Dolby Digital (AC-3)
The Dolby Digital (AC-3) surround format lets you enjoy up to 5.1
channels of digital surround sound from Dolby Digital (AC-3) pro-
gram sources (such as Laserdisc or DVD software marked
).
Compared with previous Dolby surround, Dolby Digital (AC-3) pro-
vides even better sound quality, greater spatial accuracy, and
improved dynamic range.
Note
Although a full set of speakers (front left, right, and center, surround
left and right, and a subwoofer) is required for true 5.1 channel Dolby
Digital (AC-3) surround sound, this receiver lets you enjoy Dolby
Digital (AC-3) (and Dolby Surround) program sources, even if you
connect only the front speakers. ("Speaker placement")
#
* LFE = Low Frequency Effects. This channel delivers separate non-
directional bass signals to the subwoofer for more dynamic deep
bass sound effects.
Although only Dolby Digital (AC-3) soundtracks incorporate a sepa-
rate low frequency channel, connecting a subwoofer will also im-
prove deep bass performance in the other surround modes.
The indication "
LFE
" appears in the display when a signal is being
input for this channel.

Dolby 3 Stereo
Dolby 3 Stereo is available for systems that do not have surround
speakers. When in the Dolby 3 Stereo mode, the surround information
is redirected to the front left and right speakers. This mode is
designed for use with Dolby Surround program sources, but can also
improve sound field unity for programs that are not Dolby Surround
encoded. Dialog positioning and sound image definition, however,
may not be as accurate when used with programs that are not Dolby
Surround encoded.

DVD 6-channel mode
Using a DVD player or the like equipped with six (5.1) output
channels and the receiver, you can enjoy multi-channel encoded
DVD source material in all its splendor. Since the source signals are
digital and each channel is input independently, the resulting sound
quality, sense of spaciousness, and dynamic range are superb.
