The surround processes already described require pro gramme material which is encoded using the appropriate system but the SR 1535 R also offers a facility to en hance the spatial effect available with conventional u nencoded stereo recordings CD MC FM radio etc These sound field simulations are based on an accu rate analysis of the room acoustics of a number of popular room and hall types The digital signal processor of your decoder is capable of simulating and reproducing the characteristic sound of these venues For example if you select the HALL setting while wat ching a rock concert on television you will have the illusion of sitting in the middle of the audience Please note that it is important to set the sound field which is appropriate for the material to which you are currently listening It makes no sense at all to select a sports stadium if you intend listening to a concert of chamber music or an intimate club atmosphere for a rock concert 65 This sound field is particularly suitable for providing an even spread of sound over a dance area The sound signal is reproduced with equal power by the main and surround loudspeakers without echo or delay The strongly concentrated sound produced in this way gene rates an immediate energy charged atmosphere which is a great choice for any party Note With the Dolby Digital EX DTS ES decoder the signal is also reproduced by the centre and back speaker
