Dolby Pro Logic Surround

This unit employs a Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder similar

to professional Dolby Stereo decoders used in many movie

theaters. By using the Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder,

you can experience the dramatic realism and impact of Dolby

Surround movie theater sound in your own home. Dolby Pro

Logic employs a four-channel-five-speaker system. The Pro

Logic Surround system divides the input signal into four

levels: the left and right main channels, the center channel

(used for dialog), and the rear surround sound channels

(used for sound effects, background noise, and other ambient

noises). The center channel allows listeners seated in even

less-than-ideal positions to hear the dialog originating from

the action on the screen while experiencing good stereo

imaging.

Dolby Surround is encoded on the sound track of pre-

recorded video tapes, laser discs, and some TV/cable

broadcasts. When you play a source encoded with Dolby

Surround on this unit, the Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder

decodes the signal and distributes the surround-sound

effects.

In addition, this unit features a built-in automatic input balance

control. This always assures you the best performance

without manual adjustment.

SETTING UP THE SPEAKERS

This unit is designed to provide the best sound-field quality with a 5-speaker configuration: a pair of front speakers, a pair of rear

speakers and a center speaker. You can use one rear speaker only instead of using two rear speakers, and omit the center

speaker. (Refer to the “Speaker configuration” shown below.)

The front speakers are used for the main source sound plus the effect sounds. The rear speakers are used for the effect and

surround sounds, and the center speaker is for the center sounds (dialog etc.).

Speaker balance adjustment

This procedure lets you adjust the sound output level balance

between the front, center, and rear speakers using the built-in

test tone generator. When this adjustment is performed, the

sound output level heard at the listening position will be the

same from each speaker. This is important for the best

performance of the built-in Dolby Pro Logic surround decoder.

The adjustment of each speaker output level should be

done at your listening position with the remote control

transmitter. Otherwise, the result may not be satisfactory.

Brief Overview of Sound Field Programs

PROGRAM

FEATURE

This program is used for playback of sources encoded with Dolby Surround.

Sounds are reproduced as movie creaters designed by using five speakers. You can experience the

dramatic realism and impact of a movie theater.

PRO LOGIC

This program is effective not only for playback of sources encoded with Dolby Surround, but also for

sources not encoded with Dolby Surround or TV programs with 2-channel stereo sound. With this

program, 2-channel stereo sound is converted into 3-channels (left front, center and right front), so the

dialogs are emphasized on the center position by the use of the center speaker. As no sound is output

from the rear speakers, this program is also effective in a simple Audio/Video system without rear

speakers.

3 STEREO

In this program, the center will appear to be deep behind the front speakers, creating an expansive

large hall ambience. Orchestra and opera music is suited for this sound field.

HALL

ARENA

DISCO

This program simulates the sound environment of a big hall with long reverberation time and many

reflections of high frequencies.

This program recreates the acoustic environment of a lively disco in the heart of a very lively city. The

sound is dense and highly concentrated. It is also characterized by a high-energy, “immediate” sound.

This program gives you long delays between direct sounds and effect sounds, and extraordinarily

spacious feel of a large stadium.

STADIUM

This program is designed specifically to enhance mono source programs. Compared to a strictly

mono setting, the sound image created in this mode is wider and slightly forward of the speaker pair,

lending an immediacy to the overall sound. It is particularly effective when used with old mono

movies, news broadcasts and dialog.

Do not write on either side of the disc, particularly the non-

label side. Signals are read from the non-label side. Do not

mark this surface.

•

Keep your discs away from direct sunlight, heat and

excessive moisture.

•

Always hold the CDs by the edges. Fingerprints, dirt or

•

water on the CDs can cause noise or mistracking. If a CD

is dirty or does not play properly, clean it with a soft, dry

cloth, wiping straight out from the center, along the radius.
