“SUR. DECODE” appears
Note
You cannot change the previously selected surround decoder by pressing PROGRAM. To change it, use
“Sur.Decode” in the “Option” menu. For details, see the following:
“Selecting the surround decoder used in the program” (p.70)
For details on each decoder, see the following:
“Glossary of audio decoding format” (p.132)
You can adjust the surround decoder parameters in “DSP Parameter” in the “Setup” menu. For details,
see the following:
“Adjusting the center localization (broadening effect) of the front sound field” (p.91)
“Setting the use of Center Spread” (p.91)
The selected surround decoder may not work for some input sources.
We recommend Dolby Surround while network streaming is Dolby contents.
When the Dolby Surround decoder or the Neural:X decoder is selected, virtual surround processing (such
as Virtual CINEMA FRONT) does not work. For details, see the following:
“Enjoying sound field effects without surround speakers (Virtual CINEMA DSP)” (p.39)
“Enjoying surround sound with 5 speakers placed in front (Virtual CINEMA FRONT)” (p.39)
