DESCRIPTION

DTS was introduced in 1994 to provide 5.1 channels
of discrete digital audio into home theater systems.
DTS brings you premium quality discrete
multichannel digital sound to both movies and music.
DTS is a multichannel sound system designed to
create full range digital sound reproduction.
The no compromise DTS digital process sets the
standard of quality for cinema sound by delivering
an exact copy of the studio master recordings to
neighborhood and home theaters.
Now, every moviegoer can hear the sound exactly
as the moviemaker intended.
DTS can be enjoyed in the home for either movies
or music on of DVD’s, LD’s, and CD’s.

“DTS” and “DTS Digital Surround” are registered
trademarks of Digital Theater Systems, Inc.

The advantages of discrete multichannel systems
over matrix are well known.
But even in homes equipped for discrete
multichannel, there remains a need for high-quality
matrix decoding. This is because of the large library
of matrix surround motion pictures available on disc
and on VHS tape; and analog television broadcasts.
The typical matrix decoder of today derives a
center channel and a mono surround channel from
two-channel matrix stereo material. It is better than
a simple matrix in that it includes steering logic to
improve separation, but because of its mono,
band-limited surround it can be disappointing to
users accustomed to discrete multichannel.

Neo:6 offers several important improvements as
follow,

• Neo:6 provides up to six full-band channels of
matrix decoding from stereo matrix material.
Users with 6.1 and 5.1 systems will derive six
and five separate channels, respectively,
corresponding to the standard home-theater
speaker layouts.

•

Neo:6 technology allows various sound elements
within a channel or channels to be steered
separately, and in a way which follows naturally
from the original presentation.

•

Neo:6 offers a music mode to expand stereo
nonmatrix recordings into the five- or six-channel
layout, in a way which does not diminish the subtlety
and integrity of the original stereo recording.

DTS-ES Extended Surround is a new multichannel
digital signal format developed by Digital Theater
Systems Inc. While offering high compatibility with
the conventional DTS Digital Surround format,
DTS-ES Extended Surround greatly improves the
360-degree surround impression and space
expression thanks to further expanded surround
signals. This format has been used professionally
in movie theaters since 1999.
In addition to the 5.1 surround channels (FL, FR, C,
SL, SR and LFE), DTS-ES Extended Surround
also offers the SB (Surround Back) 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 DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 and DTS-ES
Matrix 6.1.

“DTS”, “DTS-ES” and “Neo:6” are trademarks of
Digital Theater Systems, Inc.

The stereo CD is a 16-bit medium with sampling at

44.1 kHz. Professional audio has been 20- or 24­bit for some time, and there is increasing interest in
higher sampling rates both for recording and for
delivery into the home. Greater bit depths provide
extended dynamic range. Higher sampling rates
allow wider frequency response and the use of
anti-alias and reconstruction filters with more
favorable aural characteristics.

DTS 96/24 allows for 5.1channel sound tracks to
be encoded at a rate of 96kHz/24bits on DVD­Video titles.
When DVD-video appeared, it became possible to
deliver 24-bit, 96 kHz audio into the home, but only
in two channels, and with serious limitations on
picture. This capability has had little use.
DVD-audio allows 96/24 in six channels, but a new
player is needed, and only analog outputs are
provided, necessitating the use of the D/A
converters and analog electronics provided in the
player.

DTS 96/24 offers the following:

1. Sound quality transparent to the original 96/24
master.

Full backward compatibility with all existing

2.
decoders. (Existing decoders will output a 48 kHz
signal)

3.No new player required: DTS 96/24 can be
carried on DVD-video, or in the video zone of
DVD-audio, accessible to all DVD players.

4. 96/24 5.1-channel sound with full-quality full­motion video, for music programs and motion
picture soundtracks on DVD-video.

Theater Systems, Inc.

Dolby Digital identifies the use of Dolby Digital
audio coding for such consumer formats as DVD
and DTV. As with film sound, Dolby Digital can
provide up to five full-range channels for left,
center, and right screen channels, independent left
and right surround channels, and a sixth (“.1”)
channel for low-frequency effects.

Dolby Surround Pro Logic II is an improved matrix
decoding technology that provides better spatiality
and directionality on Dolby Surround program
material; provides a convincing three-dimensional
soundfield on conventional stereo music
recordings; and is ideally suited to bring the
surround experience to automotive sound. While
conventional surround programming is fully
compatible with Dolby Surround Pro Logic II
decoders, soundtracks will be able to be encoded
specifically to take full advantage of Pro Logic II
playback, including separate left and right
surround channels. (Such material is also
compatible with conventional Pro Logic decoders.)

Dolby Digital EX creates six full-bandwidth output
channels from 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 results, Dolby Digital EX should be used
with movies soundtracks recorded with Dolby
Digital Surround EX.

About Dolby Pro Logic

Dolby Pro Logic II x technology delivers a natural
and immersing 7.1-channel listening experience to
the home theater environment. A product of
Dolby’s expertise in surround sound and matrix
decoding technologies, Dolby Pro Logic II x is a
complete surround sound solution that maximizes
the entertainment experience from stereo as well
as 5.1-channel encoded sources.

II x

Dolby Pro Logic II x is fully compatible with Dolby
Surround Pro Logic technology and can optimally
decode the thousands of commercially available
Dolby Surround encoded video cassettes and
television programs with enhanced depth and
spatiality. It can also process any high-quality
stereo or Advanced Resolution 5.1-channel music
content into a seamless 6.1- or 7.1-channel
listening experience.

The Dolby Headphone technology provides a
surround sound listening experience over headphones.
When listening to multichannel content such as
DVD movies over headphones, the listening
experience is fundamentally different than
listening to speakers. Since the headphone
speaker drivers are covering the pinna of the ear,
the listening experience differs greatly from
traditional speaker playback. Dolby utilizes
patented headphone perspective curves to solve
this problem and provides a non-fatiguing,
immersive, home theater listening experience.
Dolby Headphone also delivers exceptional 3D
audio from stereo material.

Circle Surround II (CS-II ) is a powerful and
versatile multichannel technology. CS-II is
designed to enable up to 6.1 multichannel
surround sound playback from mono, stereo, CS
encoded sources and other matrix encoded
sources. In all cases the decoder extends it into 6
channels of surround audio and a LFE/subwoofer
signal. The CS-II decoder creates a listening
environment that places the listener “inside” music
performances and dramatically improves both hi-fi
audio conventional surround-encoded video
material. CS-II provides composite stereo rear
channels to greatly improve separation and image
positioning – adding a heightened sense of realism
to both audio and A/V productions.

CS-II is packed with other useful feature like dialog
clarity (SRS Dialog) for movies and cinema-like
bass enrichment (TruBass). CS-II can enable the
dialog to become clearer and more discernable in
movies and it enables the bass frequencies
contained in the original programming to more
closely achieve low frequencies – overcoming the
low frequency limitations of the speakers by full
octave.

HDCD® (High Definition Compatible Digital ®) is a
patented process for delivering on Compact Disc
the full richness and details of the original
microphone feed.
HDCD encoded CDs sound better because they
are encoded with 20-bits of real musical
information as compared to 16-bits for all other
CDs.
HDCD overcomes the limitation of the 16-bit CD
format by using a sophisticated system to encode
the additional four bits onto the CD while remaining
completely compatible with the CD format.
When listening to HDCD recordings, you hear
more dynamic range, a focused 3-D sound stage,
and extremely natural vocal and musical timbre.
With HDCD, you get the body, depth and emotion
of the original performance not a flat, digital
imitation.

VIDEO IN/OUT (TV, DVD, VCR1, DSS/VCR2)

These are the video inputs and outputs. There are
4 video inputs and 2 video outputs and each one
includes both composite video and S-video
configurations. Connect VCRs, DVD players, and
other video components to the video inputs.
The 2 video output channels can be used to be
connected to video tape recorders for making
recordings.
The input signals of video and S-video are
converted each other, and each of the converted
video signals can be output.

w

FM antenna terminal (75 ohms)

Connect an external FM antenna with a coaxial
cable, or a cable network FM source.

AM antenna and ground terminals

Connect the supplied AM loop antenna. Use the
terminals marked “AM” and “GND”. The supplied
AM loop antenna will provide good AM reception in

RS-232C

most areas. Position the loop antenna until you
hear the best reception.

e

The RS-232C port is to be used in conjunction with
an external controller to control the operation of the
SR5600 by using an external device.

y

Preamp Outputs
(L, R, SL, SR, SBL, SBR, C)

Jacks for L(front left), R (front right), C (Center), SL
(surround left), SR (surround right), SBL (surround
back left) and SBR (surround back right).
Use these jacks for connection to external power
amplifiers.

u

AC INLET

Plug the supplied power cord into this AC INLET
and then into the power outlet on the wall.
SR5600 can be powered by 230V AC only.

i

AC OUTLETS

Connect the AC power cable of component such
as a DVD or CD player to this outlet.
The marked SWITCHED provides power only
when the SR5600 is turned on and is useful for
components which you use every time you play
your system.

Caution:

• In order to avoid potential turn-off thumps,
anything plugged into these outlets should be
powered up before the SR5600 is turned on.

r

COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT/OUTPUT

If your DVD player or other device has component
video connectors, be sure to connect them to
these component video connectors on the
SR5600. The SR5600 has two component video
input connectors to obtain the color information (Y,
CB, CR) directly from the recorded DVD signal or
other video component and one component video
output connector to output it directly into the matrix
decoder of the display device.
By sending the pure DVD component video signal
directly, the DVD signal forgoes the extra
processing that normally would degrade the
image. The result is vastly increased image
quality, with incredibly life like colors and crisp
detail.
When the video convert function is enabled, video
and S-video images can be output to the
COMPONENT MOINTOR OUT jack.

t

MONITOR OUT

This is a monitor output and each one includes
both composite video and S-video configurations.
When connecting two video monitors or
televisions, be aware that the OSD interface can
be used with both MONITOR OUT connections.

• The capacity of this AC outlet is 100W. Do not
connect devices that consume electricity more
than the capacity of these AC outlet. If the total
power consumption of the connected devices
exceeds the capacity, the protection circuit shuts
down the power supply.

o

PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE
CONTROLLER

The remote controller RC5500SR must be
programmed to use the codes for your appliances
of different brands. This is done by keying in a 4­digit code or by scanning the codes until the
correct one is found. We recommend to using the
4-digit code. This mode is faster and more reliable.
The code scanning method should be used only if
you cannot find the code for one of your
appliances. The codes are listed at the end of this
book.

Important:

•

Use the remote control buttons for programming,
not the buttons of the receiver or other appliances.

•

Some codes may be not match your equipment.
In this case, your equipment cannot be controlled
with this remote controller.

PROGRAMMING WITH THE 4-DIGIT CODE

SCANNING THE CODE TABLE
