RDS (Radio Data System)
The EON function manages the kinds of information broadcast by other stations than the currently received stations, so that
you can make reservation of the desired kind of programme, such as traffic announcement and news, even when there is no
station broadcasting it at the present. When a station starts broadcasting a programme of the reserved kind while you are
listening to a station with which the EON indicator lights up, the tuner tunes the station automatically. When the station
completes the programmed of the reserved kind, the tuner automatically returns to the originally-received station.
Preparation
Perform steps 1 to 3 of ÒStoring RDS stations automatically in
preset memory (AUTO MEMORY)Ó.¥
Reserving reception of desired kind of programme in advance (EON reservation)
This step can be omitted if you have already executed the
AUTO MEMORY procedure.
ÖThe EON function cannot be used if all of the 40 preset stations have
been stored using the procedure in ÒStoring radio stations manually in
preset memoryÓ. Be sure to use the AUTO MEMORY function.

Dolby Pro Logic
Dolby Pro Logic is a specially encoded 2 channel
surround format designed to provide theater-like sur-
round sound from Dolby Surround encoded sources
(such as video and Laserdisc software marked
 ). This AV CONTROL CENTER is
equipped with a Dolby Pro Logic surround decoder to
let you enjoy the wide variety of currently available
Dolby Surround home video software.
Dolby 3 Stereo
Ambience effects
This AV CONTROL CENTER incorporates 3 different sound modes to let you enjoy surround sound with a wide variety of
program sources. The Dolby Pro Logic surround sound let you enjoy theater-like surround effects when you play Dolby Pro Logic
program sources (like Laserdiscs and DVDs). Dolby 3 Stereo creates a panoramic frontal sound field. The Digital Signal
Processing (DSP) modes let you create a variety of different sonic environments from almost any type of program source.
To obtain the best possible surround sound, be sure to complete Setup for surround play before using the surround modes.

Dolby 3 Stereo is available for systems that do not have surround
speakers. When in the Dolby 3 Stereo mode the surround information
is redirected to the front left and right speakers. This mode is
designed for use with Dolby Surround program sources,  but can also
improve sound field unity for programs that are not Dolby Surround
encoded. Dialog positioning and sound image definition, however,
may not be as accurate when used with programs that are not Dolby
Surround encoded.

What is DSP?
The DSP stands for Digital Signal Processor. In the DSP presence mode, the reverberation components (elements of sound echoed in
various spaces) which determine the feeling of presence are created by digital processing by the DSP without spoiling the sound quality
of the original music source.
Note Note
Recommended speaker installation
It is recommended that the surround speakers are installed straight to the left and right of the listening position or slightly behind, at a height
of about 1 meter higher than the listenerÕs ears.
DSP mode
The DSP mode lets you add the atmosphere of an arena, jazz club, or
stadium to almost any type of program source.* These modes are
particularly effective when used with stereo program sources, like
CD, television, and FM radio. You might enjoy trying the STADIUM or
ARENA mode the next time you watch a concert or sporting event!
The EFFECT level lets you adjust the ÒpresenceÓ of the sonic
environment according to your preference.
* The DSP mode will produce a stereo-like surround effect from
monaural sources, but there will be some reduction in the presence
of the arena, jazz club, or stadium (etc.).

How to calculate the
proper delay time
Assuming that the distance from
the front speakers is A meters and
that from the surround speakers
is B meters:
Front
speakers
Surround
speakers
What is delay time?
The sound entering the ears include the direct sound coming from the sound source and the indirect sounds reflected from the walls, floor,
ceiling, etc. The indirect sounds are delayed because they travel longer distance required for reflection before they reach the ears. The delay
time is the difference in time between the direct sound and indirect sounds.1Use the delay time calcula-
tion chart on the right.
Example:
When A = 3 m,B = 3 m,
the delay time is 20 ms.
2Use the following
formula for calculation.
Delay time =
20 + 3 ´  (A - B) (Unit: ms)
Adjust the level from each speaker. ÒTest ToneÓ

2Adjust the levels of the other speakers than the front
speakers (left, right).
