Selecting A Sound Field - Sony STR-DE535 Mode D'emploi

Using Surround Sound

Selecting a Sound Field

You can enjoy surround sound simply by selecting one
of the pre-programed sound fields according to the
program you want to listen to.
1
Press SOUND FIELD ON/OFF to turn on the
sound field.
The current sound field is indicated in the
display.
2
Press SOUND FIELD MODE +/– repeatedly to
select the sound field you want.
See the table on this page for information on each
sound field.
The receiver memorizes the last sound field selected
for each program source (Sound Field Link)
Whenever you select a program 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 program 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 identify Dolby Surround-encoded software
by looking at the packaging
Some videos and laser discs, however, may be encoded
with Dolby Surround sound even if it's not indicated on
the package.
Note
When using sound fields, do not select both speakers (A+B)
with the SPEAKERS selector.
