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.
DTS is 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 "DTS Digital 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 disappoint ing t o users accust omed t o discret e 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 nat urally from t he original presentation.
<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.
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-ES Discrete 6.1 and DTS-ES Matrix 6.1.
"DTS", "DTS-ES Ext ended 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 t o aut omot ive sound. While convent ional 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 I I playback, including separate left and right surround channels. (Such mat erial is also compat ible wit h 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.

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 j ack, use a convent ional RCA t o 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 j ust one video input on t he 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.
I f you use both S-Video and RCA composite cables to 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 S- Video 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 monit or out j ack on t he AVR-800 t o 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 source being played-TV, DVD or VCR.
Audio connections:
Some video components are equipped with special digital audio outputs (ie: DVD players). I f 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 i s 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 one of the three digital inputs on theAVR-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 sure to 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 t he 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 t he protection caps t o 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.
