Adjusting the sound

Introduction

There are three basic listening modes: Auto,
Surround and Advanced Surround. The
Stereo mode (available in all three modes)

and downmixes multi-channel sources to
your two front speakers.

Auto

Dolby Digital, DTS or Dolby Surround
sources. You can identify Dolby Digital

Most Dolby Surround software is marked

, but unmarked software may
also incorporate Dolby Surround.

Surround modes

The surround mode options (below) can add
surround sound to stereo sources (except
SACD and DVD-Audio).
Choose one of the following to add depth to
a 2 channel source:

Dolby Pro Logic II Movie/ Music modes do
not give good results.

those recorded in Dolby Surround. The
channel separation and movement of
surround effects is comparable to Dolby
Digital 5.1.

Dolby Pro Logic II Music

This mode gives 5.1 channel surround sound

more enveloping.

Advanced Surround modes

These are designed to be used with multi
channel surround sound audio/visual
sources (like DVDs and LDs). Most Advanced
Surround modes are designed to be used
with film soundtracks, but some modes are
also suited for music sources. Try different
settings with various soundtracks to see
which you like.

or musical sources marked 1
R

Advanced Movie

Simulates the relaxed environment of a
movie theater, and is suitable for watching
movies on sources marked 1

6.1 surround channel listening, giving the
impression that there is a surround back
speaker in your system when listening to a
5.1 channel source.
