Using the Surround Modes
This unit provides a variety of surround effects, enabling you to
enjoy the feeling of a movie theater, concert hall, or studio in
your room.
To get optimized surround sounds, your speaker system plays an
important role. For how to connect and setup speakers, see
pages 8 and 9.
• DOLBY PRO LOGIC Surround
Use this mode to playback sources bearing
logo, such as VHS Hi-Fi, laser discs, and DVD video software.
Dolby Pro Logic Surround provides four channels of surround
sound (Left/Right front, Center, and monaural Surround
channels), with emphasis placed on the Center speaker.
• HALL Surround
This mode is especially suitable for media already having a
substantial amount of reverberation such as classical music. The
atmosphere of a concert hall can be simulated.
