True home theater sound

DSP surround modes

This model incorporates a wide variety of surround modes to bring you

maximum enjoyment from your video software. Select a surround mode

according to your equipment or the software you are going to play and

The DSP (Digital Signal Processor) used for this model incorporates a

variety of high quality adjustable sound fields, like “ARENA”, “JAZZ

CLUB”, “THEATER”, “STADIUM” and “DISCO”. It is compatible with

almost any kind of program source.

enjoy!

Dolby Digital and Dolby Digital EX

DVD 6-channel input

The Dolby Digital mode lets you enjoy full digital surround from software

processed in the Dolby Digital format. Dolby Digital provides up to 5.1

channels of independent digital audio for better sound quality and more

powerful presence than conventional Dolby Surround. As for Dolby

Digital EX, it creates six full-bandwidth output channels from the 5.1

channel sources. This is done using a matrix decoder that derives three

surround channels from the two in the original recording. For best result,

Dolby Digital EX should be used with movie soundtracks recorded with

Dolby Digital Surround EX.

If you own a DVD player equipped with 6-channel output, this model

allows you to obtain the full surround sound impact of DVD source

material featuring multi-channel encoding. Since the source signals are

digital and each channel is input independently, the resulting ambience

is far superior to what can be achieved with conventional surround sound

systems.

ACTIVE EQ

ACTIVE EQ mode will produce a more dynamic sound quality in any

condition. You can enjoy a more impressive sound effect when ACTIVE

EQ is turned on.

Dolby Pro Logic IIX and Dolby Pro Logic II

Dolby Pro Logic II, whilst totally compatible with its predecessor Pro

Logic, provides greater advantages in surround sound. It allows user

to enjoy the conventional stereo or Dolby Surround with a convincing

“5.1 like” presentation. Pro Logic II offers special features for

controlling the overall spatial, dimensionality and frontal sound field

imaging. ProLogicIIproducesanimpressivesurroundsoundfromvideo

Dolby Pro Logic IIx enhanced Dolby Pro Logic II’s features.

It creates 6.1 channel and 7.1 channel surround sound from stereo or 5.1

channel signals. This feature provides you an astonishing ambience

effect which makes you feel you are surrounded by natural sound.

Especially 7.1 channel surround sound can produce real back sound from

Surround Back speakers.

DTS and DTS-ES

DTS (Digital Theater System) is a 5.1 channel digital audio format that

provides five full-spectrum channels and one low-frequency (subwoofer)

channel for unprecedented clarity, optimum channel separation and a

(wide) dynamic range.

DTS-ES (Extended Surround) presents 6.1 channels surround system

with additional Surround back channel which evolved from the

conventional 5.1 channels surround system. DTS-ES format that was

recorded in DVD, CD or LD comprises of two modes. DTS-ES Discrete

Important:

When a DTS disc is played on a CD, LD or DVD player, noise may be

output from the analog output. It is recommended that you connect the

digital output of the player to the digital input of this unit.

Neo:6

Neo:6 is a new technology which was developed by DTS. It can produce

high grade 6 channels surround with an astonishing fidelity from 2

channels content. Neo:6 has 2 modes, “CINEMA” mode is for movie

playback and “MUSIC” mode is for music playback.

for digital audio input and analog audio input.

After completing connections and turning on this model, follow the

steps below.

LISTEN MODE

INPUT SELECTOR

Notes

1. Be sure to insert all connection cords securely. If their connections are

imperfect, the sound may not be produced or there will be noise

interference.

The Dolby Digital surround format lets you enjoy up to 5.1 channels

of digital surround sound from Dolby Digital program sources (such

DTS-ES (Digital Theater System-Extended Surround) presents 6.1

channels surround system with additional Surround Back channel

which evolved from the conventional 5.1 channels surround system.

DTS-ES format that was recorded in DVD, CD or LD comprises of two

modes. DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 produces the discrete surround back

which is completely independent and DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 produces

thesurroundbackwhichsynthesisedwithintheleftandrightsurround

channels using matrix technology. DTS-ES has perfect compatibility

with the conventional 5.1 channels surround system. 6.1 channels

surround with an additional surround back presents a more natural

presence and surround effects by increasing the impression of the

sound image from back. Programs which are recorded using DTS-ES

technology consist of information flags which will be able to control

the Discrete and Matrix mode. Thus, it can automatically select the

best matched mode.

as Laserdisc or DVD software marked

previous Dolby surround, Dolby Digital provides even better sound

quality, greater spatial accuracy, and improved dynamic range.

). Compared with

Although a full set of speakers (front left, right, and center, surround

left and right, and a subwoofer) is required for true 5.1 channel Dolby

Digital surround sound, this model lets you enjoy Dolby Digital (and

Dolby Surround) program sources, even if you connect only the front

speakers.

Dolby Digital EX

Dolby Digital EX is an extension of Dolby Digital technology, Dolby

Digital EX creates six full-bandwidth output channels from 6.1-

channel sources. This is done using a matrix decoder that derives

three surround channels from the two in the original recording.

This is achieved by using three different surround signals, surround

left, surround right, and surround back, each driving its own array of

speakers. Think of it as adding a center channel for the rear speakers,

which give more diffuse and natural surround effect, even if you

wanted the ability to completely encircle the audience with sound,

positioning sound effects exactly where they would be heard in real

life. For best results, Dolby Digital EX should be used with movie

soundtracks recorded with Dolby Digital Surround EX which contain

a digital flag that will automatically activate this feature. However, for

titles released prior to late 2001, this feature has to be activated

manually.

Neo:6

Neo:6 is a new technology which was developed by DTS. It can

produce high grade 6 channels surround with an astonishing fidelity

from 2 channels content. Neo:6 has 2 modes, “CINEMA” mode is for

movie playback and “MUSIC” mode is for music playback.

DTS has a “.1” or LFE channel.

The indication “LFE” appears in the display when a signal is being

input for this channel.

DTS

The DTS multi-channel audio format is available on CD, LD and DVD

software. DTS is a strictly digital format and cannot be decoded

inside most CD, LD or DVD players. For this reason, if you attempt

to listen to DTS encoded software through the analog output of your

new CD, LD or DVD player, you will experience digital noise in most

cases. This noise can be quite loud if the analog output is connected

directly to a high power amplification system. Proper measures for

playing the digital output as described below should be taken to

avoid this situation. To enjoy DTS Digital Surround playback, an

external 5.1 channel DTS Digital Surround decoder system or an

amplifier with a built-in DTS Digital Surround decoder must be

connected to the digital output (S/P DIF, AES/EBU or TosLink) of a

CD, LD or DVD player.

Although a full set of speakers (front left, right, and center, surround

left and right, surround back and a subwoofer) is required for true 6.1

channel Dolby Digital Surround EX sound, this model lets you enjoy

Dolby Digital (and Dolby Surround) program sources, even if you

connect only the front speakers.

Although only Dolby Digital soundtracks incorporate a separate low

frequency channel, connecting a subwoofer will also improve deep

bass performance in the other surround modes.

Dolby Digital has a “.1” or LFE channel.

The indication “LFE” appears in the display when a signal is being

input for this channel.

Dolby Pro Logic II^Xand Dolby Pro Logic II

Dolby Pro Logic II was designed specifically to provide a new sense

of spatiality, directionality and articulation of sounds from Dolby

Surround encoded sources (such as video and Laserdisc software

marked

). This is achieved with an intelligent, built-in

DSP mode

feedback logic design, a matrix surround decoding and the decoding

of stereo, full bandwidth surround outputs.

The DSP mode lets you add the atmosphere of a live concert or hall

to almost any type of program source. These modes are particularly

effectivewhenusedwithstereoprogramsources, likeCD, television,

and FM radio. You might enjoy trying the ARENA, JAZZ CLUB,

THEATER, STADIUM or DISCO mode the next time you watch a

concert or sporting event!

Dolby Pro Logic IIx enhanced Dolby Pro Logic II’s features.

It creates 6.1 channel and 7.1 channel surround sound from stereo or

5.1channelsignals.Thisfeatureprovidesyouanastonishingambience

effect which makes you feel you are surrounded by natural sound.

Especially 7.1 channel surround sound can produce real back sound

from Surround Back speakers.

What's DSP?

DSP stands for Digital Signal Processor.

The Pro Logic IIx modes programmed into this model are “MOVIE”,

“MUSIC” and “GAME”. The Pro Logic II modes programmed into

this model are “MOVIE”, “MUSIC”, “GAME” and “PRO LOGIC”.

The“MOVIE”modehaspresetcharacteristicstoproduceacalibrated,

high-level surround sound playback while the “MUSIC” mode has

user-adjustable characteristics to offer the three optional controls,

like “Dimension”, “Center Width” and “Panorama” modes to allow

optimization of the soundfields as desired. The “Dimension” control

allows the user to gradually adjust the soundfield either towards the

front or towards the rear; the “Center Width” control allows various

adjustmentoftheleft-center-rightspeakers’balance;the“Panorama”

modeextendsthefrontstereoimagetoincludethesurroundspeakers

for an exciting “wraparound” effect with side wall imaging.

The “GAME” mode provides surrounded and exciting sound when

you enjoy game or TV. Especially in Pro Logic IIx “GAME” mode,

base sound not only from Front and Center but also from Surround

channel is added to Subwoofer. This provides even more dynamic

surround effects.

The way a sound is heard in an actual environment depends on a

varietyofdifferentfactors. Oneofthemostimportantisreverberation

(the act of decaying elements of sound echoing in various places).

The DSP modes produce the feeling of presence by using the DSP to

create reverberation, without spoiling the sound quality of the original

signal.

DVD 6-channel mode

Using a DVD player or the like equipped with six (5.1) output channels

and this model, you can enjoy multi-channel encoded DVD source

material in all its splendor. Since the source signals are digital and

each channel is input independently, the resulting sound quality,

sense of spaciousness, and dynamic range are superb.

The indication “6CH INPUT” appears in the display during DVD 6-

channel mode selection.
