Setting Up SURROUND Mode

What are SURROUND Modes?

You can experience true home-theater sound with your new system. This system incorporates several surround modes to let you enjoy surround sound with a wide variety of program sources. Each produces multiple channels of surround-sound, but each does it differently.

Dolby Digital: Dolby Digital uses an encode/decode process based on its theatrical digital surround sound technology. The five main channels are full-frequency and independent, so sound can completely envelop you or soar anywhere in the room, just like at the movies. Compared with Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Digital has more clarity, greater surround envelopment, and more realistic sound movement between channels.

Dolby Pro Logic and Dolby Pro Logic II: Dolby Pro Logic reproduces a surround sound like in a movie theater from Dolby Surround-encoded program source (videotape or LaserDisc software carrying the Dolby Surround logo), and features excellent sound movement on the front and a surrounding atmosphere of movie theaters. Meanwhile, Dolby Pro Logic II decodes a signal encoded in 2 channels into 5-channel signals composed of the left/right front signals, center signal and surround left/right signals.

Dolby Pro Logic II is an advanced version of the decoding technology used with Dolby Pro Logic. It inputs 2-channel signals from a Dolby Surround-encoded source and reproduces 5-channel signals in which the surround channel is divided into independent channels for the left and right. Dolby Pro Logic II has the MOVIE mode and MUSIC mode.

DTS: DTS has five full-frequency channels that create effects nearly identical to those in a theater. Sounds seem to zoom from one place to another or entirely surround you. Like Dolby Digital, DTS has much-improved clarity, surround and sound movement capability compared with Dolby Pro Logic. This surround mode is available on CD, LD, and DVD media. DTS is a strictly digital format that can be supplied only by a CD, LD, or DVD player that supports DTS sound.

Stereo: Stereo surround mode provides standard stereo sound to the front left and right speakers.

When recording to VCR from the DVD player, set the SURROUND mode to stereo. Do not switch the SURROUND mode while recording to VCR.

The INPUT/OUTPUT status indicator becomes an input indicator at the time of DOLBY DIGITAL and DTS source and an output indicator at all other times.

Description of Dolby Pro Logic II: Music Mode

Panorama: Expands the image of front-channel stereo to the surround speakers to create a sound environment that fills

your surroundings. (To change the Panorama mode, press SETUP at the time of Dolby Pro Logic II Music mode. Display the PANORA OFF or ON, then press the LEVEL ( ) buttons to select on or off.)

Dimension: This controls the balance between the Front and Rear in 2 steps on the front and 2 steps on the rear. Set this

parameter to one of the Front steps if the surround effect is too strong, or to one of the Back steps if it is too weak. (To change the Dimension, press SETUP button twice at the time of Dolby Pro Logic II Music mode.

Display the DIMEN 0 (or other value), then press the LEVEL ( ) buttons to select F-2, F-3, R-2 or R-3.) Center Width: The center channel signal can be divided and distributed to the Front L/R channels.

The adjustment for distributing the center channel signal to the front channels can be applied in eight steps

from 0 to 7. Use this adjustment when the center image seems to be too strong. (To change the Center Width,

press SETUP button 3 times at the time of Dolby Pro Logic II Music mode. Display the C-WIDTH 0 (or other

value), then press the LEVEL ( ) buttons to select 0-7.)

Delay Time Setting

The ideal listening position for 6-channel surround playback is the point at equal distance from all speakers. By setting the delay time for the center and surround speakers, this item realizes the ideal listening position virtually. (The center and surround speakers can be set as if they are laid out on the dotted line circle shown below.)

Ideal surround speaker position

How to Set the Delay Time

The front speakers (L/R) can be adjusted between 40 feet (12 m) and 3 feet (0.9m). The range which can be set for the center speaker (C) and the surround speakers (LS/RS) differs according to the setting for the front speakers. A longer distance than for the front speakers can not be set.

Delay time setting sets the delay time converted to the distance from the speaker to the listening position.

MP3/WMA/JPEG Media Playback

Guidance for MP3/WMA/JPEG

MP3/WMA/JPEG media that can be played back with this equipment

Usable media: CD-ROM, CD-R, CD-RW Usable formats: IS09660 level 1 (excluding expanded formats) Files that can be played back: MP3, WMA, and JPEG.

Creating media for playing back on this equipment

Compressing MP3

Set up the transfer bit rate setting for the compression software when compressing MP3 files as follow. MP3 Files: 128kbps recommended (32kbps-320 kbps)

This unit is compatible with 32 kHz, 44.1kHz(recommended) and 48kHz sampling frequencies. This unit is compatible with ID3-TAG Ver. 1.

Some MP3, WMA, and JPEG files are not playable.

Naming Folders and Files

Single-byte characters between A and Z, single-byte numerals between 0 and 9, and the single-byte under score (_) can be displayed. Ensure that the “.mp3” (MP3 files), “.wma” (WMA files) or “.jpg” (JPEG files) extension leg is attached to all file names.

Do not add the “mp3” extension log to any files other than MP3 files. If the “mp3” extension log is added to any files other than MP3 files, the equipment will assume that they can be played back, and this will produce loud noises in the speakers, resulting in damage or adverse effects. Do not add the “jpg” extension log to any files other than JPEG files. If the “jpg” extension log is added to any files other than JPEG, the unit will not operate properly.

Confirming Media and Files

Check to ascertain that MP3 and WMA files can be played back correctly on the personal computer in use prior to saving them onto the media. Check to ensure that the saved file can be played back normally.

Confirm that the WMA and MP3 files can be played on a PC prior to saving to the media.

When Saving Files onto Media

Ensure that the session is closed or finalized when data has been written on media There are cases where media on which the session has not be closed or finalized will not be played back correctly with this equipment.

There are cases where the folder names and file names will not be displayed correctly depending on the software used to save them. Do not store files or folders other than MP3, WMA, or JPEG on media to be played back with this equipment. It is recommended that ten or less sessions are stored when recording MP3 files onto a media. In case of a multi session disc, a delay may sometimes occur until playback begins. There are cases where playback is not possible when MP3/WMA/JPEG files (CD-ROM) and music CD information (CD-DA) are saved on the same media.

Example for a Hierarchical Structure

Example for the playback sequence

Playback is made in the order of to in the following example:

Folder names and file names are displayed up to 8 characters. When folder names and file names are recorded with more than 8 characters, the names will be displayed in abbreviated form.
