2 SC-A3L
The quality of the sound produced from the speaker system is

affected by the size and type (Japanese or Western) of the room,
as well as by the method of installation. Consider the points
listed below before installing the speaker system.

• Note that placing the speaker system on the same stand or shelf as
a record player may result in howling.

• If there is a wall, glass door, etc., directly in front of or behind the
speaker system, cover the wall or door with a thick curtain to
prevent resonance and reflection.

• The SC-A3L speaker systems are of the low-leakage-flux type and
can be used near televisions, but depending on the TV there may
be color blotching on the picture. If this happens, turn off the TV’s
power, wait 15 to 30 minutes, then turn the TV’s power back on.
The TV’s automatic degaussing circuit should reduce the blotching
on the picture. If blotching persists, move the speaker further away.

•

When placing the satellite speaker system (SC-A3L) on a stand, etc.,
stick the included anti-slip pads (cork, approximately 2 mm thick) at the
four corners of the bottom surface. (Refer to the illustration below.)

• When mounting the satellite speaker system (SC-A3L) on a stand or
bracket, M5 nuts are inserted into the bottom of the satellite speaker
system (SC-A3L) at intervals of 60 mm. When mounting, following
the instructions in the manual included with the speaker stand or
ceiling mount bracket, and be sure to install properly and securely.

• When the satellite speaker system (SC-A3L) is mounted on a ceiling
mount bracket, it is turned upside down due to the installation
angle. The Denon mark is also turned upside down, so detach the
speaker net and reattach it in the opposite direction.

• The DSW-3L active subwoofer is a Lowleakage-Flux type speaker
system and can be used near televisions, but depending on the TV
there may be color blotching on the picture. If this happens, turn off
the TV’s power, move the TV and subwoofer a little apart, wait 15
to 30 minutes, then turn the TV’s power back on. The TV’s
automatic degaussing circuit should reduce the blotching on the
picture. If blotching persists, move the subwoofer and TV further
away from each other.

• Install on a firm, flat floor to prevent accidents due to toppling
down.

• Do not place a record player, CD player or other AV device on top of
the subwoofer.

FEATURES

The ADV-M51 combines an AV amplifier and DVD player, the core
components of a home theater system, into a single compact,
stylish body. The system takes up little space, and the aluminum
front panel and half mirror of the display make for an elegant
design that blends in nicely with the décor in your room.

1. 2-channel power amplifier with Dolby Virtual Speaker
compatibility

The ADV-M51 is equipped with two 35W (6 Ω/ohms 1kHz, T.H.D.
10%) power amplifiers that make it compatible with new Dolby
Virtual Speaker technology for recreating a 5.1-channel
environment virtually using a 2-channel configuration. (Dolby
Virtual Speaker is an proprietary technology of Dolby Laboratories.)
A high performance digital signal processor enables playback of
Dolby Digital and DTS multi-channel surround signals in the Dolby
Virtual Speaker mode. Surround sound can be achieved with the
Dolby Virtual Speaker mode for CDs and other 2-channel sources
in combination with the Dolby Pro Logic II decoder.

2. DENON’s unique sound field simulation using the DSP

The ADV-M51 is compatible with the Rock Arena, Jazz Club and
Video Game modes.

3. High performance DVD drive

The ADV-M51 is compatible with various functions offered by DVD
sources, including multiple audio (up to 8 languages), multiple
subtitle (up to 32 languages), multiple angle playback, viewing
restriction, etc.

4. Quick setup and on-screen display compatibility

DVDs can be enjoyed simply by selecting the TV and speaker
configuration to be used. The system can be set up using an on­screen display function.

5. Remote control unit with preset memory function

The ADV-M51 comes with a remote control unit equipped with a
preset memory function including the remote control operation
codes for D-M31 series MD recorders, cassette decks and
DENON remote control compatible components as well as the
remote control operation codes of other major brands of TVs and
video decks.

6. Convenient system functions

When system connections are made with a D-M31 series MD
recorder and cassette deck, such system functions as auto
function selection, synchronized recording and timer
recording/playback can be performed easily.

CAUTIONS ON HANDLING

• Switching the input function when input jacks are not connected

A clicking noise may be produced if the input function is switched when nothing is connected to the input jacks. If this happens, either turn
down the MASTER VOLUME control or connect components to the input jacks.

• Muting of PRE OUT jacks, HEADPHONE jack and SPEAKER terminals

The PRE OUT jacks, HEADPHONE jacks and SPEAKER terminals include a muting circuit. Because of this, the output signals are greatly reduced
for several seconds after the power switch is turned on or input function, surround mode or any other-set-up is changed. If the volume is turned
up during this time, the output will be very high after the muting circuit stops functioning. Always wait until the muting circuit turns off before
adjusting the volume.

• Whenever the power switch is in the STANDBY state, the apparatus is still connected on AC line voltage.

Please be sure to unplug the cord when you leave home for, say, a vacation.

(1) DVD SURROUND RECEIVER

2 SC-A3L

• Note that color blotching may occur on a TV, etc., due to interaction with the speaker system if there is a magnet or an object generating

magnetic force nearby.
Examples: (a) When there are magnets on the door of the rack, stand, etc.

(b) When a health device, etc., equipped with magnets is placed nearby.
(c) When toys or other objects using magnets are placed nearby.

• Note that the illustrations in this instructions may differ from the actual set for explanation purposes.

• Be sure to keep the operating instructions.

After reading these operating instructions, store them in a safe place. We also recommend filling in the necessary items on the back cover.

2 DSW-3L

• The built-in amplifier of the active subwoofer (DSW-3L) includes a muting circuit. The output signal is strongly attenuated for several seconds

after the power is turned on. If the volume is adjusted during this time, the output may be extremely high when the muting circuit is deactivated.
Be sure to wait for the muting circuit to be deactivated before adjusting the volume.

• Note that color blotching may occur on a TV, etc., due to interaction with the subwoofer if there is a magnet or an object generating magnetic

force nearby.
Examples: (a) When there are magnets on the door of the rack, stand, etc.

(b) When a health device, etc., equipped with magnets is placed nearby.
(c) When toys or other objects using magnets are placed nearby.

• Note that the illustrations in this instructions may differ from the actual set for explanation purposes.

• Be sure to keep the operating instructions.

After reading these operating instructions, store them in a safe place. We also recommend filling in the necessary items on the back cover.

(2) SPEAKER SYSTEM (D-M51DVS only)

WARNING:

• Be sure to fasten the power cord to a wall, etc., to prevent people from tripping over it or otherwise pulling on it accidentally, causing the
subwoofer to fall.

WARNING:

• When installing the speaker systems on the ceiling or wall, to ensure safety, have specialists do the installation work.

• Be sure to fasten the speaker cords to a wall, etc., to prevent people from tripping over them or otherwise pulling on them accidentally,
causing the speaker systems to fall.

• Be sure to check for safety after installing the speaker systems. Afterwards, perform safety inspections at regular intervals to be sure there
is no danger that the speaker systems will fall. Denon will accept no responsibility for damages or accidents caused by inappropriate choice
of the place of installation or improper installation procedures.

CAUTIONS ON HANDLING DISCS

Discs

Only the discs including the marks shown on page 6 can be played on
the ADV-M51.
Note, however, that discs with special shapes (heart-shaped discs,
hexagonal discs, etc.) cannot be played on the ADV-M51. Do not
attempt to play such discs, as they may damage the player.

Cautions on Handling Discs

• Do not get fingerprints, grease or dirt on discs.

• Be especially careful not to scratch discs when removing them
from their cases.

• Do not bend discs.

• Do not heat discs.

• Do not enlarge the center hole.

• Do not write on the labeled (printed) side with a ball-point pen or a
pencil.

• Water droplets may form on the surface if the disc is moved
suddenly from a cold place to a warm one. Do not use a hairdryer,
etc., to dry the disc.

Cautions on Storing Discs

• Always eject discs after playing them.

• Keep discs in their cases to protect them from dust, scratches and
warping.

• Do not put discs in the following places:

1. Places exposed to direct sunlight for long periods of time

2. Humid or dusty places

3. Places exposed to heat from heaters, etc.

Cautions on Loading Discs

• Only load one disc at a time. Loading one disc on top of another
may result in damage or scratch the discs.

• Load 8 cm discs securely in the disc guide, without using an
adapter. If the disc is not properly loaded, it may slip out of the
guide and block the disc tray.

• Be careful not to let your fingers get caught when the disc tray is
closing.

• Do not place anything but discs in the disc tray.

• Do not load cracked or warped discs or discs that have been fixed
with adhesive, etc.

• Do not use discs on which the adhesive part of cellophane tape or
glue used to attach the label is exposed, or discs with traces of tape
or labels that have been peeled off. Such discs may get stuck inside
the player, resulting in damage.

Holding Discs

Avoid touching the surface of discs when loading and unloading them.

Cleaning Discs

2

Fingerprints or dirt on the disc may lower sound and picture quality
or cause breaks in playback. Wipe off fingerprints or dirt.

2

CAUTION:

• Only one MD recorder and one cassette deck can be connected to the ADV-M51 using system connections. System operations cannot be
performed properly if two MD recorders or two cassette decks are connected using system connections.

• Whenever the power operation switch is in the STANDBY position, the unit is still connected to AC line voltage.

• Please be sure to unplug the power cord when you leave home for, e.g.,a vacation, etc.

System operations

Such system operations as the timer and the auto power on functions, as well
as remote control operations cannot be performed unless all the RCA pin-plug
cords and system connector cords are connected between the units, so be sure
to make all the connections properly as shown in the diagram. Also,
disconnecting system connectors while the system is operating may result in
malfunctions. Be sure to unplug the power cord before changing connections.

NOTES:

• Do not plug the power cord into the power outlet until all connections are
completed. Be sure to interconnect the channels (L to L (white) and R to
R (red)) properly, as shown on the diagram.

• Use the AC OUTLET for audio equipment only. Do not use them for hair
driers, etc.

• Insert the plugs securely. Incomplete connections may result in noise.

• Be sure to connect the speaker cords between the speaker terminals and

the speaker systems with the same polarities ( + to +, – to – ). If the
polarities are switched, the sound at the center will be weak, the position
of the different instruments will be unclear, and the stereo effect will be
lost.

• After unplugging the power cord, wait about 5 seconds before plugging it
back in.

• Note that setting the connection cords (pin-plug cords) next to the power
cords may result in humming or other noise.

2 About the LINE-1 and LINE-2 analog recording outputs

When the DVD or the D.AUX digital input is selected:

• Dolby Digital, DTS and PCM digital signals are automatically converted to 2-channel stereo signals before being output (except when in the
Dolby Headphone mode) and can be recorded in analog. (For what happens in the Dolby Headphone mode, see below.)

When TUNER, LINE-1 or LINE-2 is selected:

• The selected analog audio signals from the tuner or from the device connected to the LINE-1 or LINE-2 analog input terminals (IN) are output
unchanged, regardless of the ADV-M51’s input mode or surround mode. (The same is true for the device connected to the D.AUX terminals
when “LINE-2” under “⁄0 SETTING UP THE SYSTEM – (3) Detailed system setup – [6] Function settings” is set to “D.AUX”.)

Recording output during playback of a DVD or D.AUX digital input source in the Dolby Headphone mode:

• In the Dolby Headphone mode with a DVD or a digital input selected, the Dolby Headphone mode analog audio signals currently being played
are output and can be recorded in analog. (See pages 58 and 59.)

Cautions during analog recording of DVDs or digital input sources:

• Do not switch the ADV-M51’s input mode, surround mode or surround parameters during recording. Doing so will interrupt the sound being

recorded.
We recommend setting the surround mode to “STEREO” or “DIRECT”.

• When using headphones, recording is automatically performed in the Dolby Headphone mode. Do not disconnect the headphones or

switch the headphones mode during recording.

14

ENGLISH

• This unit is equipped with a high-speed protection circuit. The purpose of this circuit is to protect the speakers under circumstances such as
when the output of the power amplifier is inadvertently short-circuited and a large current flows, when the temperature surrounding the unit
becomes unusually high, or when the unit is used at high output over a long period which results in an extreme temperature rise.
When the protection circuit is activated, the speaker output is cut off and the power supply indicator LED flashes. Should this occur, please
follow these steps: be sure to switch off the power of this unit, check whether there are any faults with the wiring of the speaker cables or
input cables, and wait for the unit to cool down if it is very hot. Improve the ventilation condition around the unit and switch the power back
on.
If the protection circuit is activated again even though there are no problems with the wiring or the ventilation around the unit, switch off
the power and contact a DENON service center.

Protector circuit

• The protector circuit may be activated if the set is played for long periods of time at high volumes when speakers with an impedance lower
than the specified impedance (for example speakers with an impedance of lower than 4 Ω/ohms) are connected. If the protector circuit is
activated, the speaker output is cut off. Turn off the set’s power, wait for the set to cool down, improve the ventilation around the set, then
turn the power back on.

Note on speaker impedance

• With this unit’s speaker outputs, signals with the reverse phase of the “+” side output terminal’s signals are also output from the “-” side
output terminal.
Do not connect to a device for switching between multiple speakers (a speaker selector or audio channel selector) or connect in ways other
than described in this manual. Doing so will result in damage.

Cautions on connecting

(6) Speaker system connections

Be sure to turn the amplifier’s power off when connecting the
speaker systems.

• Use the included cables to connect the input terminals on the back
of the speaker systems (see diagram) to the amplifier’s speaker
output terminals. Connect the speaker system for the left channel
amplifier’s “L” terminals, the one for the right channel to the
amplifier’s “R” terminals, matching the polarities (“≈” and “√”
marks). Inverting the polarities will result in unnatural sound, with
the phase off or no low bass sound. Also check that all two terminal
knobs are tightly fastened.

Connecting the speaker cords

Use the included connection cords to connect the input terminals on
the backs of the speaker systems (see the diagram at the right) to the
ADV-M51’s speaker output terminals.

• Connect the speaker system for the left channel to the “L”
terminals, the speaker system for the right channel to the “R”
terminals, and be sure the polarities (“+” and “–”) are properly
interconnected.

• Note that if the polarities are inverted, the phase may be off and the
bass sound may be missing, resulting in an unnatural sound. Also
check that both the speaker terminal’s screws are tightly screwed.

Either twist the core wires
firmly or terminate the wires.

qTurn the speaker

terminal
counterclockwis
e to loosen it.

wInsert the cord’s

core wires.

eTurn clockwise to

tighten the
terminal.

(7)

Using the active subwoofer (DSW-3L) (D-M51DVS only)

1. Set the power switch to the “ON” position.

• When the unit’s AC power cord is plugged into a switched AC outlet on the amplifier, if the power switch is left at the “ON” position, the
unit’s power turns on and off automatically when the amplifier’s power is turned on and off.

• If the AC power cord is not plugged into a switched AC outlet on the amplifier, set the unit’s power switch to the “ON” position after turning

on the amplifier’s power. When turning the power off, set the unit’s power switch to the “OFF” position before turning off the amplifier’s power.

2. Adjust the volume using the volume adjustment control.
For details, see “PART NAMES AND FUNCTIONS”.

(8)

Removing the speaker net (SC-A3L) (D-M51DVS only)

* The net on the front of the speaker systems (SC-A3L) can be removed.

• To remove, grasp both sides of the net and pull forward.

• To mount, line up the holes in the four corners of the speaker net with the projecting pieces in the four corners of the cabinet and press in.

The red side is the “+” side, the black side
the “–” side.
To “+” side on amplifier (copper colored core
wire)

NOTE: Make sure the core wires do not

touch each other.

To “–” side on amplifier (silver colored core
wire)

Volume adjustment control (LEVEL)

• This control only functions when the LF DIRECT switch (v) is
set to the “OFF” position.

• Use this control to adjust the volume of the active subwoofer.

• When turned clockwise ( ) from the center position, the

volume of the active subwoofer increases, and when turned
counterclockwise ( ), the volume decreases. Set to the
desired position.

m

z

Line input connector (LINE IN)

• Connect this to the AV amplifier’s pre-out connector
(“SUBWOOFER”, “MONO OUT”, etc.) using the included
connection cord (3-meter RCA pin cord).

x

Line output connector (LINE OUT)

• The signal input to the line input connector is output as such
from here in parallel.

• When using two active subwoofers, connect the other active
subwoofer’s line input connector to this connector.

c

Phase selector switch (PHASE)

• This switches the phase of the output signal with respect to
the input signal.

• Normally use the subwoofer with this switch set at the
“NORM.” position. If the continuity between the sound of the

active subwoofer and the left and right speakers seems
unnatural, try switching to the “REV.” position, and set the
switch to the position in which the sound is most natural.

v

LF direct switch (LF DIRECT)

• When using the active subwoofer connected to a Dolby
Digital- or dts-compatible AV amplifier, if this function is turned
on the signals bypass the active subwoofer’s crossover and
volume adjustment circuits, resulting in purer, higher quality
sound. Note that when this is done the crossover adjustment
control (b) and volume adjustment control (n) will no longer
function.

b

Crossover adjustment control (CROSSOVER)

• This control only functions when the LF DIRECT switch (v) is
set to the “OFF” position.

• This control sets the upper limit of the frequencies reproduced
by the active subwoofer.

• Setting criteria
50Hz : For left/right speakers with diameters of 20 cm or

greater

100Hz : For left/right speakers with diameters between 10

and 25 cm

200Hz : For left/right speakers with diameters of 12 cm or

less

• When using a Dolby Digital- or dts-compatible AV amplifier, we
recommend turning the LF DIRECT switch (v) to the “ON”
position and not using this function.

Active subwoofer (DSW-3L) rear panel

About the AV amplifier’s crossover frequency selection

The crossover frequency of the satellite speaker/center
speaker and the active subwoofer (the boundary between the
frequency range produced by the active subwoofer and the
other speakers) is set on the connected AV amplifier, and is
usually fixed at between 80 and 120 kHz.
With some amplifiers, however, including the Denon ADV­M51, this frequency can be selected. When using this type of
amplifier, the crossover frequency can be selected to suit your
tastes.
When using the DSW-3L active subwoofer with this type of
amplifier, a richer sound can be achieved by setting the
crossover frequency to around 150 Hz. Adjust the crossover
frequency to suit your tastes. For instructions on switching,
refer to your amplifier’s operating instructions.
When connecting to a Dolby Digital- or dts-compatible AV
amplifier, whether one on which the crossover frequency is
fixed or one on which it can be adjusted, we recommend
setting the LF DIRECT switch of the active subwoofer (DSW­3L) to the “ON” position.

Auto Standby Function

• The amplifier is automatically set to the standby mode if no
signal is input for 5 to 11 minutes, thereby saving
electricity.
The power turns on immediately when a signal is input.

,

Status indicator

• The two-colored LED indicates the active subwoofer’s
operating status, as follows:

Power “ON” .........................................................Lights green

Auto power off (standby mode)................................Lights red

Power “OFF”................................................................LED off

Protective circuit activated ....................................Flashing red

.

Power switch (POWER)

• The power turns on when this switch is set to the “ON”
position.

• Several seconds are required for the set to begin operating.
This is because the set includes a built-in muting circuit to
prevent noise when the power switch is turned on and off.

• When set to the “OFF” position, the power turns off.

REMOTE CONTROL UNIT

• The included remote control unit (RC-966) can be used to operate not only this unit but other remote control compatible DENON components
as well. In addition, the memory contains the control signals for other remote control units, so it can be used to operate non-DENON remote
control compatible products.

(1) Inserting the batteries

q Remove the remote control unit’s rear cover.

w Set three R6P/AA batteries in the battery compartment in the

indicated direction.

e Put the rear cover back on.

Notes on Batteries

• Use R6P/AA batteries in the remote control unit.

• The batteries should be replaced with new ones approximately

once a year, though this depends on the frequency of usage.

• Even if less than a year has passed, replace the batteries with new
ones if the set does not operate even when the remote control unit
is operated nearby the set. (The included battery is only for verifying
operation. Replace it with a new battery as soon as possible.)

• When inserting the batteries, be sure to do so in the proper
direction, following the “≈” and “√” marks in the battery
compartment.

• To prevent damage or leakage of battery fluid:

• Do not use a new battery together with an old one.

• Do not use two different types of batteries.

• Do not short-circuit, disassemble, heat or dispose of batteries in

flames.

• Remove the batteries from the remote control unit when you do
not plan to use it for an extended period of time.

• If the battery fluid should leak, carefully wipe the fluid off the inside
of the battery compartment and insert new batteries.

• When replacing the batteries, have the new batteries ready and
insert them as quickly as possible.

but by the speaker’s capacity to reproduce low frequencies of
100 Hz or less. If you do not know, determine the best setting by
comparing the sound when the setting is set to “Small” and
“Large”, keeping the volume low enough to prevent damage to
the speaker.

• Select “Large” or “Small” not according to the actual size of the
speaker but according to the speaker’s capacity for playing low
frequency (approximately 100 Hz and below) signals. If you do
not know, try comparing the sound at both settings (setting the
volume to a level low enough so as not to damage the speakers)
to determine the proper setting.

Parameters

Large…… Select this when using speakers that can fully reproduce

low sounds of below 100 Hz.

Small…… Select this when using speakers that do not provide

sufficient volume for playing low frequencies of 100 Hz
and less. When this setting is made, frequencies below
the frequency set at the subwoofer frequency setting
are assigned to the subwoofer.

Yes/No…. Select “Yes ” when a subwoofer is installed, “No” when

a subwoofer is not installed.
If the subwoofer has sufficient low frequency playback capacity,
good sound can be achieved even when “Small” is set for the
front speakers.
For the majority of speaker system configurations, using the
SMALL setting for main speakers and Subwoofer On with a
connected subwoofer will yield the best results.

Subwoofer (SW FREQ.) frequency

• For the subwoofer frequency at the speaker setting screen, set
the bass crossover frequency for playback from the subwoofer.

• Select “80 Hz”, “120 Hz”, “150 Hz” or “180 Hz” (-6 dB for
each). Bass sound below these frequencies is played from the
subwoofer.
(This is set to “150 Hz” by factory default.)

Assignment of low frequencies

• In the Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic II, DTS, and virtual surround
modes, the low frequency signals for channels whose speaker
settings are set to “Small” are assigned to the subwoofer. The
low frequencies of channels set to “Large” are played from
those channels.
(If set to “120 Hz”, channels set to “Small” play sounds of 120
Hz and greater, while bass frequencies of under 120 Hz are
played from the subwoofer.)

• In surround modes other than the ones listed above, low
frequencies below the frequency set at the subwoofer frequency
setting are played from the subwoofer regardless of whether the
speakers are set to “Large” or “Small”.

• Set the subwoofer frequency according to the low frequency
playback abilities of your speakers and subwoofer.

Subwoofer mode

• The subwoofer mode setting is only valid when “LARGE” is set
for the front speakers and “YES” is set for the subwoofer in the

“SPEAKER CONFIGURATION” settings.

• When the “LFE+MAIN” playback mode is selected, the low

frequency signal range of channels set to “LARGE” are produced
simultaneously from those channels and the subwoofer channel.
In this playback mode, the low frequency range expand more
uniformly through the room, but depending on the size and shape
of the room, interference may result in a decrease of the actual
volume of the low frequency range.

• Selection of the “LFE ” play mode will play the low frequency
signal range of the channel selected with “LARGE” from that
channel only. Therefore, the low frequency signal range that are
played from the subwoofer channel are only the low frequency
signal range of LFE (only during Dolby Digital or DTS signal
playback) and the channel specified as “SMALL” in the setup
menu.

• Select the play mode that provides bass reproduction with body.

• When the subwoofer is set to “YES”, bass sound is output from

the subwoofer regardless of the subwoofer mode setting in
surround modes other than Dolby/DTS.

Dolby Surround

(1) Dolby Digital

Dolby Digital is the multi-channel digital signal format developed by Dolby Laboratories.
Dolby Digital consists of up to “5.1” channels - front left, front right, center, surround left, surround right, and an additional channel exclusively
reserved for additional deep bass sound effects (the Low Frequency Effects – LFE – channel, also called the “.1” channel, containing bass
frequencies of up to 120 Hz).
Unlike the analog Dolby Pro Logic format, Dolby Digital’s main channels can all contain full range sound information, from the lowest bass, up
to the highest frequencies – 22 kHz. The signals within each channel are distinct from the others, allowing pinpoint sound imaging, and Dolby
Digital offers tremendous dynamic range from the most powerful sound effects to the quietest, softest sounds, free from noise and distortion.

(The factory default is “Normal”.)

(2) Dolby Pro Logic II

• Dolby Pro Logic II is a new multi-channel playback format developed by Dolby Laboratories using feedback logic steering technology and

offering improvements over conventional Dolby Pro Logic circuits.

• Dolby Pro Logic II can be used to decode not only sources recorded in Dolby Surround ( ) but also regular stereo sources into five channels

(front left, front right, center, surround left and surround right) to achieve surround sound.

• Whereas with conventional Dolby Pro Logic the surround channel playback frequency band was limited, Dolby Pro Logic

II offers a wider

band range (20 Hz to 20 kHz or greater). In addition, the surround channels were monaural (the surround left and right channels were the
same) with previous Dolby Pro Logic, but Dolby Pro Logic

II they are played as stereo signals.

•

Various parameters can be set according to the type of source and the contents, so it is possible to achieve optimum decoding.

Sources recorded in Dolby Surround
These are sources in which three or more channels of surround have been recorded as two channels of signals using Dolby Surround
encoding technology.
Dolby Surround is used for the sound tracks of movies recorded on DVDs, LDs and video cassettes to be played on stereo VCRs, as well
as for the stereo broadcast signals of FM radio, TV, satellite broadcasts and cable TV.
Decoding these signals with Dolby Pro Logic makes it possible to achieve multi-channel surround playback. The signals can also be played
on ordinary stereo equipment, in which case they provide normal stereo sound.

There are two types of DVD Dolby surround recording signals.

DTS Digital Surround

Digital Theater Surround (also called simply DTS) is a multi-channel digital signal format developed by Digital Theater Systems.
DTS offers the same “5.1” playback channels as Dolby Digital (front left, front right and center, surround left and surround right) as well as the
stereo 2-channel mode. The signals for the different channels are fully independent, eliminating the risk of deterioration of sound quality due to
interference between signals, crosstalk, etc.
DTS features a relatively higher bit rate as compared to Dolby Digital (1234 kbps for CDs and LDs, 1536 kbps for DVDs) so it operates with a
relatively low compression rate. Because of this the amount of data is great, and when DTS playback is used in movie theaters, a separate CD­ROM synchronized with the film is played.
With LDs and DVDs, there is of course no need for an extra disc; the pictures and sound can be recorded simultaneously on the same disc, so
the discs can be handled in the same way as discs with other formats.
Other media include CDs recorded in DTS. These are the same discs as conventional CDs (recorded in 2 channels) but include 5.1 channel
surround signals. They do not include images, but they do permit surround playback on the ADV-M51 and on CD players.DTS surround track
playback offers the same intricate, grand sound as in a movie theater, right in your own listening room.

1 DTS signals are recorded in the same way on CDs and LDs as PCM signals. Because of this, the un-decoded DTS signals are output as

random “hissy” noise from the CD or LD player’s analog outputs. If this noise is played with the amplifier set at a very high volume, it
may possibly cause damage to the speakers. To avoid this, be sure to switch the input mode to “AUTO” or “DTS” before playing CDs or
LDs recorded in DTS. Also, never switch the input mode to “ANALOG” or “PCM” during playback. The same is true when playing CDs
and LDs recorded in DTS on the ADV-M51 or on LD/DVD compatible players. With DVDs, the DTS signals are recorded with a special
recording method so there is no problem. For DVDs, the DTS signals are recorded in a special way so this problem does not occur.

2 The signals provided at the digital outputs of a CD or LD player may undergo some sort of internal signal processing (output level

adjustment, sampling frequency conversion, etc.). In this case the DTS-encoded signals may be processed erroneously, in which case they
cannot be decoded by this unit, or may only produce noise. Before playing DTS signals for the first time, turn down the master volume to
a low level, start playing the DTS disc, then check whether the DTS indicator on this unit (see page 45) lights before turning up the master
volume.

3 To play in DTS Digital Surround on the ADV-M51, set “DVD SETUP” — “AUDIO SETUP” — “DIGITAL OUT” to “Normal” in the setup.

Dolby Virtual Speaker

Dolby Virtual Speaker technology uses proprietary technology of Dolby Laboratories to create a virtual surround sound field using only two
speakers for the front channels, allowing the user to experience sound as if surround speakers were actually being used.

2 Features of Dolby Virtual Speaker sound

B Accurate surround sound field positioning

The virtual surround speakers are positioned at 105° to the left and 105° to the right.

B Multi-channel programs played according to the producer’s intentions

The sound of the different channels is played in the position set upon mixing. For example, sound set at the rear left is heard from the rear
left.

B Stereo programs played in surround

The Dolby Pro Logic II circuit is used together with the Dolby Virtual Speaker circuitry to create a rich virtual surround sound field with stereo
programs as well.

B Selecting the listening mode

Two listening modes are provided: Reference and Wide.

Reference mode Wide mode

Dolby Headphone

Dolby Headphone is a 3D sound technology developed jointly by Dolby Laboratories and Lake Technology of Australia achieving surround sound
with regular headphones.
Normally when using headphones all the sounds are sounded in the head, making it uncomfortable to listen with headphones for long periods of
time. Dolby Headphone simulates speaker playback in a room and positions the sound sources to the front or the sides, outside of the head,
achieving a powerful sound similar to that of a movie theater or home theater. This technology is aimed mainly at multi-channel audio or video
equipment including Dolby Digital or Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoding functions and operates inside a high performance digital signal processing
chip (DSP).
The Dolby Headphone mode can be used not only with multi-channel sources but also with stereo programs.

JAZZ CLUB

VIDEO GAME

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.

Depending on the source being played, the effect may not be very strong.
In such cases, try other surround modes without paying too much attention to their names and choose the one you feel is best.

NOTE 1: When playing sources recorded in monaural, the sound is one-sided if only one channel (left or right) is input, so input signals to both

channels.

Personal Memory Plus

This set is equipped with a personal memorize function that automatically memorizes the surround modes and input modes selected for the
input different sources. When the input source is switched, the modes set for that source last time it was used are automatically recalled.

• Settings automatically stored in the memory for the individual input functions using the Personal Memory Plus function:

(3) Playback using the Dolby Headphone mode

• The ADV-M51 is equipped with the Dolby Headphone mode, a technology developed jointly by Dolby Laboratories and Lake Technology for
achieving 3D sound over regular headphones.

• The Dolby Headphone mode is set when headphones are connected to the ADV-M51’s headphones jack.

• There are actually four Dolby Headphone modes creating different sound field effects: DH1, DH2, DH3 and Bypass (normal stereo playback).

• The Dolby Headphone mode is compatible with Dolby Digital and DTS multi-channel sources. With 2-channel sources, playback in the Cinema,

Music 1 and Music 2 modes can be selected with the 2-channel mode setting.

[1] Listening to Recorded MP3 CD/CD-R/CD-RW

2 There are many music distribution sites on the internet from which music files in MP3 format can be downloaded. Music downloaded as

instructed on the site and written onto a CD-R/RW disc can be played on the ADV-M51.

If music recorded on commercially available music CDs is converted on a computer into MP3 files using an MP3 encoder (conversion software),
the data on a 12 cm CD is reduced into about 1/10 the amount of the original data. Thus, when written in MP3 format, the data of about 10
music CDs can fit onto a single CD-R/RW disc. A single CD-R/RW disc can contain over 100 tracks.

Values when 5-minute tracks are converted with a standard bit rate of 128 kbps into MP3 files and using a CD-R/RW disc with a capacity
of 650 MB.

(6) MP3 WMA Playback

1

Load the CD-R/RW disc on which the MP3 format music
files have been written into this unit. (See page 40.)

• When the disc is loaded in the ADV-M51, the disc
information screen appears.

• If there are multiple folders, proceed to step 2.

• If there are no folders on the disc (if the disc only

contains MP3 files), proceed to step 3.

All the folders recorded on the disc are displayed.

NOTES:

• The ADV-M51 is compatible with the “MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3” standards (sampling frequency of 32, 44.1 or 48 kHz). It is not compatible
with such other standards as “MPEG-2 Audio Layer 3”, “MPEG-2.5 Audio Layer 3”, MP1, MP2, etc.

• It may not be possible to play some CD-R/RW discs due to disc properties, dirt, warping, etc.

• The digital signals output when playing MP3 files are MP3 signals converted into PCM, regardless of whether the audio output presenting
is set to “normal” or “PCM conversion”. The signals are output with the same sampling frequency as that of the music source.

• In general, the higher an MP3 file’s bit rate, the better the sound quality. On the ADV-M51, we recommend using MP3 files recorded with

bit rates of 128 kbps or greater.

• MP3 files may not be played in the expected order, since the writing software may change the position of the folders and the order of
the files when writing them on the CD-R/RW.

• Manual search and programmed playback are not possible with MP3 discs.

• When writing MP3 files on CD-R/RW discs, select “ISO9660 level 1” as the writing software format. This may not be possible with some
types of writing software. For details, refer to the writing software’s usage instructions.

• With the ADV-M51 it is possible to display folder names and file names on the screen like titles. The ADV-M51 can display up to 11
characters, consisting of numbers, capital letters, and the “_” (underscore) mark.

• If recorded in a format other than “ISO9660 level 1”, normal display and playback may not be possible. In addition, folder and file names

including other symbols will not be displayed properly.

• Be sure to add the extension “.MP3” to MP3 files. Files cannot be played if they have any extension other than “.MP3” or if they have
no extension. (with Macintosh computers, MP3 files can be played by adding the extension “.MP3” after the file name consisting of up
to 8 capital or numbers and recording the files on the CD-R/RW.)

• Do not apply stickers, tape, etc., to either the label side or the signal side of CD-R/RW discs. If adhesive gets on the surface of a disc,
the disc may get stuck inside the ADV-M51 and be impossible to eject.

• The ADV-M51 is not compatible with packet write software.

• The ADV-M51 is not compatible with ID3-Tag.

• The ADV-M51 is not compatible with play lists.

NOTES:

• Files recorded with a sampling frequency (fs) of 32, 44.1, and 48 kHz are supported.

• Programmed playback cannot be performed with WMA files.

• The digital output at the time of WMA file playback is converted to PCM regardless of the initial settings.

• Please use discs that have been recorded in conformity with the ISO 9660 level 1/level 2 CD-ROM file system. (Extended formats are

excluded.)

• Copyright protected files cannot be played. Also note that depending on the writing software and conditions, playback might not be
possible, or the files might not be displayed properly.

• Playback of the CD-R/RW might not be possible depending on the disc characteristics, soiling, scratches, and other factors.

• Bit rates of 64 k to 160 kbps are supported for WMA files that have an extension of “.wma” or “.WMA”.

• This unit can display the folder names and file names on the screen. Up to 11 half-width alphanumeric upper case characters and symbols

(including the underscore symbol) can be displayed.

• While in the stop condition, the DISPLAY button of the remote control can be used to switch and display the title names and the artist
names. (One folder has a capacity of up to 99 files.)

• Recorded discs with no more than 99 files per folder are recommended. Multiple folder configurations are possible; however, depending
on the configuration, playback of all the folders and files might not be possible.

• Multi-session discs and CD-R/RW that have not been finalized can also be played back; however, playback of discs that have had session
closure within 10 sessions or have been finalized is recommended.

• Direct track selection using the remote control numerical keys (0 to 9, and +10) can specify up to 179 tracks (179 files) per folder. When
179 tracks are exceeded, while the unit is stopped use the cursor buttons at the disc information screen to select the files, and use the
play button of the ENTER button to play.
