DOLBY 3 STEREO Mode is a useful one for
the customers who can not afford to install
the surround speaker. The mode provides
the effect of sound similar to Dolby Pro
Logic without surround speaker.
Dolby 3 Stereo
Delay Time
In the surround modes, the sound from the
rear speakers should be delayed slightly,
relative to that from the front speakers. The
optimum delay time will be different in
rooms of different sizes and will depend on
acoustic properties, whether the walls and
furnishings reflect or absorb sound, etc. It
is recommended that you try different delay
times to obtain the best effect. The delay is
digitally synthesized, for the highest sound
quality with minimum noise and distortion.
The delay time can be set independently for
each surround mode using up/down
control, with the current setting shown in
the display.
Dolby 3 Stereo has only NORMAL and WIDE
modes, not PHANTOM mode which Dolby
Pro Logic has altogether with the former
two modes.
