Introduction to home theater
You are probably used to using stereo equipment to listen to music, but may not be used to home
theater systems that give you many more options (such as surround sound) when listening to
soundtracks.
Home theater refers to the use of multiple audio tracks to create a surround sound effect, making
you feel like you're in the middle of the action or concert. The surround sound you get from a home
theater system depends not only on the speakers you have set up in your room, but also on the
source and the sound settings of the receiver.
DVD-Video has become the basic source material for home theater due to its size, quality, and
ease of use. Depending on the DVD, you can have up to seven different audio tracks coming from
one disc, all of them being sent to different speakers in your system. This is what creates a
surround sound effect and gives you the feeling of ‘being there’.
This receiver will automatically decode Dolby Digital, DTS, or Dolby Surround DVD-Video discs,
according to your speaker setup. In most cases, you won’t have to make changes for realistic
surround sound, but other possibilities (like listening to a CD with multichannel surround sound)
are explained in
