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.

2.

Full backward compatibility with all existing
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.

Laboratories. “Dolby”, “Pro Logic”, and the double­D symbol are trademarks of Dolby Laboratories.

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.

FEATURES

By simply plugging the power cables of the ZR6001 and ZC4001 into ordinary home electrical outlets, the ZR6001 sends audio sources over your home electrical
line for playback by the ZC4001.

PLC (POWER LINE COMMUNICATION)

The ZR6001* converts analog audio signals into noncompressed linear PCM digital signals, modulates them into high frequency signals, and sends them over
power lines. The ZC4001 demodulates the sent signals and converts them back to analog signals.

* If the condition of the power line degenerates because of the effects of noise from other devices or for other reasons, the ZR6001 uses an audio format of

different sampling rate and data bit length.

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
ZR6001. The ZR6001 has two component video
input connectors to obtain the color information (Y,

B

C

, 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.

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
guide. (SET UP CODES FOR REMOTE
CONTROLLER RC5500SR)

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.

Notes:

• The ZR6001 sends audio data to the ZC4001 over power lines. Therefore, if the condition of the power line
degenerates seriously because of the effects of noise from other devices or for other reasons, audio data may
not be received or may skip.

• If the distance of the power line between the ZR6001 and ZC4001 is very long, audio data may not be received
or may skip.

• At the time of purchase, all ZC4001 and ZR6001 are set to the same Group ID. If used with this same Group
ID, you risk having your music listened into by others. Therefore, set the Group ID as explained herein.

• If the following trouble is experienced, block PLC signals from other sources using a commercially available
power filter, etc.

When a ZC4001 and ZR6001 are connected over PLC, another ZR6001 cannot be added to the same power
line and connected over PLC. In this case, PLC signals are not sent.

If a ZR6001 and ZC4001 are connected over PLC in a nearby apartment unit for example, and there is only
a short distance between your apartment and your neighbor’s, the PLC signals from your neighbor’s
apartment can travel over power lines to your place, mix with your system, and prevent audio output.

When the ZR6001 and ZC4001 are connected via the PLC, the ZC4001 can control other brand product.
Other brand product is controlled by remote control signals sent from an emitter connected to the IR
EMITTER OUT terminals of the ZR6001 to the IR sensor of the source unit.
To control other brand’s output, an IR code must be set. If the IR code of the source is unknown, the IR
code learning feature must be used.

SPEAKER PLACEMENT

The ideal surround speaker system for this unit is
7-speaker systems, using front left and right
speakers, a center speaker, surround left and right
speakers, a surround back left and right speakers,
and a subwoofer.
For best results we recommend that all front
speakers be of the same type, with identical or
similar driver units. This will deliver smooth pans
across the front sound stage as the action moves
from side to side.
Your center channel speaker is very important as
over 80% of the dialog from a typical motion
picture emanates from the center channel.
It should possess similar sonic characteristics to
the main speakers. Surround channel speakers
need not be identical to the front channel
speakers, but they should be of high quality.
The surround center speaker is useful for playback

Surround left and right speakers

When the ZR6001 is used in surround operation,
the preferred location for surround speakers is on
the side walls of the room, at or slightly behind the
listening position.
The center of the speaker should face into the
room.

Surround back left and right speakers

Surround back speakers are required when a full

7.1-channel system is installed.
Speakers should be placed on a rear wall, behind
the listening position.
The center of the speaker should face into the
room.

Subwoofer

We recommend using a sub-woofer to have
maximum bass effect. Sub-woofer bears only low
frequency range so you can place it any where in
the room.

ENGLISH

of Dolby Digital Surround EX or DTS-ES. One of
the benefits of both Dolby Digital and DTS is that
surround channels are discrete full range, while
they were frequency limited in earlier “Pro Logic’
type systems.
Bass effects are an important part of home theater.
For optimal enjoyment a subwoofer should be
used as it is optimized for low frequency

There are 3 types of video jacks on the rear panel.

VIDEO jack

The video signal for the VIDEO jacks is the
conventional composite video signal.

S-VIDEO jack

The video signal is separated into luminance (Y)
and color (C) signals for the S-VIDEO jack. The S­VIDEO signals enables high-quality color
reproduction. If your video component has an S­VIDEO output, we recommend to use it. Connect
the S-VIDEO output jack on your video component
to the S-VIDEO input jack on this unit.

Component jack

Make component video connections to a TV or
monitor with component inputs to produce higher
quality video images. Use a component video
cable or 3 video cords to connect the component
video out jacks on the ZR6001 to the monitor.

Notes:

•

Be sure to connect the left and right audio channels
properly.

Red connectors are for the R (right) channel, and
white connectors are the for L (left) channel.

• Be sure to connect the inputs and outputs of the
video signals properly.

• If you connect the S-VIDEO or component signal
to the S-VIDEO or component jack on this unit, it
is not necessary to connect the conventional video
signal to the VIDEO (composite) jack. If you use
both video inputs, this unit gives priority to the S­VIDEO signal.

• Each type of video jack works independently.
Signals input to the VIDEO (composite) and S­VIDEO jacks or component are output to the
corresponding VIDEO (composite) and S-VIDEO
or component jacks, respectively.

• This unit has the “TV-AUTO ON/OFF” function
to turn the TV ON or OFF automatically, by
sensing the incoming video signal from the
VIDEO jacks.

• You may need to setup the digital audio output
format of your DVD player, or other digital source
components. Refer to the instructions of the each
component connected to the digital input jacks.

• There is no Dolby Digital RF input jack. Please
use an external RF demodulator with a Dolby
Digital decoder to connect a video disc player
which has a Dolby Digital RF output jack to the
digital input jack on this unit.

Connecting the supplied FM antenna

The supplied FM antenna is for indoor use only.
During use, extend the antenna and move it in
various directions until the clearest signal is received.
Fix it with push pins or similar implements in the
position that will cause the least amount of distortion.
If you experience poor reception quality, an
outdoor antenna may improve the quality.

outdoor antenna may improve the quality.
