Using the Surround Modes
PRO LOGIC
This unit activates a variety of Surround modes automatically. The basic settings and adjustments stored (see pages
21 to 27) are applied automatically.
Reproducing Theater Ambience
In a movie theater, many speakers are located on the walls to
reproduce impressive multi-surround sounds, reaching you from all
directions.
With these many speakers, sound localization and sound movement
can be expressed.
Surround modes built in this receiver can create almost the same
surround sounds as you can feel in a real movie theater—with only
a limited number of the speakers.
Introducing the Surround Modes
Dolby Digital*
Dolby Digital is a digital signal compression method, developed
by Dolby Laboratories, and enables multi-channel encoding and
decoding (1ch up to 5.1ch).
• When Dolby Digital signal is detected through the digital input,
the
Dolby Digital 5.1CH
Dolby Digital 5.1CH (DOLBY DIGITAL) encoding method
records and digitally compresses the left front channel, right front
channel, center channel, left surround channel, right surround
channel, and LFE channel signals (total 6 channels, but the LFE
channel is counted as 0.1 channel. Therefore, called 5.1 channel).
Dolby Digital enables stereo surround sounds, and sets the cutoff
frequency of the surround treble at 20 kHz, compared to 7 kHz for
Dolby Pro Logic. As such, the sound movement and “being-there”
feeling are enhanced much more than Dolby Pro Logic.
Another digital surround encoding format introduced by Dolby
Laboratories is Dolby Digital EX, which adds the third surround
channels, called “surround back.”
Compared to the conventional Dolby Digital 5.1CH, these newly
added surround back channels can reproduce more detailed
movements behind you while viewing the video software. In
addition, surround sound localization will become more stable.
• You can use Virtual Surround Back (see page 25) when playing
back Dolby Digital Surround EX software. This function creates
the great surround effect from the behind as if you have
connected the surround back speakers.

Dolby Pro Logic II
Dolby Pro Logic II is a multi-channel playback format to convert
2-channel software into 5-channel (plus subwoofer). The matrixbased conversion method used for Dolby Pro Logic II makes no
limitation for the cutoff frequency of the surround treble and
enables stereo surround sound.
• This receiver provides two types of Dolby Pro Logic II modes—
Pro Logic II Movie (PLII MOVIE) and Pro Logic II Music
(PLII MUSIC).
When Dolby Pro Logic II is activated, the
indicator lights up on the display.
PLII MOVIE:Suitable for playing any Dolby Surround
encoded software. You can enjoy a sound field
very close to the one created with discrete 5.1channel sounds.
PLII MUSIC:Suitable for playing any 2-channel stereo
software. You can enjoy wide and deep sounds.
28
2
DTS*
DTS is another digital signal compression method, developed by
Digital Theater Systems, Inc., and enables multi-channel encoding
and decoding (1ch up to 6.1ch).
• When DTS signal is detected through the digital input, the
indicator lights up on the display.
DTS Digital Surround
DTS Digital Surround (DTS SURROUND) is another discrete
5.1-channel digital audio format available on CD, LD, and DVD
software.
Compared to Dolby Digital, the DTS Digital Surround format has a
lower audio compression rate which enables it to add breadth and
depth to the sounds reproduced. As such, DTS Digital Surround
features natural, solid, and clear sound.
Another multi-channel digital encoding format introduced by Digital
Theater Systems, Inc. is DTS Extended Surround (DTS-ES).
It greatly improves the 360-degree surround impression and space
expression by adding the third surround channel—surround back
channel.
DTS-ES includes two signal formats with different surround signal
recording methods—DTS-ES Discrete 6.1ch and DTS-ES Matrix
6.1ch.
• You can use Virtual Surround Back (see page 25) when playing
back DTS-ES software. This function creates the great surround
effect from the behind as if you have connected the surround back
speakers.
DTS 96/24
In recent years, there has been increasing interest in higher sampling
rates both for recording and for reproducing at home. Higher
sampling rates allow wider frequency range and greater bit depths
provide extended dynamic range.
DTS 96/24 is a multi-channel digital signal format (fs 96 kHz/24
bits) introduced by Digital Theater Systems, Inc. to deliver “betterthan-CD sound quality” into the home.
• When DTS 96/24 signal is detected, the
lights up. You can enjoy its 5.1-channel sound with full-quality.
indicator
What is Linear PCM?
Uncompressed digital audio data used for DVDs, CDs and Video
CDs.
DVDs support 2 channels with sampling rates of 48/96 kHz, at
quantization of 16/20/24 bits. On the other hand, CDs and Video
CDs are limited to 2 channels with 44.1 kHz at 16 bits.
• When Linear PCM signal is detected, the
indicator lights up.
What is Dual Mono?
Dual Mono can be easily understood when you think of the
bilingual broadcast or the MTS (Multichannel Television Sound)
format used for TV programs (however, the Dual Mono format
is not identical with those analog formats).
This format is now adopted in Dolby Digital, DTS, and so on. It
allows two independent channels (called main channel and subchannel) to be recorded separately.
• When Dual Mono signal is detected, the
indicator
lights up. You can select either channel you want to listen to
(see page 24).
When using the Surround mode, the sounds come out of the
activated speakers which the Surround mode requires.
• If either the surround speakers or center speaker is set to “NONE”
in the speaker setting, the corresponding channel signals are
allocated to and emitted through the front speakers.
• If both the surround speakers and center speaker are set to
“NONE” in the speaker setting, JVC’s original 3D-PHONIC
processing (which has been developed to create the surround
effect through the front speakers only) is used. The 3D-PHONIC
indicator lights up on the display.
3D Headphone Mode—3D H PHONE
If you activate Surround when the front speakers are deactivated,
3D Headphone Mode is activated without respect to the type of
software played back. “3D H PHONE” appears on the display
and the DSP and H.PHONE indicators also light up.

Reproducing the Sound Field
The sound heard in a concert hall, club, etc. consists of direct sound
and indirect sound—early reflections and reflections from behind.
Direct sounds reach the listener directly without any reflection. On
the other hand, indirect sounds are delayed by the distances of the
ceiling and walls. These direct sounds and indirect sounds are the
most important elements of the acoustic surround effects.
DSP modes can create these important elements, and give you a real
“being there” feeling.
