This mode reproduces a delayed signals from the surround channels to emphasize the sense of expansion.

󳥎󳥎

Dolby Pro Logic

Dolby Pro Logic is a specially encoded two channel surround format which consists of four channels (front left, center, front right and surround). Sources bearing the “ ” provide the theater-like surround sound. The surround channel is monaural, but is played through two surround speakers.

󳥎󳥎

Dolby Virtual

This mode employs sophisticated digital processing to create the illusion of “phantom” speakers, this mode allows you to experience surround sound effects from the Dolby Digital, Dolby Surround or 2-channel(recorded in digital PCM or analog stereo) sources, through just a single pair of front speakers.

THEATER

This mode provides the effect of being in a movie theater

when watching a movie source.

󳥎󳥎

HALL

This mode provides the ambience of a concert hall for classical music sources such as orchestral, chamber music, or an instrumental solo.

󳥎󳥎

To obtain the best surround sound effect in your home, place the speakers as follows;

󳢯Front speakers: Place each front speaker about 1m (40″) from the TV set. 󳢯Center speaker: Place the center speaker either above or below the TV set to

assure good visualization of center channel program.

󳢯Rear speakers: Place the rear speakers approximately 1m above the ear level

of a seated listener on the direct left and right of them or slightly behind.

󳢯Subwoofer: Reproduces powerful deep bass sounds. Place a powered

subwoofer anywhere in the front as desired.

󳢯The ideal surround system needs all the speakers listed above.

To obtain the best surround effects, the speakers except the subwoofer should be full range speakers. Note: To avoid interference with the TV picture, use only magnetically

shielded center and front speakers.

󳢯For your reference, the sound from each channel can be reproduced according

to the surround modes as follows:

• Depending on the speaker settings, the sound from the corresponding channels cannot be reproduced. (For details, refer to “Adjusting the speaker settings” on page 16.)

When the center speaker or the rear speakers is(are) closer to the listener than the front speakers, the sound from the center speaker or the rear speakers can arrive at the listener’s ears earlier than the sound from the front speakers. In this case, the imaging is not as sharp and stable as it could be. For audible improvement, the sound from center speaker can be delayed with the center delay time setting so that the sound from the front and the center speakers will be heard at the same time and the sound from the rear speakers can be also delayed with the rear delay time setting so that the sound from the front and the rear speakers will be heard at the same time. The optimum delay time will be different according to the room size and the acoustic properties. It is recommended that you try several times to obtain the best effect.

󳢯It is adjustable in Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic II, Dolby Pro Logic or Dolby Virtual modes. (For details,

refer to “In Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic II, Dolby Pro Logic or Dolby Virtual mode, adjusting delay times of the speakers” on page 18)

In Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic II, Dolby Pro Logic or Dolby Virtual mode, adjusting delay times of the speakers

󳢯The delay time will be displayed for 5 seconds. 󳢯The corresponding delay time is displayed. The

center delay time can be adjusted in the Dolby Digital mode only.

󳢯In the Dolby Virtual mode, “NARROW” or

“WIDE” is displayed.

󳢯Each time this button is pressed in the Dolby

Digital, Dolby Pro Logic II or Dolby Pro Logic mode, the delay time changes in regular intervals.

󳢯Each time this button is pressed in the Dolby Virtual

mode, the delay mode changes as follows:

󳥘

NARROW: Relatively long distance from the

󳥘 prime listening position to front

speakers.

WIDE: Relatively short distance.

󳢯If the delay time disappears, start from the step 17

again.

󳢯In case of Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic II or Dolby

Pro Logic mode, when the distances from the prime listening position to front left, center, front right, rear left and rear right speakers are same, the basic settings are as follows according to the surround modes;

- In the Dolby Digital mode, Center delay time : 0 ms, Rear delay time : 0 ms

- In the Dolby Pro Logic II Music, Matrix or Custom mode, Rear delay time : 0 ms

- In the Dolby Pro Logic II Movie, Dolby Pro Logic mode, Rear delay time : 10 ms

󳢯If the center or the rear speaker(s) is(are) not at the

same distance from the prime listening position as the front speakers, increase or decrease the center delay time by 1 ms for every about 30 cm(1 foot) it is closer or farther away and increase or decrease the rear delay time by 5 ms for every about 1~1.5 m(3~5 feet) it is closer or farther away.

Downmixing into 2 front channels

󳢯To cancel the 2-CH downmix mode, select the

desired surround mode with using the DSP MODE button.

󳢯When the playback of the source on the player is

stopped or interrupted, etc., the 2-CH downmix mode is not canceled even though “ST” and the DTS or Dolby Digital indicators go off.

󳢯If the headphones are plugged and the SPEAKER

button is set to off while the digital signals from the DTS and Dolby Digital program sources are being input, it will enter the 2-CH downmix mode automatically(but only the DTS or Dolby Digital indicator lights up still) and if the headphones are unplugged and the SPEAKER button is set to on in the 2-CH downmix mode, it will return to the previous mode.

󳢯Allows the multi-channel DTS or Dolby Digital signals

to be reproduced through only two speakers or through headphones.

󳢯When the digital signals from the DTS or Dolby Digital

program sources are input in available surround mode, press the STEREO button.

󳢯“ST” and the DTS or Dolby Digital indicators light up,

meaning it enters the 2-CH downmix mode, and then the discrete multi-channels(except LFE) are mixed down into 2 front channels.

Adjust the delay time.

Check the delay time to be adjusted.

In Dolby Digital mode, repeat the above steps 17 and 18 to adjust the rear delay time.
