Surround effects
The reason why the sound you experience in concert halls
or stadiums is so real and live is that the sound comes not
only from the front but also from the surroundings. To
reproduce such conditions as close as possible to reality,
this unit is equipped with three Surround modes
(□□ PRO-LOGIC, THEATER, HALL). In addition, three
Dolby PRO-LOGIC modes - NORMAL, WIDE, and
PHANTOM-are provided to enhance the sound directiv­
ity and to provide the sound with a more surrounding,
powerful '"being-there" feeling.
Note on Dolby Surround
Video softwares marked with nnipoiBVBURBouMoi are encoded
with Dolby Surround information. This unit incorporates a
Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder for recreating the
Dolby Stereo theatre experience in your home with Dolby
Surround-Encoded source material.
To obtain this effect, press the □□ PRO-LOGIC key to ON,

■ Surround modes
□□ PRO-LOGIC mode
The PRO-LOGIC mode is used when playing a source
encoded with Dolby Surround signals. (The following
modes can be selected by pressing the CENTER MODE
key repeatedly.)
NORMAL:
Select this mode when the signal output from the
CENTER OUT jack on the rear panel is reproduced
through a small center speaker. Low frequencies below
1 00 Hz in this signal are distributed to the left and right
front speakers, and frequencies above 100 Hz are
reproduced through the center speaker,
WIDE:
The entire signal output from the CENTER OUT jack on
the rear panel is sent to the center speaker, without the
low frequencies below 1 00 Hz being routed to the left
and right speakers as in case of the Normal mode.
Set to this mode if the speaker used as the center
speaker is the same type of speaker as those used for
the front left and right positions.
PHANTOM:
This mode allows the PRO-LOGIC effect to be enjoyed
even when a center speaker is not connected. In this
case, the center signal is distributed to the left and right
front speakers.
THEATER Surround mode
This mode provides a three-dimensional effect similar to
that of a movie theater, V\/ith this mode, you can enjoy a
Surround sound effect similar to Dolby Surround sound
even when playing a video program which is not encoded
with the Dolby Surround system.
HALL Surround mode
This mode provides a natural reverberation effect. When
used with a normal source, you can enjoy the being-there
feeling or "presence" as in the hall.
