Before you start, remember... The Enhanced Other Networks function is only applicable to preset FM stations.
Creating realistic sound fields Introducing the Surround modes ■ Dolby Digital* Dolby Digital is a digital signal compression method, developed by Dolby Laboratories, and enables multi-channel encoding and decoding. • When Dolby Digital signal is detected through the digital input, the indicator lights up on the display. Dolby Digital 5.1CH Reproducing theatre ambience In a movie theatre, many speakers are located on the walls to reproduce impressive multi-channel sound, reaching you from all directions.
Dolby Pro Logic IIx DTS Neo:6 Dolby Pro Logic IIx is a newly introduced multi-channel playback format to convert not only multi-channel software but 2-channel software into 7.1 channel (or 6.1 channel) that developed from Dolby Pro Logic II. The matrix-based conversion method used for Dolby Pro Logic IIx makes no limitation for the cutoff frequency of the surround treble.
Introducing the DSP modes The sound heard in a concert hall, club, etc. consists of direct sound and indirect sound—early reflections and reflections from behind. Direct sounds reach the listener directly without any reflection. On the other hand, indirect sounds are delayed by the distances of the ceiling and walls. These direct sounds and indirect sounds are the most important elements of the acoustic surround effects.
Using the Surround/DSP modes Available Surround/DSP modes vary depending on the speaker settings and the incoming signals. See the table below. • The numbers inside the parentheses following the incoming signal type indicate the number of the front channels and that of the surround channels. For example, (3/2) indicates that the signals are encoded with three front signals (left/right/center) and two (stereo) surround signals. • For EX/ES/PLIIx setting, see page 30.
Activating the Surround/DSP modes On the front panel: 2 1,3 Available Surround/DSP modes vary depending on the speaker settings and the incoming signals. For details, see page 49. Activating one of the Surround/DSP modes automatically recalls the memorized settings and adjustments. • To adjust the speaker output level, see page 37. • When activating one of the Surround/DSP modes, you can adjust CENTER TONE. (See page 39.
