Ambience effects This receiver is equipped with listening modes that allow you to enjoy an enhanced sonic ambience with a variety of video sources. In order to obtain the optimum effect from the surround modes, make sure to input the proper speaker settings beforehand. * Surround modes L R (Front speakers) C (Center speaker) SW (Subwoofer) LS RS (Surround speakers) BS or LB RB (Surround back speakers) Dolby Digital EX Dolby Digital EX is an extension of Dolby Digital technology, Dolby Digital EX creates six full-bandwidth output channels from 6.1-channel sources. This is done using a matrix decoder that derives three surround channels from the two in the original recording. This is achieved by using three different surround signals, Left Surround , Right Surround, and Back Surround, each driving its own array of speakers. Think of it as adding a center channel for the rear speakers, which give more diffuse and natural surround effect, even if you wanted the ability to completely encircle the audience with sound, positioning sound effects exactly where they would be heard in real life. Note For best results, Dolby Digital EX should be used with movie soundtracks recorded with Dolby Digital Surround EX which contain a digital flag that will automatically activate this feature. However, for titles released prior to late 2001, this feature has to be activated manually. This model lets you enjoy Dolby Digital (and Dolby Surround) program sources, even if you connect only the Front Speakers. However, in order to enjoy the benefit of true 6.1 channel Dolby Digital Surround EX sound, KENWOOD recommends that you connect a full set of speakers. C L SW LS LB R RS RB Dolby PRO LOGIC IIx/ Dolby PRO LOGIC II Dolby Pro Logic IIx was designed specifically to provide a new sense of spatiality, directionality and articulation of sounds from Dolby Surround encoded sources. This is achieved with an intelligent, built-in feedback logic design, a matrix surround decoding and the decoding of stereo, full bandwidth surround outputs. The PRO LOGIC IIx modes programmed into this receiver are "MOVIE", "MUSIC" and "GAME". The "MOVIE" mode of the PRO LOGIC IIx has preset characteristics to produce a calibrated, high-level surround sound playback while the "MUSIC" mode has user-adjustable characteristics to offer the three optional controls, like "Dimension", "Center Width" and "Panorama" modes to allow optimization of the soundfields as desired. The "Dimension" control allows the user to gradually adjust the soundfield either towards the front or towards the rear; the "Center Width" control allows various adjustment of the left-center-right speakers' balance; the "Panorama" mode extends the front stereo image to include the surround speakers for an exciting "wraparound" effect with side wall imaging. The "GAME" mode is designed for playing video games and enhances the powerful feeling of sound. Dolby PRO LOGIC IIx C L SW LS LB R RS RB Dolby PRO LOGIC II C L SW LS R RS Dolby Digital Dolby Digital surround format lets you enjoy up to 5.1 channels of digital surround sound from Dolby Digital program sources (such as Laserdisc or DVD software marked ). Compared with previous Dolby surround, Dolby Digital provides even better sound quality, greater spatial accuracy, and improved dynamic range. This model lets you enjoy Dolby Digital (and Dolby Surround) program sources, even if you connect only the Front Speakers. However, in order to enjoy the benefit of true 5.1 channel Dolby Digital surround sound, KENWOOD recommends that you connect a full set of speakers. C L R SW LS RS 31 EN
