Surround Effects
As the unit is designed so that you can set
up the delay according to the source of
sound and the size of place, you can
expand a live and feeling as if in a theater
or a concert hall.
SURROUND Mode
This unit has 7 kinds of the surround modes.
Select the desired mode suitable to the
source and your system.
... HALL (Concert Hall)
It reproduces such a sound of large
scale performance like an orchestra as if
in a concert hall.
... THEATER
You can enjoy the magnificent and vivid
sound as if in the theater.
... LIVE
It is effective especially in giving a
widely expanding feeling to strong music
like a rock concert.
... DISCO
This mode emphasizes unique low
frequency region.
... STADIUM
This mode provides the effect of being in
a wide space.
... ä PRO LOGIC
It is most suitable to the source of
theater (music) which has the mark of
ä.
... ∂ 3 STEREO
In case that you do not use the rear
speaker, you can enjoy the sound of
Dolby Pro Logic.
Dolby Pro Logic
Dolby Pro Logic produces much vivider
sound, while a conventional surround
system has reproduced a intended
presence of sound.
Because this system is designed to clarify
stable phases of the sound with a unique
technology of signal process emphasizing
the orientation in the production of CD and
LD, you can enjoy the surrounding sound
with orientation and presence at your
home.

CENTER Mode
There are 3 kinds of the center modes.
Select the desired mode suitable to your
speaker system.
... NORMAL Mode
When a smaller center speaker is used
that is not capable of reproducing bass
signal as well as the left and right
speakers.
... WIDE Mode
When a center speaker is used that is
capable of reproducing bass signals
equivalent to the left and right front
speakers.
... PHANTOM Mode
In case that you do not use a center
speaker.
(In this case, the sound of center
speaker is played out of the front right
and the front left speakers.)
Dolby 3 Stereo
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.
CENTER Mode
Dolby 3 Stereo has only NORMAL and WIDE
modes, not PHANTOM mode which Dolby
Pro Logic has altogether with the former
two modes.
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.
