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.

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.

STRUCTURE OF VIDEO-CD DISCS

Depending on the material on the disc (a movie, video clips, a drama series, etc.), these discs may have one or more tracks, and tracks may have one or more indexes, as indicated on the disc case. To make access easy and convenient, your player lets you move between tracks and between indexes.

ABOUT AUDIO CD

STRUCTURE OF AUDIO CD

Audio CDs contain music tracks only. You can play them in conventional style through a stereo system, using the keys on the remote control and/or front panel.

ABOUT MP3/WMA

MP3 is the compressed music file in MPEG1, Audio Layer 3 format. A WMA(Windows Media Audio) file is a Microsoft audio compression technology. WMA offers double the audio compression of the MP3 format.

Microsoft, Windows Media, and the Windows Logo are trademarks or registered trademarks of Microsoft Corporation in both the United States and other countries.

MP3/WMA PLAYBACK

• This player can play MP3/WMA discs recorded in ISO9660 format.

• The player plays the files with “.mp3/.WMA” extension only.

• The maximum file number in a disc is 650. (Including the number of folders.)

• The maximum folder layer number is 8.

• When playing a MP3/WMA disc, it may take more than 30 seconds depending on the number of files and folder layer structure.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

The glossy side shining like a rainbow is the front side of the disc, and the side on which the label is printed is the back. Unlike conventional turntables for playing analog discs, the ER2500 reads the information recorded on the disc from underneath without contacting it using a beam of laser light. Therefore, the performance of a compact disc will not degrade like conventional analog records.

Handle discs carefully so as not to damage or scratch the front side.

To protect the disc, avoid placing it in the following locations:

• In direct sunlight or near a source of heat like a heater.

• In a place which is damp or dirty.

• In a place which could be exposed to rain, such as near a window.

Always keep the disc surface clean.

When cleaning the disc surface, always be sure to use a special compact disc cleaner and wipe as shown below.

• Do not use conventional record cleaner for analog records, as this will adversely affect the disc surface. Store discs properly by placing them in their disc cases.

This is done by keying in a 3digit code or by scanning the codes until the correct one is found. We recommend to using the 3-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.

•

If the battery life of remote controller is program code will be reset from a memory.
