Surround Modes
Select the Surround mode according to the sound mode being broadcast.
3D Surround (optimal with Dolby Surround broadcasting)
3D Surround enables you to experience the effect of Dolby Surround Pro
Logic without the need of having rear speakers connected or activated.
With Dolby Digital or MPEG Multichannel an improved virtual effect is
offered.
The graphical representation of the rear loudspeakers is replaced by the
symbol
®r
.
Select the level of
3D effect
with the cursor left/right.
Pro Logic (with Dolby Surround broadcasting)
In addition to the left and right internal speakers, the centre and the rear
surround loudspeakers reproduce the Dolby Surround Pro Logic sounds.
This sound is always present in the movie or programme marked with
G
Dolby Surround.
This mode is especially recommended for such programmes or movies.
Dolby Pro Logic signals are also present on some DVD tracks.
Note: Normal stereo broadcast is not always encoded to produce a rear surround
sound.
Dolby Digital* or MPEG Multichannel
When you have connected a DVD player or a Laser Disc player containing a
Dolby Digital decoder (AC-3) or MPEG 2 decoder output (See Connecting
Peripherals, Digital equipment, p. 27), you can enjoy Multichannel Surround
Sound in your home when playing discs recorded in Dolby Digital or MPEG2.
In addition to the left and right internal speakers, the centre, the left and right
rear surround loudspeakers and the subwoofer reproduce the Dolby Digital
or Dolby MPEG 5-channel Surround sounds.
Select Dolby Digital or MPEG Multichannel Surround mode.
Dolby 3 Stereo (optimal with Dolby Surround broadcasting)
The sound signal is now distributed over the front left, the front right and the
centre TV loudspeakers.
The rear loudspeakers do not produce any signal.
Hall
The special sound signal is distributed over the rear loudspeakers which
creates a hall effect from the rear.
The centre loudspeaker does not reproduce any signal.
This mode is recommended when you wish to add surround sound to a
broadcast which is not encoded Dolby Surround or to a mono signal.
Stereo
This mode reproduces only the left and right front sound signals.
You only hear a stereo sound if the broadcast which you are receiving is
transmitted in stereo or nicam stereo.
