Features
This digital sound projector is a totally new product unlike conventional home theater systems. It produces multi­channel surround sound from a single speaker array, without the need for numerous speaker settings and wiring hassles. The following section introduces the features that enable the PDSP-1 to produce its remarkable new sound.
1. Beam control technology
254 individually driven speaker units are arranged in an array on a single panel, and the directionally controlled audio from this array is radiated in a beam. The sound of each channel radiated in this beam utilizes the reflectivity of ceiling and walls to produce multi-channel sound.
Audio beam image
The accompanying illustration depicts the way in which the sound beam radiated from the PDSP-1 arrives at the listening position. In this way, surround sound is produced that totally envelops the listener.

2. Sound settings to match your room’s characteristics
The professional installation technician uses a special metering microphone and computer to set up the unit with the optimum sound response and characteristics for your room. Since multiple sound settings are possible for any room, this unit makes it possible for you to call up preset sound environments to change the sound field in accordance with listening conditions.
3. Equipped with Dolby Digital and Pro Logic II, Digital Theater System (DTS) Decoder
In addition to Dolby Digital – the DVD video standard audio format – this unit also supports Dolby Pro Logic II, which allows you to play 2-channel sources with multi-channel ambience, and DTS, which produces high sound quality with low compression ratios and high transmission rates. These features allow you to enjoy multi-channel movie-theater ambience inside your own home.

About the Input/Output Connectors
Caution:
Before making or changing the connections, switch off the power and disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet.
Audio output (OUTPUT OPTICAL connector)
Use to connect MD recorders, CD recorders and other digital recording components. These connectors output the digital signals from inputs 1 to 4.
Video outputs (MONITOR OUTPUT connectors)
Use to connect a television monitor or other video component.
Note:
The selection of S or composite connectors should match the selection on the signal input side. (If an S2 video input is used, use the S output connector; if the input is composite, use the composite output connector as well).
SUB WOOFER OUTPUT connectors
Up to two sub-woofers can be connected.
Note:
Sub-woofers reproduce very low-frequency sound; coupled with the LFE (Low-Frequency Effect) channels encoded in Dolby digital and DTS audio sources, these speakers produce sounds effects which heighten the impact and realism of motion picture sound tracks and other sources.
