DTS Neo : 6™ surround

This mode applies conventional 2-channel signals such as
digital PCM or analog stereo signals to the high precision
digital matrix decoder used for DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 to
achieve 6.1-channel surround playback. DTS Neo : 6
surround includes two modes for selecting the optimum
decoding for the signal source.

DTS Neo : 6 Cinema

This mode is optimum for playing movies. Decoding is
performed with emphasis on separation performance to
achieve the same atmosphere with 2-channel sources as
with 6.1-channel sources.

DTS Neo : 6 Music

This mode is suited mainly for playing music. The front left
and front right signals bypass the decoder and are played
directly so there is no loss of sound quality, and the effect
of the surround signals from the center, surround left,
surround right and surround back channels adds a natural
sense of expansion to the sound field.

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

Dolby Digital

Dolby Digital is the multi- channel digital signal format
developed by Dolby Laboratories. Discs bearing the
“ ” includes the recording of up to 5.1 channels of

digital signals, which can reproduce much better sound
quality, spatial expansion and dynamic range
characteristics than the previous Dolby Surround effect.

Dolby Digital EX

This mode creates the back (sometimes also referred to as
“surround center”) signals from the surround left and right
signals in Dolby Digital 5.1 channel source using a matrix
decoder and provides 6.1 channel surround playback. For
the best results, this mode should be selected during
playback of sources(bearing the “ ”) recorded in

Dolby Digital Surround EX. With this additional channel,
you can experience more dynamic and realistic moving
sound especially.
When Dolby Digital EX sources are decoded with a Dolby
Digital EX decoder, the format is automatically detected
upon decoding and the Dolby Digital EX mode is selected.
However, some Dolby Digital EX sources may be detected
as Dolby Digital sources. In this case, the Dolby Digital EX
mode should be selected manually to play these sources.

Before Operation

SURROUND SOUND

• This receiver incorporates a sophisticated Digital Signal Processor that allows you to create optimum sound
quality and sound atmosphere in your personal Home Theater.

DTS Digital Surround

DTS Digital Surround(also called simply DTS) is a multi­channel digital signal format which can handle higher data
rates than Dolby Digital. Although both Dolby Digital and
DTS are 5.1 channel formats, discs bearing the “ ”

are generally thought to provide better sound quality due to
the lower audio compression required.
It also provides wide dynamic range and separation,
resulting in magnificent sound.

DTS - ES Extended Surround™

()

This is a new multi channel digital signal format which
greatly improves the 360- degree surround impression and
space expression thanks to further expanded surround
signals, offering high compatibility with the conventional
DTS format.
In addition to the 5.1 channels, DTS-ES Extended
Surround also offers the surround back (sometimes also
referred to as “surround center”) 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 follows:

DTS-ES™ Discrete 6.1

Because the signals for 6.1 channels (including the surround
back channel) are fully independent, it is possible to achieve a
sense that the acoustic image are moving about freely among
the background sounds surrounding the listener from 360

degrees.
Though maximum performance is achieved when sound
tracks recorded with this system are played using a DTS -ES
decoder, when played with a conventional DTS decoder, the
surround back channel signals are automatically downmixed
to the surround left and surround right channels so that none
of the signal components are lost.

DTS - ES™ Matrix 6.1

With this format, the additional surround back channel signals
undergo matrix encoding and are input to the surround left and
surround right channels beforehand. During playback, they are
decoded to the surround left, surround right and surround back
channels.
Because the bit stream format is 100% compatible with
conventional DTS signals, the effect of the DTS-ES Matrix 6.1
format can be achieved even with DTS 5.1- channel signal
sources. Of course, it is possible to play DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 ­channel signal sources with a DTS 5.1 - channel decoder.
When DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 or Matrix 6.1 sources are decoded
with a DTS - ES decoder, the format is automatically detected
upon decoding and the optimum surround mode is selected.
However, some DTS - ES Matrix 6.1 sources may be
detected as DTS sources. In this case, the DTS - ES Matrix
mode should be selected manually to play these sources.

Surround modes

ENGLISH

The following modes apply conventional 2-channel signals such as digital PCM or analog stereo signals to high
performance Digital Signal Processor to recreate sound fields artificially. Select one of the twelve provided
surround modes according to the program source you want to play.

Theater

This mode provides the effect of being in a theater -in-the

round when watching a play.

Movie

This mode provides the effect of being in a movie theater

when watching a movie.

Hall 1/2

This mode provides the ambience of a chamber hall for

chamber music or an instrumental solo (Hall 1) or a

concert hall for orchestral music or an opera (Hall 2).

Stadium

This mode provides the expansive sound field to achieve

the true stadium effect when watching baseball or soccer

games.

Church

This mode provides the ambience of a church for

baroque, string orchestral or choral group music.

Club 1/2

low ceiling and hard walls (Club 1) or a live house with a
relatively spacious floor (Club 2).

Arena 1/2

This mode provides the feeling of a live concert in a
medium - sized (Arena 1) or large (Arena 2) arena.

Game

Use this mode to enjoy video game sources.

Matrix

This mode reproduces a delayed signals from the
surround channels to emphasize the sense of expansion
for music sources.

Dolby Pro Logic

Dolby Pro Logic is a specially encoded two channel

surround format which consists of four channels ( front left,

center, front right and surround). Sources bearing the

“ ” provide the theater-like surround sound.

The surround channel is monaural, but is played through

both surround speakers.

Dolby Pro Logic II surround

This mode applies conventional 2- channel signals such as

digital PCM or analog stereo signals as well as Dolby

Surround signals, etc. to surround processing to offer

improvements over conventional Dolby Pro Logic circuits.

Dolby Pro Logic II surround includes two modes as follows:

Dolby Pro Logic II Cinema

When enjoying movies, this mode allows you to further

enhance the cinematic quality by adding processing that

emphasizes the sounds of the action special effects.

Dolby Pro Logic II Music

When listening to music, this mode allows you to further

enhance the sound quality by adding processing that

emphasizes the musical effects.

Dolby Virtual

This mode employs sophisticated digital processing to
create the illusion of “phantom” speakers, this mode allows
you to experience surround sound effects from Dolby
Digital, Dolby Surround or 2-channel (recorded in digital
PCM or analog stereo) sources, through just a single pair
of front speakers.

MPEG Multichannel

This mode is a surround system which faithfully
reproduces the ambience and dynamics of movie
soundtracks and music alike. Though the number of audio
channels is 5.1 which is same as Dolby Digital, discs
bearing the “ ” provides much better at
locating individual sounds to the correct and stable position
in the sound stage.

When using the 7 CH DIRECT INPUTs to playback the
sound from an additional multichannel decoder for
surround sound, you can enjoy the corresponding surround
sound, too. For details, refer to the operating instructions of
the component to be connected.

Ideal speaker placement varies depending on the size of your room and
the wall coverings, etc. The typical example of speaker placement and
recommendations are as follows :

Front left and right speakers and center speaker

Place the front speakers with their front surfaces as flush with TV or
monitor screen as possible.
Place the center speaker between the front left and right speakers

and no further from the listening position than the front speakers.
Place each speaker so that sound is aimed at the location of the listener’s
ears when at the main listening position.

Surround left and right speakers

Place the surround speakers approximately 1 meter (40 inches) above
the ear level of a seated listener on the direct left and right of them or
slightly behind.

Surround back speaker

Place the surround back speaker at the rear center facing the front at a
slightly higher position (0 to 10 inches) than the surround speakers.
We recommend installing the surround back speaker at a slightly
downward facing angle. This effectively prevents the surround back
channel signals from reflecting off the TV or screen at the front center,
resulting in interference and making the sense of movement from the
front to the back less sharp.

Speaker placement

For your reference, the sound from each channel can be reproduced according to the surround modes as follows:

Depending on the speaker settings and the number of the encoded channels, the sound from the corresponding

channels cannot be reproduced.(For details, refer to “Adjusting the speaker settings” on page 19.)

• After you have installed this unit and connected all the components, you should adjust the speaker settings for the optimum
sound acoustics according to your environment and speaker layout.

Setting the type of speakers

The composition of the signals output from the different channels and the frequency reponse are adjusted automatically
according to the combination of speakers actually being used.

Adjusting the speaker settings

Select “Large” or “Small” not according to the actual size
of the speaker but according to the speaker’s capacity for
playing low frequency (bass sound below frequency set for
the Crossover Frequency mode and below) signals.

Large : Select this when connecting speakers that can

fully reproduce sounds below crossover
frequency(*) of your speaker.

Small : Select this when connecting speakers that cannot

fully reproduce sound below crossover frequency.
When this setting is selected, sound below
crossover frequency is assigned to the subwoofer
or speakers which are set to “Large”(when not
using a subwoofer).

None : Select this when no speakers are connected.

When this is selected, sound is sent to the front
speakers.

Yes / None : Select the desired depending on whether a

subwoofer is connected or not.

(*) : Crossover frequency is the frequency (Hz) below which the

bass sound of each main speakers is to output from the
subwoofer or from speakers which are set to “Large” (when not

using a subwoofer).
Refer to the operating instructions of the speakers to be connected.
If the frequency range of your speaker is 80 Hz ~ 12 KHz, the
crossover frequency is 80 Hz.
If you do not know, try comparing the sound at both settings
(setting the volume to a level low enough so as not to damage the
speakers) to determine the proper setting.

Speaker distance settings

When enjoying 5.1 channel surround playback with Dolby Digital and DTS sources, it is ideal that the center and surround
speakers should be the same distance from the main listening position as the front speakers. By entering the distance between
the listening position and each speaker, the delay times of center and surround speakers are automatically adjusted to create
an ideal listening environment virtually as if the center and surround speakers were at their ideal locations respectively as
below:
