When you use the surround function, the sound creates
a “live” atmosphere such as that experienced in movie
theaters and concert halls.
Use this mode when playing movie or music video soft-
ware which carries the
Î
DOLBY SURROUND mark.
This mode provides the effect of being in a movie the-
ater or live concert house-an effect with an intensity
which can only be obtained through DOLBY PRO LOGIC
SURROUND.
The main feature of DOLBY PRO LOGIC SURROUND is
that the separation between the various channels is
significantly improved from the 3 dB of previous
systems to 26-40 dB. As a result, the effect of the
front/back/left/right movement of the sound image, as
well as the sense of fixed position in the sound image,
is much clearer and more dynamic than before.
In addition, movie dialogue and other sounds which
should naturally be heard from the center are output
through an independent center channel, providing a
high degree of focus for dialogue.
Front speakers receive rear (surround) speaker signals
in addition to front speakers signals. Center speaker
works similarly as that of Dolby Pro Logic mode. In this
way, you can enjoy playback sound having superior
sound positioning.

When playing recordings of live music, this mode pro-
vides a feeling similar to actually being in a concert hall.
When this mode is selected, the normal program
source is directed to the main speakers and a reverber-
ated sound is directed to the surround speakers.
This mode is suited to program sources which contain a
large amount of reverberation.
This mode provides a three dimensional effect similar
to that of movie theater. With this mode, you can enjoy
a surround effect similer to Dolby Surround sound even
when playing a video program which is not encoded
with the Dolby Surround system.
