that appears when a station is first tuned. In normal
RDS operation the display will indicate the station
name, broadcast network or call letters. Pressing RDS

surround audio signals is played according to the
way it was recorded.
[PL II MOVIE] mode: The Movie mode is for use
with stereo television shows and all programs
encoded in Dolby Surround. The result is enhanced
soundfield directionality that approaches the quality
of discrete 5.1-channel sound.
[PL II MUSIC] mode: The Music mode is for use
with any stereo music recordings.
[PL II MATRIX] mode: The Matrix mode is the same
as the Music mode except that the directional
enhancement logic is turned off. It may be used to
enhance mono signals by making them seem
“larger.” The Matrix mode may also find use in auto
systems, where the fluctuations from poor FM
stereo reception can otherwise cause disturbing
surround signals from a logic decoder. The ultimate
“cure” for poor FM stereo reception may be simply
to force the audio to mono.
Notes:
•
In some of surround modes, some speakers maybe
no sound or low sound, it depends on the mode of
surround and the source of audio, it is not defective.
•You may need resetting the surround mode, after
switch the input, sometimes even after the sound
track changed.
