Surround modes

Dolby Digital

The Dolby Digital surround format lets y o u e n jo y u p to 5.1 channels of digital surround sound from Dolby Digital program sources (such as Laserdisc or DVD software marked

). C ompared with previous Dolby surround, Dolby Digital provides even better sound quality, greater spatial accuracy, and improved dynami c range.

Although a full set of speakers (front left, right, and center, surround left and right, and a subwoofer) is required for true 5.1 channel Dolby Digital surround sound, this receiver lets you enjoy Dolby Digital (and Dolby Surround) program sources, even if you connect only the front speakers.

Ambience effects

Note *LFE = Low Frequency Effects. This channel delivers separate nondirectional bass signa ls to the subwoofer for more dynamic deep bass sound ef fects.

DTS

The DTS multi-channel audio format is available on CD, LD and DVD software. DTS is strictly digital format and cannot be decoded inside most CD, LD or DVD players. For this reason. If you attempt to listen to DTS encoded software through the analog output of your new CD, LD or DVD player, you will experience digital noise in most cases. This noise can be quite loud if the analog output is connected directly to a high power amplification system . Proper measures for pl aying t he digital out put as described below should b e taken t o avoid this situation . To enjoy DTS Digital Surround playback, an external 5.1 channel DTS Digital Surround decoder system or an amplifier with a built-in DTS Digital Surround decoder must be connected to the digital output (S/P DIF, AES/EBU or TosLink) of a CD, LD or DVD player. All mod e ls are incorpo rat e d w i th t h e D TS decoder.

Note *LFE = Low Frequency Effects. This channel delivers separate nondirectional bass signa ls to the subwoofer for more dynamic deep bass sound ef fects. DTS has a .1 or LFE channel. The indication “ LFE” appears in t he dis play when a signal is being input for t h is c h annel.

Dolby PRO LOGIC II

Dolby Pro Logic II was designed specifically to provide a new sense of spatialit y, direct ionality and articulati on of sounds f rom Dolby Surround encoded sources (such as video and Laserdisc software marked

). T his is a chieved with an intelligent, built-in feedback logic design, a matrix surround decoding and the decoding of stereo, full bandwidth surround outputs. The PRO LOGIC

Dolby Digital EX

Dolby Digit al EX is an extension of D olby Digital technolo gy, D olby Digital EX creates six full-bandwidth output channels from 6.1-channel sources. This is done u sing a m atri x de cod er that derives three surround channels from the t w o i n the original recording. This is achieved by using th ree diff erent surround sign als, Left Surround , Right Surround, and Back Surround, each driving its ow n array of speakers. Think of it as adding a cent e r c h annel for th e rear speakers, which give more diffuse and natural surround effect, even if you w ant ed t h e ability t o complet ely en circle t h e audience wit h sound, positioning sound effects exactly where they wolud be heard in real life. For best results, Dolby Di git al EX should be used w i t h movie s ound tracks recorded wit h Dol by D igital Surround EX which contain a digital fl ag that w ill autom atically activate t his f eature. However, for titles released prior to late 2001, this feature has to be activated manually.

Although a full set of speakers (front left and right, center, surround left and right, back surround and a subwoofer) are required for true 6.1 channel Dolby Digital surround EX sound, this receiver lets you enjoy Dolby Digit al (and Dolby Surround) program so urces, even if y ou connect o n ly the front spe akers.

Although only Dolby Digital soundtracks incorporate a separa te low frequency channel, connecting a subwoofer will also improve deep bass performance in the other surroun d modes. The indication “LFE” appears in the display when a signal is being input for t h is c h annel.

DTS-ES

DTS-ES (Digital Theater System -Extended Surround) present s 6.1 channels surround syst em wit h addit ional Back Surround channe

which evolved from the conventional 5.1 channels surround system

DTS- E S format that was recorded in DVD, CD or LD comprises of two modes. DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 produ ce t he discr et e back surround w h ich i s completely independent and DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 pro duce s the back surround which synthesised within the left and right surround channels using matrix technology. DTS-ES has perfect compatibility w i th the con ven tional 5.1 channels surround system . 6.1 channels surround with an additional back surround present s a m o re n atura

presence and surround effe c ts by increasing the impression of the sound image from back. Progra ms which are recorded using DTS-E S technology consist of information flags which will be able to contro

the Disc r ete and Matrix mode. Thus, it can automatically select the best matched mode.

Neo:6

Neo:6 is a new t echno logy which was develop ed by DTS. It can produce high grade 6 channels surround with an astonishing fidelity from 2 channels content. Ne o:6 has 2 mode, "CINEMA" mode is for movie p layback and "MUSIC" mod e is for music playback.

DTS has a .1 or LFE channel. The indication “LFE” appears in the display when a signal is being input for t h is c h annel.

DSP mode

The DSP mode lets you add the atmosphere of a live concert or hall to almost any type of program source. These modes are particularly effective when used with stereo program sources, like CD, television, and FM radio. You might enjoy t rying t he ARENA, JAZZ CLUB, THEATER, STADIUM or DISCO mode t he ne xt t im e you watch a concert o r s p o rting event!

What' s DSP?

DSP stands for Digital Signal Processor. The way a sound is heard in an actual environm ent dep ends on a variety of different factors. One of the most important is reverberation (the act of decaying elemen ts of sound echoing in various places). The DSP modes produce the feeling of presence by using the DSP to create reverberation, without spoiling the sound quality of the original signal.
