Adding surround effects to stereo sources
Using Dolby Pro Logic2 2
Dolby Pro Logic 2 processor works not only on sources recorded
with Dolby Surround, but also on any stereo source.
The following modes are available when using Dolby Pro
Logic 2.
Using NEO:6
Use NEO:6 to play 2-channel sources through multi-channels.
The following modes are available when playing 2-channel
sources.
Using the Sound Field Control (SFC)
Enjoy an enhanced sound experience with greater presence and
spread by using these SFC modes with PCM or analog
stereo sources.
Choose from the following modes.
Dolby Pro Logic 2, NEO:6 and SFC modes remain in effect until
you change them.
¡ ¡ To return to stereo sound
Press [STEREO/2CH MIX].
ENHANCED SURROUND mode
This mode uses the surround back speaker to create a
realistic sound field. It is especially effective when playing
DTS-ES and Dolby Digital Surround EX, but can be used
with other DTS and Dolby Digital sources, as well as
Dolby Pro Logic 2 and NEO:6. This mode engages automatically if
the disc has a recognition signal for DTS-ES or Dolby Digital
Surround EX (you can still turn the mode off).
Listening to multi-channel sources in stereo
When surround sources are played in this mode, the
sounds intended for the other speaker channels are
played through the front speakers.
The 2CH MIX mode remains in effect until you change input mode
or turn off the unit.
¡ ¡ To return to surround sound
Press [STEREO/2CH MIX].
If the unit does not automatically recognize Dolby Digital
Surround EX or DTS-ES and output is 5.1 channels:
¡ ¡ Press [ENHANCED SURROUND] to switch the mode on manually.
Sound will now come from the surround back speaker.
