Special features
DOLBY PRO LOGIC & DOLBY 3 STEREO
The surround system reproduces video software programs carrying the D{)[basvsumouno] mark with similar acoustic effects to movie
theaters.
The DOLBY PRO LOGIC mode controls the audio signals of the Front Left/Right, Center and Rear surround channels using the built-in
directivity enhancer circuit to reproduce the feeling of sound motions very realistically.
The DOLBY 3 STEREO mode can reproduce the motions of sound even when only the front and center speakers are used, by providing proper
acoustic position using the directivity enhancer circuit.
SRS 3D §
The SRS (Sound Retrieval System) is an innovative system simulating a 3-dimensional sound space, which features clearly improved
feelings of depth, sound field extension and acoustic image positioning as well as a widened listening area.
RDS (Radio Data System)
The RDS makes it possible to search stations according to their programme types (PTY search) so the tuner can receive a station of the
selected kind automatically when the station starts broadcasting and returns to the previous station when it completes broadcasting (EON
reservation). The RDS also displays information such as the PS (Programme Service name), RT (Radio Text) and CT (Clock Time).
