Welcome to the world of the quadraphonic four-channel stereo
sound. Stereo Quadraphonic Sound (hereinafter called "SO"
for short) adds depth to stereophonic sound because the sound
is reproduced over four widely-separated speakers, giving an
impression of "surround-sound". With 50 sound, a symphony
orchestra is not only displayed over the two front speakers as
in conventional stereo. but its reverberant sounds are provided
over back speakers, bringing actual concert-hall presence to the
listenert Also with this So system individual performers can be
recorded to create new musical effects with the listener being
completely enveloped by 360° sound ; or, a performer can freely
move around as in theatre or show recordingseleft, right, front
or back.

Quadraphonic sound reproduction is now possible with your
present high fidelity music system by using the SONY Decoder/
Amplifier Model SQA-ZOO (which has an amplifier and also two
output connectors for the back speakers) and two additional back
speakers When playing 4-channel 50 records, the special
decoder in the SOA-ZOO provides reproduction of the original
program on four separate channels. With the SOA-ZOO you can
play SO records on a conventional stereophonic player, and record
and play back the SQ sound on a two-channel tape recorders
Conventional stereophonic programs become more dynamic with
outstanding front-channel separation and back-channel separa-
tion, and accurate positioning of each musical instrument.

Before operating your SQA-ZOO, we suggest you read these
instructions carefully and in the proper sequence. so that you
can become familiar with the EDA-200s features and capa-
bilities, Keep this manual handy for future reference.
