ENJOYING SURROUND SOUND

Surround sound effect will not work properly if the signal passes through a graphic equalizer.

Please refer to your equalizer operating instructions for guidance on switching off (or defeating) the equalizer.

Note : Before surround playback, first perform the SPEAKER SETUP procedure, etc. on the OSD menu for optimum

performance.(For detail, refer to “SETTING THE SPEAKER SETUP” on page 34.)

Depending on the input digital signal format, select the desired decoding mode.

Each time this button is pressed, the decoding mode changes as
follows :

* Auto mode(“ AUTO” lights up) : The input digital signal format (DTS,

Dolby Digital, MPEG or PCM ( 2 channel stereo), etc.) used by the
selected digital input source is detected automatically to perform the
necessary decoding process for optimum surround modes.

* Dolby Digital mode(“DOLBY DIGITAL” lights up) : The Dolby Digital

signals processing is performed only when Dolby Digital signals are input.

* DTS mode(“ DTS” lights up) : The DTS signal processing is performed

only when DTS signals are input.

* MPEG mode(“MPEG” lights up) : The MPEG signal processing is

performed only when MPEG signals are input.

* PCM mode(“PCM” lights up) : The PCM signal processing is performed

only when PCM signals are input.

Select the desired surround mode.

the following modes can be selected.

DOLBY DIGITAL (

When the analog input is selected as signal input and analog stereo signals are input, you can select the same
surround modes as those listed for the PCM input.

However, when DTS or MPEG signals are input in the following decoding modes, the corresponding surround mode will
be automatically selected regardless of using the MULTI CONTROL knob or DSP MODE button:

* When DTS signals are input in the auto or DTS mode, the corresponding DTS mode will be selected.
* When MPEG signals are input in the auto or MPEG mode, MPEG mode will be selected.
Notes:
When the selected decoding mode is not matched to the input signal format, the indicator of the signal being input
flickers, meaning the required process cannot be performed and no sound is heard. Therefore, be sure to select the
required decoding mode and the available surround mode according to the input signal format.
When the 7.1 CH DIRECT is selected as an input source, the surround mode cannot be selected.
When the source direct function is activated, the decoding mode and surround mode cannot be selected.

Notes :

Only when the digital input is selected as signal input for the input sources except TUNER and AUX, the
decoding mode can be selected.
Noise may be generated at the beginning of playback and while searching during DTS playback in the auto mode.
To minimize this possibility, try playing in the DTS mode.
