SURROUND SOUND
Surround sound gives you a complete new listening sensation.
You will have the feeling of being in the middle of the action,
because sound is coming from everywhere around you. Look
out for TV broadcasts, audio and video tapes and discs with
the 5 or 1 marks which are encoded for
multichannel surround sound.
Notice that DVDs do not always carry full multichannel
surround. To be sure that a disc is multichannel encoded
consult your dealer.
Most ordinary stereo tapes and discs can be replayed using
surround sound settings with good results. If the reproduction
is distorted in surround mode, switch to normal stereo mode.
The availabilty of the various surround sound modes described
depends on the number of speakers used and the incoming
sound information.
With surround sound on, you can switch through the different
surround modes. Note that the possibilities are related to
speaker setup defined in the receivers menu.
