Sound Mode Effect

The Dolby Digital surround format lets you enjoy up to 5.1 channels of digital surround sound from a Dolby Digital program source. If you play DVD of laser discs with “ ” mark, you can enjoy even better sound

quality, greater spatial accuracy, and improved dynamic range. This is because Dolby Digital delivers up to 5 totally discrete, audio channels (front left and right, center, and rear left and right), plus 0.1 channel called LFE*(bass-only effects channel) *LFE=Low Frequency Effects. This channel delivers separate nondirectional bass signals to the subwoofer for more dynamic deep bass sound effects.

Use this mode when playing movie or Dolby Digital 2 channel which carries the “ ” mark. This mode provides the effect of being in a movie theater or live concert house-an effect with an intensity which can only be obtained through DOLBY PRO LOGIC SURROUND. The effect of the front/back/left/right movement of the sound image, as well as the sense of fixed position in the sound image, is much clearer and more dynamic than before.

3D SURROUND This unit can produce a 3D Surround effect, using 3D Surround Sound technology, which simulates multi-chan-

nel audio playback from two conventional stereo speakers instead of the five or more speakers normally required to listen to multi-channel audio from a home theatre. This feature works with DVD discs encoded with Dolby Pro Logic and Dolby Digital audio tracks.

3 STEREO Dolby 3 Stereo surround sound uses analog or digital audio signals to playback three speakers. You do not

require rear speakers. This allows you to enjoy a home theater surround sound experience without connecting rear channel speakers. 3 Stereo can be used with Dolby Digital or Dolby Pro Logic audio sources.

Selecting a Sound Mode

Press the SOUND repeatedly until the sound mode you want appears in the display window.

See the table below for information on each sound mode.

You can enjoy surround sound simply by selecting one of the pre-programmed sound fields according to the program you want to listen to.

This operation works only with CD/DVD discs.
