What are LISTEN modes?
You can experience true home-theater sound with your new system. This system incorporates several listen modes to let you enjoy surround sound with a wide variety of program sources. Each produces multiple channels of surround-sound, but each does it differently.
Dolby Digital: Dolby Digital uses an encode/decode process based on its theatrical digital surround sound technology. The five main channels are full-frequency and independent, so sound can completely envelop you or soar anywhere in the room, just like at the movies.
Compared with Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Digital has more clarity, greater surround envelopment, and more realistic sound movement between channels.
Dolby Pro Logic/Dolby Pro Logic II: Dolby Pro Logic reproduces a surround sound like in a movie theater from Dolby Surround- encoded program source (videotape or LaserDisc software carrying the Dolby Surround logo), and features excellent sound movement on the front and a surrounding atmosphere of movie theaters. Meanwhile, Dolby Pro Logic II decodes a signal encoded in 2 channels into 5-channel signals composed of the left/right front signals, center signal and surround left/right signals.
Dolby Pro Logic II is an advanced version of the decoding technology used with Dolby Pro Logic. It inputs 2-channel signals from a Dolby Surround-encoded source and reproduces 5-channel signals in which the surround channel is divided into independent channels for the left and right. Dolby Pro Logic II has the MOVIE mode and MUSIC mode, and the MUSIC mode enables independent adjustment of three parameters including Panorama mode, Dimension and Center Width.
DTS : DTS has five full-frequency channels that create effects nearly identical to those in a theater. Sounds seem to zoom from one place to another or entirely surround you. Like Dolby Digital, DTS has much-improved clarity, surround and sound movement capability compared with Dolby Pro Logic. This listen mode is available on CD, LD, and DVD media. DTS is a strictly digital format that can be supplied only by a CD, LD, or DVD player that supports DTS sound.
DSP (Digital Signal Processing): DSP allows you to create your own custom surround sound environments and use them with any source (except Dolby Digital and DTS). You can select the ambience of an ARENA, JAZZ CLUB, THEATER, STADIUM or DISCO to your taste.
SRS CS II (Circle Surround II): Circle Surround II™ improves on its predecessor Circle Surround (CS-5.1) by enabling you to experience powerful multi-channel surround sound playback from mono, stereo or Dolby Surround encoded audio and video sources. You already enjoy listening to Dolby Digital and DTS multi-channel sound through your multiple speakers. Now, with CS II you can also listen to audio CDs, MDs, television and radio broadcasts in full surround sound. You will discover a new type of sound experience through SRS Circle Surround II.
The CS system dramatically reduces storage space requirements for multi-channel content. It creates a listening environment that places the listener inside music performances, and dramatically improves both hi-fi audio and conventional surround encoded video material. In addition, the CS II decoder includes patented SRS Dialog Clarity Enhancement and TruBass technologies. When translated over home theater, dialog mixed for the cinema may become difficult to understand and SRS Dialog Clarity solves this problem by improving dialog clarity, even when playing back Dolby Digital or DTS sources. TruBass creates rich, deep bass in small speaker systems without the need for a subwooder.
Stereo: Stereo listen mode provides standard stereo sound to the front left and right speakers.

DTS disclaimer clause
DTS Digital Surround is a discrete 5.1 channel digital audio format available on CD, LD, and DVD software which consequently cannot be decoded and played back inside most CD, LD, or DVD players. For this reason, when DTS-encoded software is played back through the analog outputs of the CD, LD, or DVD player, excessive noise will be exhibited. To avoid possible damage to the audio system, proper precautions should be taken by the consumer if the analog outputs are connected directly to an amplification system. To enjoy DTS Digital Surround playback, an external 5.1 channel DTS Digital Surround decoder system must be connected to the digital output (S/P DIF, AES/EBU, or TosLink) of the CD, LD or DVD player. This unit is equipped with DTS Digital Surround decoder.

÷ Never add the MP3 extension log to any files other than MP3 files. If the MP3 extension log is added to any files
other than MP3 files, the equipment will assume that they can be played back, and this will produce loud noises in the speakers, resulting in damage of adverse effects.
Confirming media and files
Check to ascertain that MP3 files can be played back correctly on the personal computer in use prior to saving them onto the media. Check to ensure that the saved file can be played back normally.
÷ It is not possible to confirm that files can be played back correctly while they are being saved onto the media.

Menus : This sets the initial setup of language as well as the language used in on-screen messages such as PLAY”.
Rating : This can restrict playback of adult-oriented DVD discs that you do not want to be seen by children.
However, even when a DVD disc is marked Adult-oriented or so on the label, its viewing cannot be restricted unless the restriction level is recorded in the disc itself.
Password : The password for rating setting, change, cancellation, etc. is set.
TV Aspect : This sets the screen size (4:3 or 16:9 aspect ratio) according to the connected TV.
÷ 4 x 3 letterbox : Choose this setting if you would prefer to see movies in their original aspect ratio. You will see the entire
frame of the movie, but it will occupy a smaller portion of the screen. This setting may result in the movie appearing with black bars at the top and bottom of the screen.
÷ 4 x 3 Pan Scan : Choose this setting if you want the movie to fill the entire screen of your TV. You won’t see part of the picture
(particularly the right and left edge). Some disc produced in a wide screen format cant be cropped in this fashion, which means the black bars would appear at the top and the bottom of the screen.
