DTS Neo : 6™ surround
This mode applies conventional 2-channel signals such as digital PCM or analog stereo signals to the high precision digital matrix decoder used for DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 to achieve 6.1-channel surround playback. DTS Neo : 6 surround includes two modes for selecting the optimum decoding for the signal source.
󳢯󳢯
DTS Neo : 6 Cinema
This mode is optimum for playing movies. Decoding is performed with emphasis on separation performance to achieve the same atmosphere with 2-channel sources as with 6.1-channel sources.
󳢯󳢯
DTS Neo : 6 Music
This mode is suited mainly for playing music. The front left and front right signals bypass the decoder and are played directly so there is no loss of sound quality, and the effect of the surround signals from the center, surround left, surround right and surround back channels adds a natural sense of expansion to the sound field.
DTS, DTS-ES Extended Surround and Neo : 6 are trademarks of Digital Theater Systems,Inc.
Dolby Digital
Dolby Digital is the multi- channel digital signal format developed by Dolby Laboratories. Discs bearing the “ ” includes the recording of up to 5.1 channels of
digital signals, which can reproduce much better sound quality, spatial expansion and dynamic range characteristics than the previous Dolby Surround effect.
Dolby Digital EX
This mode creates the back (sometimes also referred to as surround center) signals from the surround left and right signals in Dolby Digital 5.1 channel source using a matrix decoder and provides 6.1 channel surround playback. For the best results, this mode should be selected during playback of sources(bearing the ) recorded in
Dolby Digital Surround EX. With this additional channel, you can experience more dynamic and realistic moving sound especially. When Dolby Digital EX sources are decoded with a Dolby Digital EX decoder, the format is automatically detected upon decoding and the Dolby Digital EX mode is selected. However, some Dolby Digital EX sources may be detected as Dolby Digital sources. In this case, the Dolby Digital EX mode should be selected manually to play these sources.
SURROUND SOUND
This receiver incorporates a sophisticated Digital Signal Processor that allows you to create optimum sound quality and sound atmosphere in your personal Home Theater.
DTS Digital Surround
DTS Digital Surround(also called simply DTS) is a multi­channel digital signal format which can handle higher data rates than Dolby Digital. Although both Dolby Digital and DTS are 5.1 channel formats, discs bearing the
are generally thought to provide better sound quality due to the lower audio compression required. It also provides wide dynamic range and separation, resulting in magnificent sound.
DTS - ES Extended Surround™
()
This is a new multi channel digital signal format which greatly improves the 360- degree surround impression and space expression thanks to further expanded surround signals, offering high compatibility with the conventional DTS format. In addition to the 5.1 channels, DTS-ES Extended Surround also offers the surround back (sometimes also referred to as surround center) 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 follows:
󳢯󳢯
DTS-ES™ Discrete 6.1
Because the signals for 6.1 channels (including the surround back channel) are fully independent, it is possible to achieve a sense that the acoustic image are moving about freely among the background sounds surrounding the listener from 360 degrees. Though maximum performance is achieved when sound tracks recorded with this system are played using a DTS -ES decoder, when played with a conventional DTS decoder, the surround back channel signals are automatically downmixed to the surround left and surround right channels so that none of the signal components are lost.
󳢯󳢯
DTS - ES™ Matrix 6.1
With this format, the additional surround back channel signals undergo matrix encoding and are input to the surround left and surround right channels beforehand. During playback, they are decoded to the surround left, surround right and surround back
channels. Because the bit stream format is 100% compatible with conventional DTS signals, the effect of the DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 format can be achieved even with DTS 5.1- channel signal sources. Of course, it is possible to play DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 ­channel signal sources with a DTS 5.1 - channel decoder. When DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 or Matrix 6.1 sources are decoded with a DTS - ES decoder, the format is automatically detected upon decoding and the optimum surround mode is selected.
However, some DTS - ES Matrix 6.1 sources may be
detected as DTS sources. In this case, the DTS - ES Matrix
mode should be selected manually to play these sources.

Surround signals, etc. to surround processing to offer
improvements over conventional Dolby Pro Logic circuits.
Dolby Pro Logic II surround includes two modes as follows:
󳢯󳢯
Dolby Pro Logic II Cinema
When enjoying movies, this mode allows you to further
enhance the cinematic quality by adding processing that
emphasizes the sounds of the action special effects.
󳢯󳢯

Ideal speaker placement varies depending on the size of your room and the wall coverings, etc. The typical example of speaker placement and recommendations are as follows :
Front left and right speakers and center speaker
󳢯Place the front speakers with their front surfaces as flush with TV or
monitor screen as possible.
󳢯Place the center speaker between the front left and right speakers
and no further from the listening position than the front speakers.
󳢯Place each speaker so that sound is aimed at the location of the listener’s
ears when at the main listening position.
Surround left and right speakers
󳢯Place the surround speakers approximately 40 inches (1 meter) above
the ear level of a seated listener on the direct left and right of them or slightly behind.
Surround back speaker
󳢯Place the surround back speaker at the rear center facing the front at a
slightly higher position (0 to 10 inches) than the surround speakers.
󳢯We recommend installing the surround back speaker at a slightly
downward facing angle. This effectively prevents the surround back channel signals from reflecting off the TV or screen at the front center, resulting in interference and making the sense of movement from the front to the back less sharp.
