Surround play
AX-7 is equipped with listening modes that allow you
to enjoy an enhanced sonic ambience with a variety
of video sources.
In order to obtain the optimum effect from the
surround modes, make sure to input the proper
speaker settings beforehand. (See page 11.)
Surround modes
Dolby Digital
The Dolby Digital surround format lets you enjoy up to 5.1
channels of digital surround sound from Dolby Digital program
sources (such as Laserdisc or DVD software marked
).
Compared with previous Dolby surround, Dolby Digital provides
even better sound quality, greater spatial accuracy, and
improved dynamic range.
Dolby Pro Logic II
Dolby Pro Logic II, whilst totally compatible with its predecessor
Pro Logic, provides greater advantages in surround sound.
Dolby Pro Logic II was designed specifically to provide a new
sense of spatiality, directionality and articulation of sounds from
Dolby Surround encoded sources (such as video and Laserdisc
software marked
). This is achieved with
an intelligent, built-in feedback logic design, a matrix surround
decoding and the decoding of stereo, full bandwidth surround
outputs.
The Pro Logic II modes programmed into this model are “Movie”,
“Music”, “Game” and “Pro Logic”. Especiially in "Game" mode, base
sound not only from Front and Center but also from Surround
channel is added to Subwoofer. This provides even more
dynamic surround effects.
DTS
DTS has volume of data more than the Dolby Digital, and can
reproduce the surround of high sound quality or more. DVD
that adhere the
mark can be reproduced. They are the
same as the Dolby Digital 5.1 channels but it is a format that
lowered the audio compression rate when recording digitally
though. Because of that, high S/N with the thickness of the
sound can be reproduced. Moreover, an exact, magnificent
surround sound of wide a dynamic range and excelling in
Separation is a feature of DTS.
DTS has a “.1” or “LFE” channel. The indication “LFE” appears in the
surround indicator when a signal is being input for this channel.
