3. Zone 2 With zone 2 it is possible to redirect the sound to other audio systems, e.g. placed in kitchen or bedrooms. The zone 2 has separate volume control and input selector. Adjustments for zone 2 are achieved by holding down the same input knob as currently selected. E.g. when DVD input is selected, hold down the “DVD” knob on remote or frontpanel, approx. 1 sec. Then the ZONE2 indicator becomes active. Possible inputs are: SAT ANLG TV ANLG LD ANLG TAPE1 ANLG Z1 -> Z2

The user may still prefer to change delays during playback of a movie, based on subjective preference in a specific movie. Hence the delay can also be set “on the fly”. The intermediate delay settings will return to the default settings stored in the memory banks when the PR350 B is set into standby or powered off. 5. Surround Modes The actual surround mode of the PR350 B is always indicated in the display: Possible input types: - Stereo analogue input, PCM or Dolby Digital 2.0 bi

DTS 6.1 Compatible: This DTS mode is actually identical to DTS ES 6.1 Matrix as described above, but by enabling this mode the user choose always to activate the matrix process on the SL and SR to generate the SC channel. DTS 6.1 Compatible will work on Dolby Digital 5.1 streams, too. Try out e.g. the “Black Hawk Down” disc. If the installation contains three surround channels, 6.1 Compatible will improve the surround experience on nearly all 5.1 encoded music and movie CD/DVD disc’s. Als

An analogue or PCM input stream contains no information about the surround mode, therefore STEREO is selected as default, if ProLogic II is not selected under the config.ProLogic II menu. By pushing the “SURROUND MODE” key for more than one second or “STATUS” on the remote control, information about received bitstream will be displayed, e.g. PCM. The PR350 B can receive PCM inputs with sampling rates from 32kHz up to 96kHz. For analogue inputs going through the DSP, PCM will also

If the L and R speakers are not so well suited for the lowest frequencies, then chose a), eventually with lowest 60Hz cross over frequency. Further the Subwoofer – max bass ON can be selected in the Dolby Digital and DTS mode if extra bass is required. The Subwoofer – max bass setting will be stored in the memory bank and can therefore be set individual
