The AVR-5800/AVC-A1SE Upgrade is compatible with sources recorded in DTS 96/24, a new multi-channel digital signal format developed by Digital Theater Systems Inc. DTS 96/24 sources can be played in the multi-channel mode on the AVR-5800/AVC-A1SE Upgrade with high sound quality of 96 kHz/24 bits or 88.2 kHz/24 bits.

3. Dolby Pro Logic II decoder

Dolby Pro Logic II is a new format for playing multichannel audio signals that offers improvements over conventional Dolby Pro Logic. It can be used to decode not only sources recorded in Dolby Surround but also regular stereo sources into five channels (front left/right, center and surround left/right). In addition, various parameters can be set according to the type of source and the contents, so you can adjust the sound field with greater precision.

4. Dolby Headphone Compatibility

This is a three-dimensional sound technology developed jointly by Dolby Laboratories and Lake Technoligy Ltd. of Australia for achieving surround

sound using regular headphones.

5. DENON Link

This terminal can be used to connect a Denon DVD player for high quality digital multichannel playback.

6. Digital Ext. In

This is a function for future system expansion when using digital multichannel connections.

7. Auto Surround Mode

This function stores the surround mode last used for an input signal in the memory and automatically sets that surround mode the next time that signal is input.

8. Audio Delay

This is a function for delaying the audio signal with respect to the video signal. (0 to 200 msec)

9. Setup Lock

This is a function that locks the system setup and surround parameter settings, etc., so that they cannot be changed.

10. Delay Time

The maximum settable value has been changed from 15 feet to 20 feet, the setting steps from 1 foot to 0.1 feet.

On Screen Display

Input the combination of speakers in your system and their corresponding sizes (Small for regular speakers, Large for fullsize, full-range) to automatically set the composition of the signals output from the speakers and the frequency response.

Use this function when using multiple surround speaker combinations for more ideal surround sound. Once the combinations of surround speakers to be used for the different surround modes are preset, the surround speakers are selected automatically according to the surround mode.

This selects the subwoofer speaker for playing deep bass signals.

This adjusts the volume of the signals output from the speakers and subwoofer for the different channels in order to obtain optimum effects.

This parameter is for detecting the maximum level of the low bass signals output from the subwoofer channel in order to protect the subwoofer from damage and prevent unpleasant distorted sounds from being produced.

This assigns the digital input jacks for the different input sources.

This sets whether or not to display the on-screen display that appears on the monitor screen when the controls on the remote control unit or main unit are operated (from MONITOR 1 outputs only).
