The receiver memorizes the last sound field selected
for each programme source (Sound Field Link)
Whenever you select a programme source, the sound
field that was last applied is automatically applied
again. For example, if you listen to CD with HALL as
the sound field, change to different programme source,
then return to CD, HALL will be applied again. In the
case of the tuner, the sound fields for AM or FM band
and for all the preset stations are memorized separately.
You can find Dolby Surround-encoded software by
looking at the packaging
However, some videos and laser discs may use Dolby
Surround sound even if it’s not indicated on the
package.
Note
Make sure to select speaker A with the SPEAKERS A button,
otherwise, you can’t obtain the surround effect.
Adjusting the Effect Level (except PRO
LOGIC)
You can make the surround sound more prominent by
increasing the EFFECT level. This control lets you
adjust the “presence” of the surround effect in six steps
(1-6).
1 Start playing a programme source.
2 Press EFFECT/DELAY. The effect level (“EFFECT

Centre mode
Setting of speakers to enhance Dolby Pro
Logic Surround mode. To obtain the best
possible surround sound, select one of the
following four centre modes according to
your speaker system.
• NORMAL mode
Select NORMAL mode if you have front
and rear speakers and a small centre
speaker. Since a small speaker cannot
produce enough bass, the bass sound of
the centre channel is output from the front
speakers.
Front

from the front speakers to let you
experience some of the surround sound
without using rear speakers.
Front

Delay time
Time lag between the surround sound output
from front speakers and rear speakers. By
adjusting the delay time of the rear speakers,
you can obtain the feeling of presence. Make
the delay time longer when you have placed
the rear speakers in a small room or close to
your listening position, and make it shorter
when you have placed them in a large room
or apart from your listening position.
Direct tuning
Tuning method to let you directly enter a
station’s frequency using the numeric
buttons. Use this method if you know the
frequency of the station you want.
Dolby Pro Logic Surround
As one method of decoding Dolby Surround,
Dolby Pro Logic Surround produces four
channels from two channel sound. Compared
with the former Dolby Surround system,
Dolby Pro Logic Surround reproduces left-to
right panning more naturally and localizes
sounds more precisely. To take full
advantage of Dolby Pro Logic Surround, you
should have one pair of rear speakers and a
centre speaker. The rear speakers output
monaural sound.
5.1 CH/DVD
These jacks are used to input decoded Dolby
Digital (AC-3) audio signals, allowing you to
enjoy 5.1 channel surround sound. Use these
jacks to connect a Dolby Digital (AC-3)
decoder or a DVD player with a built-in AC-3
decoder.
Preset station
A radio broadcasting station that is stored in
memory of the receiver. Once you “preset”
stations, you no longer have to tune in the
stations. Each preset station is assigned its
own preset number, which lets you tune
them in quickly.
Surround sound
Sound that consists of three elements: direct
sound, early reflected sound (early
reflections) and reverberative sound
(reverberation). The acoustics where you hear
the sound affect the way these three sound
elements are heard. These sound elements are
combined in such a way that you can actually
feel the size and the type of a concert hall.
• Types of sound

Test tone
Signal given out by the receiver for adjusting
the speaker volume. The test tone will come
out as follows:
• In a system with a centre speaker
(NORMAL/WIDE/3 STEREO modes)
The test tone is output from the front L
(left), centre, front R (right), and rear
speakers in succession.
Front (L)
