Selecting the surround sound
mode
IMPORTANT!
– For proper surround sound, make sure you have
followed the “Connections” and “Preparations”
procedures fully.
– The center and surround speakers only operate
when the system is set to surround sound mode
and the source material being played is recorded
or broadcast in Dolby Digital or Dolby Pro Logic
surround sound.

some surround channel effects when played in a

The availability of the various surround sound modes
depends on the number of speakers used and the incoming
sound information available on the disc. The available output
modes are shown below.
Dolby Digital Surround
Dolby Digital (also known as AC-3 or Dolby 5.1) and MPEG Multichannel
delivers a realistic and dynamic sound similar to theater and cinema. It
requires connection of all five speakers (front left/right, center, surround
left/right) and subwoofer for correct Dolby Digital Surround sound
reproduction. Each channel plays its own unique role in providing the right
sound. Front left, center and right join two surround speakers to
reproduce high, mid and bass frequencies in five full-range channels of
surround. Bass rumble, explosions and low frequency effects you feel are
delivered through the subwoofer. A large number of DVD discs have been
recorded in Dolby Digital Surround.
Dolby Pro Logic Surround
The Dolby Pro Logic Surround system is a specially encoded two-channel
analog format that will produce sound through four speaker channels
(front left, center, front right, monaural surround) when a Dolby Pro Logic
Decoder is used. It is also compatible with stereo systems but the user
will only have two-channel (front left & right) of sound.
VSS (Virtual Surround Sound)
The ProLogic MPEG or Dolby Digital surround channel is processed by a
‘virtualizer’ DSP to add surround effect from just the two front speakers.
Stereo
All sound is reproduced and played through the front left and right
speakers. This enables standard stereo reproduction.
Selecting the digital sound
effect
The digital sound effects allow you to select from various
pre-set modes that control the frequency bands of sound
