Using Advanced Sound Options
Your receiver has four special sound options: Dolby Pro Logic Surround, Dolby
3CH Logic, DSP Effect, and Dolby Virtual. These special options enhance the
sound from a connected program source.
Notes:
• To get the full benefit from programs encoded with Dolby Surround
Sound, you need a stereo VCR or DVD/LD player.
• Dolby Surround does not operate correctly if the signal passes through a
graphic equalizer. If you connected an equalizer to the TAPE 2 MONITOR
jacks, do not select TAPE 2 MONITOR when you listen to Dolby Surround
signals.
To turn on Dolby Pro Logic Surround or Dolby 3CH Logic, press PRO LOGIC on
the remote control until PRO LOGIC , THEATER 1 , or THEATER 2 appears on
the display, then press SURROUND followed by CENTER MODE to select NORMAL ,
WIDE , PHANTOM , or 3chLOGIC . See “Sound Mode Adjustments (Remote
Control Only)” on Page 22 for information about each of these options.
For Dolby Virtual, press DOLBY VIRTUAL ( VIRTUAL on the remote control) to turn
this feature on or off. To turn on a DSP effect, press DSP MODE until the desired
option (see below) appears on the display.
Dolby Pro Logic Surround
Dolby Pro Logic Surround puts you in the middle of the action. The center- and
rear-channel speakers add incredible realism by directing the sound to the
appropriate speakers, making you feel like you are really there.
Pro Logic is
the standard.
Dolby 3CH Logic
Dolby 3CH Logic produces a more spacious sound field than is possible with
ordinary stereo playback by sending the rear channel’s sound to the front left
and right speakers. Select
3chLOGIC when you play a Dolby Surround Sound
program and do not have rear speakers.
Dolby Virtual
Dolby Virtual lets you enjoy programs encoded with Dolby Surround while using
only two front speakers.
DSP Effect
You can choose one of five DSP effects — HALL , JAZZ , DANCE , THEATER 1 ,
or THEATER 2 . Hall simulates a large concert hall, best suited for classical mu-
sic. Jazz provides the acoustic effects generally heard in jazz clubs. Dance
gives the effect of a discotheque. Both theater modes provide the effect of a
movie theater. THEATER 1 sounds like a large movie theater. THEATER 2
seems like a smaller theater. Try each setting to find the best effect for your pro-
grams.
