29 Creating realistic sound fields You can use the following surround modes to reproduce a realistic sound field. • Dolby Surround •Dolby Pro Logic II Dolby Digital DTS Digital Surround DSP modes DAP modes All Channel Stereo Dolby Surround Dolby Pro Logic II* Dolby Pro Logic II has a newly developed multichannel playback format to decode all 2 channel sources — stereo source and Dolby Surround encoded source — into a 5.1 channel. The matrix-based encoding/decoding method used by Dolby Pro Logic II makes no limitation for the cutoff frequency of the treble from surround channel and enables stereo surround sound compared to conventional Dolby Pro Logic. Dolby Pro Logic II enables to reproduce spacious sound from original sound without adding any new sounds and tonal coloration. Dolby Pro Logic II has two modes — Movie mode and Music mode: Pro Logic II Movie (PL II MOVIE) Suitable for reproduction of Dolby Surround encoded sources bearing the mark . You can enjoy soundfield very close to the one created with discrete 5.1 channel sounds. Pro Logic II Music (PL II MUSIC) Suitable for reproduction of any 2 channel stereo music sources. You can enjoy wide and deep sound by using this mode. When Dolby Pro Logic II is activated, the PLII indicator lights on the display window. Dolby Digital* Used to reproduce multichannel soundtracks of the software encoded with Dolby Digital ( ). Dolby Digital 5.1 ch (DOLBY D) encoding method (so-called discrete multichannel digital audio format) records and digitally compresses the front left channel, front right channel, center channel, surround left channel, surround right channel and LFE channel signals. Since each channel is completely independent from the other channel signals to avoid interference, you can obtain much better sound quality with much stereo and surround effects. NOTE Dolby Digital software can be roughly grouped into two categories- multichannel (up to “5.1” channel) and 2 channel software. To enjoy surround sounds while playing Dolby Digital 2 ch software, you can use Dolby Pro Logic II. DTS Digital Surround** Used to reproduce multichannel soundtracks of the software encoded with DTS Digital Surround ( ). DTS Digital Surround (DTS) is another discrete multichannel digital audio format available on CD, LD and DVD software. Compared to Dolby Digital, audio compression ratio is relatively low. This fact allows DTS Digital Surround format to add breadth and depth to the reproduced sounds. As a result, DTS Digital Surround features natural, solid and clear sound. DSP modes DAP (Digital Acoustic Processor) modes DAP modes have been designed to create important acoustic surround elements. The sound heard in a live club, dance club, hall or pavilion 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 (see the diagram below). These indirect sounds are important elements of the acoustic surround effects. The DAP mode can reproduce a realistic sound field by adding these indirect sounds. The following DAP modes are provided with this system. These DAP modes can be used to add the acoustic surround effects while reproducing 2 channel stereo source, and can give you a real “being there” feeling. When one of the DAP modes is selected, the DSP indicator lights on the display window. LIVE CLUBGives the feeling of a live music club with a low ceiling. DANCE CLUBGives a throbbing bass beat. HALLGives clear vocal and the feeling of a concert hall. PAVILIONGives the spacious feeling of a pavilion with a high ceiling. *Manufactured under license from Dolby Laboratories. “Dolby”, “Pro Logic” and the double-D symbol are trademarks of Dolby Laboratories.**“DTS” and “DTS Digital Surround” are registered trademarks of Digital Theater Systems, Inc.

Creating realistic sound fields 31 IMPORTANT Before using the remote control for the following operation; • Set the remote control mode selector to AUDIO.The system is set up to automatically select the optimal surround mode for input signal from digital multichannel software. When playing back 2 channel source, you can select the desired surround mode manually. On the remote control: When playing back digital multichannel software The appropriate multichannel surround mode is automatically activated. “DOLBY D”: When a software encoded with Dolby Digital is played back “DTS”: When a software encoded with DTS Digital Surround is played back In these cases, you can only turn on or off (“SURR OFF”) the surround mode. When playing back 2 channel source You can select either mode of Dolby Pro Logic II (PL II MOVIE/ PL II MUSIC) or one of the DSP modes (LIVE CLUB/DANCE CLUB/HALL/PAVILION/ALL CH ST.). Press SURROUND (MODE). The surround mode is turned on and the current surround mode appears on the display window. Each time you press the button, the surround mode changes as follows; PL II MOVIE PL II MUSIC LIVE CLUB DANCE CLUB HALL PAVILION ALL CH ST. (back to the beginning) For details on each mode, see pages 29 and 30. To turn off the surround mode Press SURROUND (ON/OFF). Each time you press the button, the surround mode turns on and off alternately. SURR OFF (surround off) current selected mode (surround on) NOTE When selecting “PL II MUSIC”, “PL II MOVIE”, “DOLBY D” or “DTS” as the surround mode, the SURROUND indicator lights. When selecting one of the DSP modes (“LIVE CLUB”/“DANCE CLUB”/“HALL”/“PAVILION”/“ALL CH ST.”) as the surround mode, the DSP indicator lights. For Dolby Digital 2 channel software, you can select “PL II MUSIC” or “PL II MOVIE”. Storing adjustments — auto memory This system memorizes the surround mode settings for each source. When you turn the power off: When turning the power on again, the memorized settings for the current source are automatically recalled. When you change the source: The memorized settings for the newly selected source are automatically recalled. NOTE If the source is FM or AM, you can assign a different setting for each band.
