DESCRIPTION
DTS was introduced in 1994 to provide 5.1 channels of
discrete digital audio into home theater systems.
DTS brings you premium quality discrete multi-channel
digital sound to both movies and music.
DTSis a multi-channel sound system designed to create full
range digital sound reproduction.
The no compromise DTS digital process sets the standard
of quality for cinema sound by delivering an exact copy
of the studio master recordings to neighborhood and home
theaters.
Now,every moviegoer can hear the sound exactly as the
moviemaker intended.
DTS can be enjoyed in the home for either movies or music
on of DVD's, LD's, and CD's.
"DTS"and "DTSDigital Surround" are registered trademarks
of Digital Theater Systems, Inc.
The advantages of discrete multichannel systems over
matrix are well known.
But even in homes equipped for discrete multichannel,
there remains a need for high-quality matrix decoding. This
is because of the large library of matrix surround motion
pictures available on disc and on VHS tape; and analog
television broadcasts.
The typical matrix decoder of today derives a center
channel and a mono surround channel from two-channel
matrix stereo material. It is better than a simple matrix in
that it includes steering logic to improve separation, but
because of its mono, band-limited surround it can be
disappointing to users accustomed to discrete
multichannel.
Neo6 offers several important improvements as follow.
< Neo 6 provides up to six full-band channels of matrix
decoding from stereo matrix material. Users with 6.1 and
5.1 systems will derive six and five separate channels,
respectively. corresponding to the standard hometheater speaker layouts.
< Neo 6 technology allows various sound elements within
a channel or channels to be steered separately, and in a
way which follows naturally from the original
presentation.
DTS-ES Extended Surround is a new multi-channel digital
signal format developed by Digital Theater Systems Inc.
While offering high compatibility with the conventional
DTS Digital Surroud format, DTS-ES Extended Surround
greatly improves the 360-degree surround impression and
space expression thanks to further expanded surround
signals. This format has been used professionally in movie
theaters since 1999.
In addition to the 5.1surround channels (FL, FR, C, SL, SR
and LFE), DTS-ES Extended Surround also offers the SB
(Surround Back) channel for surround playback with a total
of 6.1 channels. DTS-ES Extended Surround includes two
signal formats with different surround signal recording
methods, as DTS-ESDiscrete 6.1 and DTS-ESMatrix 6.1.
"DTS", "DTS-ES Extended Surround" and "Neo:6" are
trademarks of Digital Theater Systems, Inc.
Dolby Digital identifies the use of Dolby Digital (AC-3) audio
coding for such consumer formats as DVD and DTV. As with
film sound, Dolby Digital can provide up to five full-range
channels for left, center, and right screen channels,
independent left and right surround channels, and a sixth (
".1") channel for low-frequency effects.
Dolby Surround Pro Logic II is an improved matrix decoding
technology that provides better spatiality and directionality
on Dolby Surround program material; provides a convincing
three-dimensional soundfield on conventional stereo music
recordings; and is ideally suited to bring the surround
experience to automotive sound. While conventional
surround programming is fully compatible with Dolby
Surround Pro Logic II decoders, soundtracks will be able to
be encoded specifically to take full advantage of Pro-Logic
II playback, including separate left and right surround
channels. (Such material is also compatible with
conventional Pro Logic decoders. )
Dolby Digital EX creates six full-bandwidth output channels
from 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 results, Dolby Digital EX
should be used with movies soundtracks recorded with
Dolby Digital Surround EX.
< Neo 6 offers a music mode to expand stereo nonmatrix
recordings into the five-or six-chnnel layout, in a way
which does not diminish the subtlety and integrity of the
original stereo recording.

DVD PLAYER, CABLE BOX, SATELLITE RECEIVER(DSS), TELEVISION (MONITOR)
If you use both S-Video and RCA composite cables to
S-VIDEO
IN
VIDEO
IN
connect different video components to the AVR-800, you
must also use both S-Video and RCA composite cables to
connect the TV monitor to the AVR-800.
For example, if you connect a DVD player to the AVR-800
using S-Video cable and a VCR using an RCA to RCA
composite cable, you must also connect the TV to the
AVR-800 using both types of cables. This requires an SVideo cable from the S-Video monitor out jack on the AVR800 to an S-Video input on the TV (ie. Video 1). In addition,
you must use an RCA composite cable from the composite
video monitor out jack on the AVR-800 to an RCA
composite video input on the TV but not the same input used
for the S-Video cable(ie: Video 2). Using this type of dual
cable video connection. you will need to switch the TV
video input source from TV to Video 1 to Video 2 depending
on the video sourcebeing played-TV, DVD or VCR.
When connecting video components such as DVD
players, cable boxes, satellite receivers and televisions,
you can use different types of cables depending on how
the video component is equipped.
Video connections:
If the video component is equipped with S-VIDEO jacks,
it is recommended that it be connected to the AVR-800
or directly to the television monitor using an S-VIDEO
cable. S-Video cables provide better picture clarity and
resolution. If the video component is not equipped with
an S-VI DEO jack, use a conventional RCA to RCA
composite cable to connect to the AVR-800 or directly
to the television.
The above illustration shows how to connect video
components to the AVR-800.
Note:
When connection more than one video component to the
AVR-800 (ie: VCR and DVD player) it is easier to use
either all S-Video cables or all RCA to RCA composite
cables. This allows both video signals (DVD and VCR) to
be sent through the AVR-800 to the TV monitor using
just one video input on the TV (S-Video or RCA).
Regardless of the video component being played DVD or
VCR, the picture will always appear on the same video
input of the monitor.
Audio connections:
Some video components are equipped with special
digital audio outputs (ie: DVD players). If your video
component is equipped with a digital audio output, it is
recommended that you connect to the AVR-800 using a
digital cable. Digital audio cables are required to use the
DTS and Dolby Digital surround sound modes. If you do
not use digital connections, the AVR-800 will only
operate in Dolby Pro LogicII, Dolby 3 Stereo, Hall, Theater
and Stadium surround modes.
There are two types of digital cables - coaxial (75 ohm) and
optical. The
AVR-800
is equipped with both types of digital
inputs. These inputs are labeled DIGITAL/DTS/PCM on the
rear of the unit. Connect the video component outputs to any
oneof the three digital inputs on the
AVR-800.
If the video component is not equipped with a digital output,
use a dual RCA to RCA composite audio cable to connect to
the
AVR-800.
Make sureto connect:
White plug to white jack ( L : left )
Red plug to red jack ( R: right )
Note:
When an optical cable is used, remove the protection
caps from the component and AVR-800 before
attempting to insert the optical cable. If not using an
optical cable or if the cable is removed, always re-install
the protection caps to prevent dirt and dust from
entering the inputs. If using a coaxial digital cable, leave
the protection caps in both the video component and
AVR-800.

RDSOPERATION
RDSOperation
Now in use in many countries, RDS (Radio Data System) is a
description of the station's programming hidden space in the
FM signal.
Your new receiver is equipped with RDS to assist in the
selection of FM stations using station and network names,
rather than broadcast frequencies. Additional RDS functions
include the ability to search for programme types.
RADIO TEXT
Some RDS stations broadcast RADIO TEXT, which is additional
information on the station and programme being broadcast.
RADIO TEXT information appears as 'running' text in the
display. RADIO TEXT is transmitted character-by-character by
the radio station. As a result of that it may take some time until
the entire text has been completely received.
RDSDISPLAY
When a receiver is tuned to an FM station that is transmitting
RDS data. the Front Panel Information Display will
automatically show the station name or RDS TEXT in place of
the typical display of the station's broadcast frequency.
To change the display, press the RDS button on the remote
control unit.

In the surround modes, the sound from the rear speakers
should be delayed slightly, relative to that from the front
speakers.
The optimum delay time will depend on acoustic properties,
whether the walls and furnishingsreflect or absorb sound, etc.
It is recommended that you try different delay times to obtain
the best effect. The delay is digitally synthesized, for the
highest sound quality with minimum noise and distortion.
The delay time can be set independently for each surround
mode using the DELAY TIME buttons, with the current setting
shown in the display.
