mark with similar acoustic effects to movie
The DOLBY PRO LOGIC mode controls the audio signals of the Front Left/Right, Center and Rear surround channels using the built-in
directivity enhancer circuit to reproduce the feeling of sound motions very realistically.
The DOLBY 3 STEREO mode can reproduce the motions of sound even when only the front and center speakers are used, by providing proper
acoustic position using the directivity enhancer circuit.
SRS 3D Stereo
The SRS (Sound Retrieval System) is an innovative system simulating a 3-dimensional sound space, which features clearly improved
feelings of depth, sound field extension and acoustic image positioning as well as a widened listening area.
Caution : Read the pages marked 3 carefully to
ensure safe operation.

2. When the remote-controllable distance gets shorter than before, replace both batteries with new ones.
3. Malfunction may occur if direct sunlight or the light of a high-frequency lighting fluorescent lamp enters the remote control light
sensor. In such a case, change the system installation position to prevent the malfunction.

Recommended speaker installation
It is recommended that the surround speakers are installed straight to the left and right of the listening position or slightly behind,
at a height of about 1 meter higher than the listener’s ears. Each surround speaker should be installed so that the longer sides are
horizontal.

To improve the feeling of presence in the surround modes,
various parameters of each surround mode can be set up
according to the speaker system used as well as to the
environmental of the listening room. The following proce-
dure let you set the parameters of the surround mode (DOLBY
PRO LOGIC, DOLBY 3 STEREO).
Once the settings have been done, it is held in memory so re-
adjustment is not necessary even after the mode has been
changed to other modes.

What is delay time?
The sound entering the ears include the direct sound coming from the sound source and the indirect sounds reflected from the walls, floor,
ceiling, etc. The indirect sounds are delayed because they travel longer distance required for reflection before they reach the ears. The delay
time is the difference in time between the direct sound and indirect sounds.

The Sound Retrieval System is an epochal system which
produces a three-dimensional sound space by applying the
most suitable processing to the sound signal on the basis of
the human listening mechanism. This permits real depth
and sound location, considered as difficult to realize with
conventional 2-channel stereo (general stereo). A sufficient
effect can be obtained for any source (CD, tape, broadcasts,
etc.).
