DENON original surround modes
The AVR-4306 is equipped with a high performance DSP (Digital Signal Processor) which uses digital signal processing to synthetically
recreate the sound field. One of ten preset surround modes can be selected according to the program source and the parameters can
be adjusted according to the conditions in the listening room to achieve a more realistic, powerful sound.
Surround modes and their features
Select this to achieve an atmosphere like that of a movie theater with a large screen. In this mode, all signal
sources are played in the 7.1-channel mode, including Dolby Surround and Dolby Digital 5.1-channel
sources. Effects simulating the multi surround speakers of movie theaters are added to the surround
channels.
Select this when watching baseball or soccer programs to achieve a sound as if you were actually at the
stadium. This mode provides the longest reverberation signals.
Use this mode to achieve the feeling of a live concert in an arena with reflected sounds coming from all
directions.
This mode creates the sound field of a live house with a low ceiling and hard walls. This mode gives jazz
a very vivid realism.
Use this to enjoy video game sources.
Select this for the sound of a concert hall rich in reverberations.
Select this when watching monaural movies for a greater sense of expansion.
Select this to emphasize the sense of expansion for music sources recorded in stereo. Signals consisting
of the component difference of the input signals (the component that provides the sense of expansion)
processed for delay are output from the surround channel.
Select this mode to enjoy a virtual sound field, produced from the front 2-channel speakers or headphones.

The front left channel signals are output to the surround and surround back left channels, the front right
channel signals are output to the surround and surround back right channels, and the in-phase component
of the left and right channels is output to the center channel. Use this mode to enjoy stereo sound.

NOTE: When playing sources recorded in monaural, the sound will be one-sided if signals are only input to one channel (left or right),
so input signals to both channels. If you have a source component with only one audio output (monophonic camcorder, etc.)
obtain a “Y” adapter cable to split the mono output to two outputs, and connect to the L and R inputs.
Depending on the program source being played, the effect may not be very noticeable.
In this case, try other surround modes, without worrying about their names, to create a sound field suited to your tastes.
2 Personal memory plus
This set is equipped with a personal memorize function that automatically memorizes the surround modes and input modes selected for
the different sources. When the input source is switched, the modes set for that source last time it was used are automatically recalled.
The surround parameters, tone control settings and playback level balance for the different output channels are memorized for
each surround mode.
2 Calling the settings out
Press the USER MODE button at which the settings
you want to call out are stored.
• The indicator for the selected USER MODE button lights.
In this case, press the button and hold it in until the indicator
of the selected USER MODE button lights.
Memory and call-out functions (USER MODE
function)
• The AVR-4306 is equipped with a function for storing the
selected input source, the auto surround mode and input mode
in the memory and selecting these settings when you want to
use them.
• Three patterns of settings can be stored in the memory
pressing the USER MODE buttons.

The following are stored in the memory:

2 Storing the settings in the memory
Press and hold the USER MODE button for at
least three seconds which you want to store the
settings.
In this case, press the button and hold it in until the indicator
of the selected USER MODE button lights.
