STAV-3370 Digital Synthesized Stereo
(310-3032)        Using Advanced Sound Options        Faxback Doc. # 31169

Your receiver has four special sound options: Dolby Pro-Logic Surround,
Dolby 3CH Logic, Studio-Effect Surround, and Simulated Surround.  These
special options enhance a program source.

NOTES:  To get the full benefit from programs encoded with Dolby Surround
        Sound, you need a stereo VCR.

        Dolby Surround does not operate correctly if the signal passes
        through a graphic equalizer to the TAPE 2 MONITOR jacks, do not
        select TAPE 2 MONITOR when you listen to Dolby Surround signals.

To activate Dolby Pro-Logic Surround or Dolby 3CH Logic, press its button.
For studio effect, simulated surround, or arena effect, press SFC MODE
until the desired option appears on the display.  On the remote control,
press 3CH LOGIC to select Dolby 3CH Logic Sound and use SURR MODE for
other sound options.

DOLBY PRO-LOGIC SURROUND

Dolby Pro-Logic Surround puts you in the middle of the action.  The center-
and rear-channel speakers add incredible realism by directing the sound to
the appropriate speakers, making you feel like you are really there.  You
can find hundreds of movies, television shows, and compact disc produced
with Dolby Surround.

DOLBY 3CH LOGIC

Dolby 3CH Logic produces a more spacious sound field than is possible with
ordinary stereo playback by combining the front and rear speaker sounds.
Select this mode when you play a Dolby Surround Sound program and do not
have rear speakers.  The rear channel's sound is sent to the front left and
right speakers.

STUDIO EFFECT

Studio Effect gives the effect of listening in a recording studio.  The
front speakers provide normal stereo, and the rear speakers provide a
subtly reverberated sound.  Select this mode when you listen to source
not encoded with Dolby Surround.

SIMULATED SOUND

Simulated Surround simulates a surround effect when you listen to a
monaural (mono) source.

SOUND MODE ADJUSTMENTS (Remote Control Only)

CENTER MODE SETTING

The center mode setting affects the center channel's bass signal.  It
operates only when you select the Dolby Pro-Logic Surround or Dolby 3CH
Logic mode.  Slide AUDIO VCR on the remote control to AUDIO.  Each time you
press CENTER MODE on the remote control, the setting changes, and the
receiver's corresponding indicator lights: NORMAL - MODE - PHANTOM for
Dolby Pro-Logic Surround : NORMAL - WIDE for Dolby 3 CH Logic.

NOTES:  If you do not use a center speaker, the monaural signals are only
        reproduced if you select PHANTOM.

        You cannot select PHANTOM in the Dolby 3CH Logic Sound mode.

NORMAL - Select this mode if you use a small center speaker.  The front
         left and right speakers play the center-channel bass sounds.

WIDE - Select this mode if you use a medium or large center speaker.
       The center speaker plays the center channel bass sounds.

PHANTOM - Select this mode if you have no center speaker.  All center-
          channel sound comes from the front left and right speakers.

TEST TONE

The test tone feature provides a test tone that lets you balance the signal
level between all your speakers.  See "Center Level" and "Rear Level."

To activate the test tone, select one of the surround sound modes and set
AUDIO/VCR on the remote to VCR.  Then press TEST TONE.  The receiver sounds
a 2-sound tone from the front left, center, front right, and rear speakers,
in sequence.  The center test tone sounds only when you select the Dolby
Pro-Logic Surround or Dolby 3 CH Logic Sound mode.

In the Dolby 3CH Logic Sound mode, the receiver sounds a 2-second tone
from the left, center, and right speakers, in sequence.

Press TEST TONE again to turn off this feature.

CENTER LEVEL

Slide AUDIO VCR to AUDIO.  Then press - CENTER + to adjust the center
speaker sound level while in the Dolby Pro-Logic Surround or Dolby 3CH
Logic mode.

REAR LEVEL

Slide AUDIO VCR to VCR.  Then press - REAR + to set the rear speakers'
sound level while in the Dolby Pro-Logic Surround or Simulated Surround
mode.

NOTES:  Use the VOLUME control to adjust the overall sound level.

        Set the center mode to a selection other than PHANTOM before
        adjusting the center level.

DELAY TIME

In the Simulated Surround and Dolby Pro-Logic Surround modes, the receiver
slightly delays the sound going to the rear speakers.  You can change the
delay time from 16 to 30 milliseconds (ms) in 2 ms steps.  Adjust this
for the best surround effect.

Slide AUDIO VCR to VCR.  Then press and hold DELAY TIME to change the delay
time.  The receiver displays the selected time.

NOTES:  For Dolby Pro-Logic Surround, the delay is preset to 20 mS.

        The delay time does not affect the Studio Effect mode.
