[2] 2-channel mode settings

• When 2-channel signals are input, one of two playback modes can be selected and set according to the 2-

channel mode setting, Virtual 1 or Virtual 2. (The Virtual 1 mode is set by factory default.)

Virtual 1 : 2-channel sources are played in virtual surround using Dolby Pro Logic

II Cinema processing.

Virtual 1 : 2-channel sources are played in virtual surround using Dolby Pro Logic processing.

NOTES:

• The 2-channel mode cannot be set when Dolby

Digital or DTS 5.1-channel signals.

• The 2-channel mode is set and stored in the

memory individually for the different functions.

Set the surround mode to “DOLBY VIRTUAL

SPEAKER” (“DOLBY VS”).

• The normal display reappears after the

surround mode is displayed.

Press the SURROUND PARAMETER button and

select the 2-channel mode.

VS VIRTUAL1

This can be selected if there is no digital input

signal, if the digital input is a PCM or Dolby

Digital 2-channel signal and if the input is

analog.

Turn the SURROUND/SELECT control on the

main unit or use the

and

1 cursor buttons on

the remote control unit to select the desired 2-

channel mode.

VIRTUAL1 (Virtual 1 mode):

In this mode, 2-channel sources are played with

Dolby Pro Logic

II Cinema processing. This mode

is suited for playing movie sources recorded in

Dolby Surround and regular stereo sources.

VIRTUAL2 (Virtual 2 mode):

In this mode, 2-channel sources are played with

Dolby Pro Logic processing. This mode is

compatible with regular Dolby Pro Logic playback.

With it, the recorded playback image of sources

recorded in Dolby Surround is recreated faithfully.

VIDEO GAME

ROCK ARENA

JAZZ CLUB

MATRIX

5CH/6CH

STEREO

Use this to enjoy video game sources.

Use this mode to achieve the feeling of a live concert in an arena with reflected

sounds coming from all directions.

This mode creates the sound field of a live house with a low ceiling and hard walls.

This mode gives jazz a very vivid realism.

Select this to emphasize the sense of expansion for music sources recorded in

stereo. Signals consisting of the difference component of the input signals (the

component that provides the sense of expansion) processed for delay are output

from the surround channel.

In this mode, the signals of the front left channel are output from the left surround

channel, the signals of the front right channel are output from the right surround

channel, and the same (in-phase) component of the left and right channels is output

from the center channel. This mode provides all speaker surround sound, but

without directional steering effects, and works with any stereo program source.

DSP SURROUND SIMULATION

Surround modes and their features

• This unit is equipped with a high performance DSP (Digital Signal Processor) which uses digital signal

processing to synthetically recreate the sound field. One of 6 preset surround modes can be selected according

to the program source and the parameters can be adjusted according to the conditions in the listening room to

achieve a more realistic, powerful sound. These surround modes can also be used for program sources not

recorded in Dolby Surround Pro Logic, Dolby Digital or DTS.

MONO MOVIE

(NOTE 1)

Select this when watching monaural movies for a greater sense of expansion.

Depending on the program source being played, the effect may not be very noticeable.

In this case, try other surround modes, without worrying about their names, to create a sound field suited to

your tastes.

NOTE 1: When playing sources recorded in monaural, the sound will be one-sided if signals are only input to one

channel (left or right), so input signals to both channels. If you have a source component with only one

audio output (monophonic camcorder, etc.) obtain a “Y” adapter cable to split the mono output to two

outputs, and connect to the L and R inputs.

Personal Memory Plus

This set is equipped with a personal memorize function that automatically memorizes the surround modes

and input modes selected for the input different sources. When the input source is switched, the modes set

for that source last time it was used are automatically recalled.

The surround parameters, tone control settings and playback level balance for the different output

channels are memorized for each surround mode.

NOTE:

DIRECT, STEREO, DOLBY PRO LOGIC

II, DOLBY VIRTUAL SPEAKER and DOLBY HEADPHONE mode can be

used when playing PCM signals with a sampling frequency of 96 kHz (such as from DVD-Video discs that

contain 24 bit, 96 kHz audio). If such signals are input during playback in the other surround modes, the mode

automatically switches to STEREO.
