ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Optimum surround sound for different sources
There are currently various types of multi-channel signals (signals or formats with more than two channels).
2 Types of multi-channel signals
Dolby Digital (EX), Dolby Pro Logic, DTS (ES), high definition 3-1 signals (Japan MUSE Hi-Vision audio), DVD-
Audio, SACD (Super Audio CD), MPEG multi-channel audio, etc.
"Source" here does not refer to the type of signal (format) but the recorded content. Sources can be divided
Page
into two major categories.

Types of sources
• Movie audio Signals created to be played in movie theaters. In general sound is recorded to be played
in movie theaters equipped with multiple surround speakers, regardless of the format

These two types of sources thus have different properties, and different speaker settings, particularly for the
surround speakers, are required in order to achieve the ideal sound.

In this case the speakers should surround the listener from all sides to
create a uniform sound field from 360°. Ideally the surround speakers
should function as "point" sound sources in the same way as the front
speakers.
