Cursor buttons
You can take advantage of surround sound simply by
selecting one of the receiver’s pre-programmed sound
modes. They bring the exciting and powerful sound of
movie theaters and concert halls into your home. You can
also customize the sound modes to obtain the sound you
desire by changing the various surround parameters.
The sound modes are divided by type into four basic
groups called “genres”. The following is a basic
explanation of each genre. For information about the
sound modes available in each genre, see pages 28~30.

The sound modes are divided by type into four basic

sound modes available in each genre, see pages 28~30.
CINEMA
The sound modes in this genre are designed for use when
playing back movie software (DVD, LD, etc.) encoded
with multi channel surround sound or Dolby Pro Logic.
In addition to decoding the surround sound, this genre
also includes sound modes that provide the reflections
and reverberation typically found in movie theaters. The
sound modes in this genre have little effect on two-
channel stereo sources (CD, MD, etc.).
VIRTUAL 3D
This genre contains compelling applications of the Sony
Digital Cinema Sound digital signal processing
technology. These sound modes shift the sound away
from the actual speaker locations to simulate the presence
of several “virtual” speakers. Like the CINEMA genre,
this genre is most effective when playing back movie
software encoded with multi channel surround sound.
MUSIC etc.
The sound modes in this genre are designed for use with
standard audio sources (like CD) and TV broadcasts.
These modes add reverberation to the source signal to
create powerful soundfields that make you feel as if you
were in a concert hall or stadium (etc.). Use the sound
modes in this genre with two-channel sources and stereo
broadcasts of sports programs or musical concerts.
A.F.D.
This genre contains the “Auto Format Decoding” sound
mode which presents the sound exactly as it was encoded,
without adding any reverberation (etc.).

To fully enjoy surround sound, you must register the
number and location of you speakers. See “Multi-Channel
Surround setup” starting on page 14 to set the speaker
parameters before enjoying surround sound.
