modes Available Surround modes will vary depending on how many speakers are used with this receiver. Make sure that you have set the speaker information correctly (see pages 12 to 14). • If only front speakers are connected, you cannot use Surround modes. • If rear speakers are not connected, you cannot use DAP modes and All Channel Stereo.
