Dolby Surround
(1} Dolby Digital (DoIby Surround AC-3)
Dolby Digital s the multi-channel digital signal format developed by Dolby Laboratories
Dolby D gital consists of up to "51" channels _ front left, front right, center, surround left, surround right,
and an add tional channel exclusively reserved for additional deep bass sound effects (the Low Frequency
Effects - LFE - channel, also called the "t " channel, containing bass frequencies of up to 120 Hz)
Unlike the analog Dolby Pro Logc format, Dolby Digi[al's main channels can all contain full range sound
information, from the lowest bass, up to the highest frequencies - 22 kHz The signals within each channel
are d stinct from the others, allowing p_npoint sound hag ng, and Dolby Digital offers tremendous dynamic
range from the most powerful sound effects to the quietest, softest sounds, free from noise and distortion

of the LD player to the digital input iack
Please refeE to the instruction manual of the adapter when making connection
2 Some DVD digital outputs have the function of switching the Dolby Digital signal output method
between "bit stream" and "(conver_ to) PCM" When playing in Dolby Digital surround on the AVR-
3802, switch the DVD player's output mode to "bit stream" In some cases players are equipped with
both "bit stream + RCM" and "PCM only" digital outputs In this case connect the "bit stream + PCM r,
Jacks to the AVR-3802
(2) Dolby Pro Logic ]1
• Dolby Pro-Logic ]] is a new multFchannel playback format developed by Dolby Laboratories using
feedback logic steering technology and offering improvements over conventional Dolby Pro Logic circuits
• Dolby Pro Logic l] can be used to decode not only sources recorded in Dolby Surround (_) but also
regular stereo sources into five channels (front left, front rightr centel, surround left and surround right) to
achieve surround sound
• Whereas with conventional Dolby Pro Logc the surround channel playback frequency band was limited,
Dolby Pro Logic R offers a wider band range (2g Hz to 20 kHz or greater) In addition, the surround
channels were monaural (the surround left and right channels were the same) with previous Dolby Pro
Logic, but Dolby Pro Logc ]1 they are played as stereo signals
• Various parameters can be set according to the type of source and the contents, so it is possible to
achieve optimum decoding (see page 27)
Sources recorded in Dolby Surround
These are sources m which three or more channels of surround have been recorded as two channels of
signals using Dolby Surround encoding technology
Dolby Surround is used for the sound tracks of movies recorded on DVDs, LDs and video cassettes to
be played on stereo VCRs, as well as for the stereo broadcast signals of FM radio, TV, satellite broadcasts
and cable ]_/
Decodng these signals with Dolby Pro Logic makes t possible to achieve muki-channel surround
playback The signals can also be played on ordinary stereo equipment, in which case they provide
normal stereo sound
There are two types of DVD Dolby surround recording signals
,1 2-channe PCM stereo signals
,2; 2-channe Dolby Digtal signals
When either of these signals is input to the AVR-3802, the surround mode is automatically set to Dolby
Pro Logic ][ when the "DOLBY/DTS SURROUND" mode is selected
• Sources recorded in Dolby Surround are indicated with the logo mark shown below,
