Glossary

Centre mode
Setting of speakers to enhance Dolby Pro
Logic Surround mode. To obtain the
best possible surround sound, select one
of the four centre modes (WIDE,
NORMAL, PHANTOM or 3 CH LOGIC)
according to your speaker system.
Dolby Pro Logic Surround
Decoding system of Dolby Surround
sound standardized in TV programmes
and movies. Compared with the former
Dolby Surround system, Dolby Pro
Logic Surround improves sound image
by using four separate channels: off-
screen audio effects, on-screen dialog,
left-to-right panning, and music. These
channels manipulate the sound to be
heard and enhance the action as it
happens on the screen.
Dolby Surround
Encoding and decoding system of Dolby
Surround sound for consumer use.
Dolby Surround decodes the extra
channels on the Dolby Surround-
encoded sound tracks of movie videos
and TV programmes and produces
sound effects and echoes that make the
action seem to envelop you.
The amplifier offers Dolby Surround
(PRO LOGIC) as one of the pre-
programmed sound fields. If you have
rear or centre speaker(s), we recommend
that you customize the Dolby Surround
sound field by selecting the appropriate
centre mode to take advantage of Dolby
Pro Logic Surround sound.
Effect level
Combination of the level of early
reflections and reverberation. You can
adjust the effect level in 6 levels. As you
select higher levels, the room becomes
"live," and as you select lower levels, the
room becomes "dead."

Parameter
Variable of sound that composes sound
image, such as tone or delay time. You
can customize the pre-programmed
sound fields by adjusting parameters to
suit your listening situation.
Sound field
Sound pattern produced by a sounding
source or sources in a given
environment due to direct and reflected
sounds and the acoustics of the
environment. The amplifier offers pre-
programmed sound fields to let you
enjoy surround sound easily.
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.
