Using Advanced Sound Options
Your receiver has four special sound options: Dolby Pro-Logic Surround, Dolby
3CH Logic, Studio-Effect Surround, and Simulated Surround. These special
options enhance a program source.
Notes:
• To get the full benefit from programs encoded with Dolby Surround
Sound, you need a stereo VCR.
• Dolby Surround does not operate correctly if the signal passes through a
graphic equalizer. If you connected an equalizer to the
TAPE 2 MONITOR
jacks, do not select
TAPE 2 MONITOR
when you listen to Dolby Surround
signals.
To activate Dolby Pro-Logic Surround or Dolby 3CH Logic, press its button. For
studio effect, simulated surround, or arena effect, press
SFC MODE
until the
desired option appears on the display. On the remote control, press
3CH LOGIC
to select Dolby 3CH Logic Sound and use
SURR MODE
for other sound options.
Dolby Pro-Logic Surround
Dolby Pro-Logic Surround puts you in the middle of the action. The center- and
rear-channel speakers add incredible realism by directing the sound to the
appropriate speakers, making you feel like you are really there. You can find
hundreds of movies, television shows, and compact discs produced with Dolby
Surround.
Dolby 3CH Logic
Dolby 3CH Logic produces a more spacious sound field than is possible with
ordinary stereo playback by combining the front and rear speaker sounds.
Select this mode when you play a Dolby Surround Sound program and do not
have rear speakers. The rear channel’s sound is sent to the front left and right
speakers.
Studio Effect
Studio Effect gives the effect of listening in a recording studio. The front speak-
ers provide normal stereo, and the rear speakers provide a subtly reverberated
sound. Select this mode when you listen to sources not encoded with Dolby
Surround.
Simulated Surround
Simulated Surround simulates a surround effect when you listen to a monaural
(mono) source.
