338 30 (Sound Retrieval System 3-Dimensianl stereo experience

The sound retrieval system is a signal processing system that
produces a three dimensional sound stage. It does this by
applying the most suitable processing to the sound signal on
the basis of the human listening patterns. This permits real
depth and a wide sound stage which is considered difficult to
achieve with conventional 2 channel stereo. The "SRS" effect
can be obtained from any stereo source i.e.; CD, Tape, Stereo
Broadcast etc, the "SR8" effect can also be applied to

recordings.

Please switch 0" SRS 30 sound lield elfects when listening
to a tape recorded with sound field ellects 0N.
