to 5.1 channels of independent digital audio for better sound quality and
ENGLISH
more powerful presence than conventional Dolby Surround. As for Dolby
Digital EX, it creates six full-bandwidth output channels from the 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 result,
Dolby Digital EX should be used with movie soundtracks recorded with
Dolby Digital Surround EX.

CLUB”, THEATER”, STADIUM” and “DISCO”. It is compatible with
almost any kind of program source.
DVD 6-channel input
If you own a DVD player equipped with 6-channel output, this model
allows you to obtain the full surround sound impact of DVD source
material featuring multi-channel encoding. Since the source signals are
digital and each channel is input independently, the resulting ambience
is far superior to what can be achieved with conventional surround sound
systems.

RDS stations broadcasting different programs; station name display, to
show you the name of the current broadcast station; and PTY search to
let you tune stations by program type.
DTS and DTS-ES
DTS (Digital Theater System) is a 5.1 channel digital audio format that
provides five full-spectrum channels and one low-frequency (subwoofer)
channel for unprecedented clarity, optimum channel separation and a
(wide) dynamic range.
DTS-ES (Extended Surround) presents 6.1 channels surround system
with additional Surround back channel which evolved from the
conventional 5.1 channels surround system. DTS-ES format that was
recorded in DVD, CD or LD comprises of two modes. DTS-ES Discrete
6.1 produces the discrete surround back which is completely independent
and DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 produces the surround back which synthesized
within the left and right surround channels using matrix technology. DTSES has perfect compatibility with the conventional 5.1 channels surround
system. 6.1 channels surround with an additional surround back presents
a more natural presence and surround effects by increasing the impression
of the sound image from back.
important:
When a DTS disc is played on a CD, LD or DVD player, noise may be
output from the analog output. It is recommended that you connect the
digital output of the player to the digital input of this unit.
Neo:6
Neo:6 is a new technology which was developed by DTS. It can produce
high grade 6 channels surround with an astonishing fidelity from 2
channels content. Neo:6 has 2 modes, “CINEMA” mode is for movie
playback and “MUSIC” mode is for music playback.

Setting up the system
Make connections as shown in the following pages.
When connecting the related system components, be
sure to refer to the instruction manuals supplied with
the components you are connecting.
Do not connect the power cord to a wall outlet until all
connections are completed.
Notes
1. Be sure to insert all connection cords securely. If their connections are
imperfect, the sound may not be produced or there will be noise
interference.
2. Be sure to remove the power cord from the AC outlet before plugging
or unplugging any connection cords. Plugging/unplugging connection
cords without disconnecting the power cord can cause malfunctions
and may damage the unit.
3. Do not connect power cords from components whose power
consumption is larger than what is indicated on the AC outlet at the
rear of this unit.
Analog connections
Audio connections are made using RCA pin cords. These cables transfer
stereo audio signal in an “analog” form. This means the audio signal
corresponds to the actual audio of two channels. These cables usually
have 2 plugs at each end, red for the right channel and white for the left
channel. These cables are usually packed together with the source unit,
or are available at your local electronics retailer.
Microcomputer malfunction
If operation is not possible or an erroneous display appears, even
though all connections have been made properly, reset the
microcomputer by referring to “In case of difficulty”.°

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 model lets you enjoy Dolby Digital (and
Dolby Surround) program sources, even if you connect only the front
speakers.
). Compared with
Dolby Digital EX
Dolby Digital EX is an extension of Dolby Digital technology, Dolby
Digital EX creates six full-bandwidth output channels from 6.1channel sources. This is done using a matrix decoder that derives
three surround channels from the two in the original recording.
This is achieved by using three different surround signals, surround
left, surround right, and surround back, each driving its own array of
speakers. Think of it as adding a center channel for the rear speakers,
which give more diffuse and natural surround effect, even if you
wanted the ability to completely encircle the audience with sound,
positioning sound effects exactly where they would be heard in real
life. For best results, Dolby Digital EX should be used with movie
soundtracks recorded with Dolby Digital Surround EX which contain
a digital flag that will automatically activate this feature. However, for
titles released prior to late 2001, this feature has to be activated
manually.
Although a full set of speakers (front left, right, and center, surround
left and right, surround back and a subwoofer) is required for true 6.1
channel Dolby Digital Surround EX sound, this model lets you enjoy
Dolby Digital (and Dolby Surround) program sources, even if you
connect only the front speakers.
Although only Dolby Digital soundtracks incorporate a separate low
frequency channel, connecting a subwoofer will also improve deep
bass performance in the other surround modes.
Dolby Digital has a “.1” or LFE channel.
The indication “LFE” appears in the display when a signal is being
input for this channel.¢
Dolby PRO LOGIC IIx and Dolby PRO LOGIC
Dolby Pro Logic II was designed specifically to provide a new sense
of spatiality, directionality and articulation of sounds from Dolby
Surround encoded sources (such as video and Laserdisc software
marked
feedback logic design, a matrix surround decoding and the decoding
of stereo, full bandwidth surround outputs.
DOLBY PRO LOGIC IIx enhanced DOLBY PRO LOGICII’s features.
It creates 6.1 channel and 7.1 channel surround sound from stereo or
5.1 channel signals. This feature provides you an astonishing ambience
effect which makes you feel you are surrounded by natural sound.
Especially 7.1 channel surround sound can produce real back sound
from Surround Back speakers.
The PRO LOGICIIx modes programmed into this model are “MOVIE”,
“MUSIC” and “GAME”. The PRO LOGIC II modes programmed into
this model are “MOVIE”, “MUSIC”, “GAME” and “PRO LOGIC”.
The “MOVIE” mode has preset characteristics to produce a calibrated,
high-level surround sound playback while the “MUSIC” mode has
user-adjustable characteristics to offer the three optional controls,
like “Dimension”, “Center Width” and “Panorama” modes to allow
optimization of the soundfields as desired. The “Dimension” control
allows the user to gradually adjust the soundfield either towards the
front or towards the rear; the “Center Width” control allows various
adjustment of the left-center-right speakers’ balance; the “Panorama”
mode extends the front stereo image to include the surround speakers
for an exciting “wraparound” effect with side wall imaging.
The “GAME” mode provides surrounded and exciting sound when
you enjoy game or TV. Especially in PRO LOGICIIx “GAME” mode,
base sound not only from Front and Center but also from Surround
channel is added to Subwoofer. This provides even more dynamic
surround effects.

DTS-ES
DTS-ES (Digital Theater System-Extended Surround) presents 6.1
channels surround system with additional Surround Back channel
which evolved from the conventional 5.1 channels surround system.
DTS-ES format that was recorded in DVD, CD or LD comprises of two
modes. DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 produces the discrete surround back
which is completely independent and DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 produces
the surround back which synthesised within the left and right surround
channels using matrix technology. DTS-ES has perfect compatibility
with the conventional 5.1 channels surround system. 6.1 channels
surround with an additional surround back presents a more natural
presence and surround effects by increasing the impression of the
sound image from back. Programs which are recorded using DTS-ES
technology consist of information flags which will be able to control
the Discrete and Matrix mode. Thus, it can automatically select the
best matched mode.
Neo:6
Neo:6 is a new technology which was developed by DTS. It can
produce high grade 6 channels surround with an astonishing fidelity
from 2 channels content. Neo:6 has 2 modes, “CINEMA” mode is for
movic playback and “MUSIC” mode 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 this channel.¢
DTS
The DTS multi-channel audio format is available on CD, LD and DVD
software. DTS is a 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
playing the digital output as described below should be taken to
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 models are incorporated with the DTS decoder.
DTS has a “.1” or LFE channel.
The indication “LFE” appears in the display when a signal is being
input for this channel.¢
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 trying the ARENA, JAZZ CLUB,
THEATER, STADIUM or DISCO mode the next time you watch a
concert or sporting event!
What's DSP?
DSP stands for Digital Signal Processor.
The way a sound is heard in an actual environment depends on a
variety of different factors. One of the most important is reverberation
(the act of decaying elements 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.
DVD 6-channel mode
Using a DVD player or the like equipped with six (5.1) output channels
and this model, you can enjoy multi-channel encoded DVD source
material in all its splendor. Since the source signals are digital and
each channel is input independently, the resulting sound quality,
sense of spaciousness, and dynamic range are superb.
The indication “6CH INPUT” appears in the display during DVD 6channel mode selection.
