You can take advantage of surround sound simply by
selecting one of the receiver's pre-programmed sound
modes. They bring the exciting and powerful sound of
movie theaters and concert halls into your home. You can
also customize the sound modes to obtain the sound you
desire by changing the various surround parameters.
The receiver contains a variety of different sound modes.
The cinema sound modes ate designed for use when
playing back movie software (DVD, LD, etc.) encoded
with multi channel surround sound or Dolby Pro Logic.
In addition to decoding the surround sound, some of
these modes also provide sound effects commonly found
in movie theaters.
The virtual sound modes contain compelling applications
of the Sony Digital Cinema Sound digital signal
processing technology. They shift the sound away from
the actual speaker locations to simulate the presence of
several "virtual" speakers.
The music (etc.) sound modes are designed for use with
standard audio sources and TV broadcasts. They add
reverberation to the source signal to make you feel as if
you were in a concert hall or stadium (etc.). Use these
sound modes with two-charmel sources like CD and
stereo broadcasts of sports programs or musical concerts.
For more information about the sound modes, see pages
33-35.
A.F.D.
The "Auto Format Decoding" sound mode presents the
sound exactly as it was encoded, without adding any
reverberation (etc.).
