Surround Sound Effects

SURROUND PROCESSING

Dolby 3 Stereo (3 channel mode)

Combines the front and rear signals so that you can enjoy a regenerated sound field which has comparatively more presence and a more expansive feeling from the front 3 channels (front L, front R, center speaker) than that of ordinary stereo regeneration.

Dolby Pro Logic Surround

A great number of movies made in recent times have the sound track specially encoded with the Dolby Surround Mode (carrying the [Dolby Stereo] or [Dolby Surround] trademark*).

The front speakers provide the dialogue and the normal stereo effect, while the rear speakers reproduce the surround signals. This mode provides excellent results when watching television programs, video software, video discs or video tapes of stereo television broadcasts encoded with Dolby Surround. Dolby Stereo films have dramatically changed the role of the movie-goer from that of observer to that of participant. Clearer dialogue, richer music, enveloping ambience and making high-fidelity, multi-dimensional sound are essential parts of cinematic presentations. Imagine recreating the same sort of audio-visual experience right in your own home.

SPEAKER INSTALLATION

The AVR 10 incorporates a decoder which reproduces the specially encoded surround sound of Dolby Surround video programs. In Dolby Surround mode, select the speaker operation mode which best suits your speaker system,:

ENGLISH

3 STERO mode

Select this mode when you play back a Dolby Surround program or a normal Stereo source only with the front and center speakers. The sound of the rear channels is output from the front (L and R) speakers.

ENGLISH

WIDEBAND mode

Select this mode if you use a center speaker big enough for reproducing all bass frequencies.

PHANTOM mode

Select this mode when you play back a Dolby Surround program source without using a center speaker. The sound of the center channel is redirected to the front (L and R) speakers.

NORMAL mode

Select this mode if you use a medium to small center speaker. The bass sound of the center channel is output from the front speakers, as a small speaker cannot produce enough bass.

AVR10 engelsk 11/01/98 10:10 Side 12

Operation

BASIC OPERATION

1. Press the POWER button to ON. The display panel will light up. Note: If you prefer to turn the unit off and on with the remote control, this button must be left in the ON position. The remotes Standby button will then turn the unit ”ON” and ”OFF” by taking it in and out of standby mode.

2. Select the desired program source with the INPUT FUNCTION SELECTOR buttons. The selected input function will appear in the display.

• When using the NUMERIC

buttons on the remote, the station is stored in memory without pressing the MEMORY button again.

• When selecting single digit preset

numbers with the NUMERIC buttons on the remote, press the corresponding number without pressing ”0” first.

5. Repeat steps 1 to 4 to preset other stations.

ENGLISH

AVR10 engelsk 11/01/98 10:10 Side 13

RECALLING THE PRESET STATIONS

2. The receiver will start scanning the stations in the preset sequence and each station is received for 4 seconds.

3. At the desired station, press again to stop scanning.

NOTES:

• If the end of the frequency range is reached during the auto or manual tuning, tuning will continue from the opposite end.

• When FM stereo broadcasts are poor, select the FM mono mode with the SEEK STEREO button so that the AUTO indicator goes off.

• When storing a new station preset, the previously memorized station on the same preset is cleared.

• In the event of a power failure or when the receiver is disconnected from the AC outlet, the memorized stations are maintained for approximately 2 weeks.

RECORDING WITH A CASSETTE DECK

1. Select the program source to be recorded with the INPUT FUNCTION SELECTOR buttons.

2. Start recording on the cassette deck.

3. Play back the desired program source and start recording on the cassette deck.

• The volume, balance, bass and

treble settings have no effect on the recording.

• When recording is performed on

a 3-head cassette deck, the recorded sound can be monitored through the speakers by pressing the TAPE MONITOR button to ON.
