The surround system reproducus eideo software programs carrying the I'1r1[_ mark with similar acoustic effects to movie

theaters.

The DOIJ_Y PRO LOGIC mode controls the audio signals of the Front Left/Rigid, Center and Rear surround channels using the built-in

diroctivity enhancer cercuit to reproduce the feeling of sound motions very realistically.

TheDOLBY3 STEREO mode can reproduce the motions ofsoundeven when oulythu frontand center speakers are used,byproviding proper

acoustic position using the diroctivity enhancer circuit,

SRS 3D Stereo .........

The SRS (Sound Retrieval System) is an innovative system simulating a 3-dimensioual sound space, which features clearly improved

feelings of depth, sound field extension and acoustic image positioning as well as e widened listening area.
