ENGLISH 11 DSP SURROUND SIMULATION • The AVR-3802 is equipped with a high performance DSP (Digital Signal Processor) which uses digital signal processing to synthetically recreate the sound field. One of seven preset surround modes can be selected according to the program source and the parameters can be adjusted according to the conditions in the listening room to achieve a more realistic, powerful sound. These surround modes can also be used for program sources not recorded in Dolby Surround Pro Logic or Dolby Digital. Surround modes and their features 1 WIDE SCREEN 2 ROCK ARENA 3 JAZZ CLUB Select this to achieve an atmosphere like that of a movie theater with a large screen. In this mode, all signal sources are played in the 7.1-channel mode, including Dolby Pro Logic and Dolby Digital 5.1-channel sources. Effects simulating the multi surround speakers of movie theaters are added to the surround channels. Use this mode to achieve the feeling of a live concert in an arena with reflected sounds coming from all directions. This mode creates the sound field of a live house with a low ceiling and hard walls. This mode gives jazz a very vivid realism. DSP surround simulation • To operate the surround mode and surround parameters from the remote control unit. 1 Select the surround mode for the input channel. DOLBY/DTS SURROUND SURROUND DSP SIMU. 5CH / 7CH STEREO 6.1 / 7.1 SURROUND DIRECT STEREO (Remote control unit) The surround mode switches in the following order each time the DSP SIMULATION button is pressed: WIDE SCREEN MONO MOVIE ROCK ARENA MATRIX VIDEO GAME JAZZ CLUB 2, 4 3 1 C S/C DISPLAY SURR.

Select this to emphasize the sense of expansion for music sources recorded in stereo. Signals consisting of the difference component of the input signals (the component that provides the sense of expansion) processed for delay are output from the surround channel. 2 SURR. PARA. Display the surround parameter screen on the monitor. The screen for the selected surround mode appears. (Remote control unit) 6 MONO MOVIE (NOTE 1) Select this when watching monaural movies for a greater sense of expansion. In this mode, the signals of the front left channel are output from the left surround channel, the signals of the front right channel are output from the right surround channel, and the same (in7 5CH/7CH STEREO phase) component of the left and right channels is output from the center channel. This mode provides all speaker surround sound, but without directional steering effects, and works with any stereo program source. Depending on the program source being played, the effect may not be very noticeable. In this case, try other surround modes, without worrying about their names, to create a sound field suited to your tastes. NOTE 1: When playing sources recorded in monaural, the sound will be one-sided if signals are only input to one channel (left or right), so input signals to both channels. If you have a source component with only one audio output (monophonic camcorder, etc.) obtain a "Y" adaptor cable to split the mono output to two outputs, and connect to the L and R inputs. NOTE: Only the DIRECT and 5CH/7CH STEREO modes can be used when playing PCM signals with a sampling frequency of 96 kHz (such as from DVD-Video discs that contain 24 bit, 96 kHz audio). If such signals are input during playback in one of the other surround modes, the mode automatically switches to DIRECT. Personal Memory Plus This set is equipped with a personal memorize function that automatically memorizes the surround modes and input modes selected for the input different sources. When the input source is switched, the modes set for that source last time it was used are automatically recalled. The surround parameters, tone control settings and playback level balance for the different output channels are memorized for each surround mode. 3 TUNING BAND MODE TUNING TUNING BAND MODE TUNING Set the parameters. (Remote control unit) 4 SURR. PARA. To end the setting mode, press the surround parameter button again. (Remote control unit) NOTES: • The surround speaker setting can also be changed with the SPEAKER button on the remote control unit. • When "Default" is selected and the F courser button is pressed, "CINEMA EQ." and "D.COMP." are automatically turned off, "ROOM SIZE" is set to "medium", "EFFECT LEVEL" to "10", "DELAY TIME" to "30ms" and "LFE" to "0 dB". • The "ROOM SIZE" expresses the expansion effect for the different surround modes in terms of the size of the sound field, not the actual size of the listening room. 30
