DOLBY SURROUND AND DTS SURROUND

This unit is equipped with the Dolby Pro Logic decoder, Dolby Digital decoder and DTS decoder.

The unit and the center and surround speakers (standard) assure full-scale home theater sound. When playing back discs or video software that have been recorded in Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Digital surround or DTS surround, astonishingly realistic sound surrounds the listener to create a new level of audio/visual entertainment.

Independent control of the five channels allows the listener to enjoy the same type of sound reproduction experienced in movie theaters. Voices are reproduced in the front and center sound field, while ambient sounds like cars and crowds are reproduced on all sides of the listener for an incredibly lifelike audio/video experience. Please read the following carefully to "tune" the system's output to match the characteristics of your listening space.

Check the following:

• Before enjoying the DOLBY surround sound or DTS surround sound, adjust the speaker sound levels to the proper balance (see page 16).
• Make sure the speakers are properly connected and positioned (see pages 4 and 5).
• Make sure the TV set and video unit are properly connected (see page 3).
• Make sure the disc and video tape, etc., support Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Digital surround or DTS surround.

The optimal Dolby Digital surround and Dolby Pro Logic modes and settings depend on the type and placement of the speakers. It is recommended that the optional AIWA speakers should be used for all channels, for example, the SX-AVR2900 speaker system.

Check the current type and placement of your speakers and select the recommended mode accordingly.
