Preparations 28 Setting up LISTEN mode Set Up functions DVT-6200 (EN/K,E,X) What are LISTEN modes? You can experience true home-theater sound with your new system. This system incorporates several listen modes to let you enjoy surround sound with a wide variety of program sources. Each produces multiple channels of surround-sound, but each does it differently. ● Dolby Digital: Dolby Digital uses an encode/decode process based on its theatrical digital surround sound technology. The five main channels are full-frequency and independent, so sound can completely envelop you or soar anywhere in the room, just like at the movies. Compared with Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Digital has more clarity, greater surround envelopment, and more realistic sound movement between channels. ● Dolby Pro Logic/Dolby Pro Logic II: Dolby Pro Logic reproduces a surround sound like in a movie theater from Dolby Surroundencoded program source (videotape or LaserDisc software carrying the Dolby Surround logo), and features excellent sound movement on the front and a surrounding atmosphere of movie theaters. Meanwhile, Dolby Pro Logic II decodes a signal encoded in 2 channels into 5-channel signals composed of the left/right front signals, center signal and surround left/right signals. Dolby Pro Logic II is an advanced version of the decoding technology used with Dolby Pro Logic. It inputs 2-channel signals from a Dolby Surround-encoded source and reproduces 5-channel signals in which the surround channel is divided into independent channels for the left and right. Dolby Pro Logic II has the MOVIE mode and MUSIC mode, and the MUSIC mode enables independent adjustment of three parameters including Panorama mode, Dimension and Center Width. ● DTS : DTS has five full-frequency channels that create effects nearly identical to those in a theater. Sounds seem to zoom from one place to another or entirely surround you. Like Dolby Digital, DTS has much-improved clarity, surround and sound movement capability compared with Dolby Pro Logic. This listen mode is available on CD, LD, and DVD media. DTS is a strictly digital format that can be supplied only by a CD, LD, or DVD player that supports DTS sound. ● Stereo: Stereo listen mode provides standard stereo sound to the front left and right speakers. Do not switch the LISTEN mode while recording to VCR. Note The INPUT/OUTPUT status indicator becomes an input indicator at the time of DOLBY DIGITAL and DTS source and an output indicator at all other times.
