The HTSW Surround Audio Processor provides a
theater-sound environment in the home. This Home
Theater Sound (HTS) system decodes Dolby1 stereo
sound encoded

In video discs, video tape, and broad-

cast television. The

HTS5000 provides up to six chan-

nels of audio output: left, center, right, two surround

channels, and a subwoofer. Acra-Vector* decoder

clr­cuitry replicates the directional accuracy of the finest
theater sound equipment. True digital time delays pro-

'de the same performance, free of distortion and noise.

s

in the theater. The Acoustic Space Generator creates

the same Immersion in sound as

In the theater, but us-

ing a minimum number of speakers. All these features
help to re-create the sound field of an original theater
showing. The

HTS5000 can also produce simulated sur­round sound from ordinary stereo, and even from mono
sources.

Three models of the

HTS5000 are presently

available:

the

HTS5000, for 120 Vac,

60

Hz operation;

the

HTS5000E, for 220.240 Vac, 50160 Hz operation; and

the

HTS5000J, for

100

Vac, 50160

Hz

operation.

All

three

models are described

In this document.

A

basic HTS Surround Sound Installation employs
four loudspeakers and two stereo amplifiers; a com­plete system uses

six loudspeakers and three stereo
amplifiers to reproduce the theater experience. The
system operates as follows: Exclusive Acra-Vector

clr­cuits enhance the directional accuracy of the repro­duced sound field.

In the front, this creates a spaclous
stereo panorama with realistic "motion" effects from
moving sources. In the basic system, dialogue
originates from a phantom center channel. However, to
keep the acoustic image properly located regardless of
where the listener sits in the room, the addition of a

center front loudspeaker is recommended.

The surround channel signals are delayed according
to a user-selected digital display setting chosen for the
particular room envlronrnent. Then an Acoustic Space
Generator processes the delayed

slgnal to further

nhance the perception of spaciousness.

The

finishing touch to complete the system is an add-

ed subwoofer. Because the film industry uses very

low-

frequency audio as an Integral part of the creation

of

mood and place. uslna a subwoofer reinforces the

theater illusion and

lrrt~nslfies the versimilitude of the
performance. To conveniently add a subwoofer, the
HTS5000 has a subwoofer output containing only low­frequency information (below 80 Hz). The subwoofer will
smoothly extend the response of typical bookshelf or
satellite speakers, or

It can be used to augment the

bass output of larger speakers.

(The left, center, and

'

right outputs are full-frequency-range and also contain

'

this low-frequency informatlon.)

:

The HTS5000 front-panel controls and displays ln-

clude push-button operating mode selectors: Dolby
Surround, synthesized-surround stereo or mono, and, by
means of a defeat button, pure stereo or mono. There

Is

'

also push-button choke of the audio source from either
Left and Right inputs or Tape Monitor Return inputs.

Rotary knobs on the front adjust the following:

Input
level, with a five-LED display; input balance, with an
LED for visual determination of correct balance; digital

delay time to best suit the particular listening room; and
volume and surround levels. An overriding wired remote
control lets the listener adjust surround and overall
volume levels from the listening position. The remote
also permits muting of the audio outputs.

A

four-

channel graphic display provides visual demonstration
of the surround characteristics of the input signal.

The

HTS5000 rear panel includes left and right audio

inputs; outputs for front left and right and surround left

and right channels;

a

separately switched front-center

output jack; and a subwoofer output jack. Tape Monitor

Send outputs and Left and Right Return inputs are also
Included. These audio input and output jacks are all
phono types. In addition, front- and rear-panel

eighth­Inch-diameter phone jacks accommodate the wired
remote control.

SERVICE

This section contains lnformatlon on replacement
parts, servlce access, fuse replacement, and complete
equipment checkout. If difficulties in

HTS5000 installa­tion or operatlon are experienced, the Troubleshooting
Guide

In the installationlOperator's Manual should

be

consulted. If that information fails to correct the pro­blem, the checkout procedure given here can

be

per-

formed.
Note that

circuitry

lnformatlon is only given where It can
be of use in field servlce; most internal adjustments
cannot be made and some circuit blocks cannot

be

ser-

viced without factory test equipment.

Voltages in this equipment are hazardous to life.
No user-serviceable parts inside. Refer all servic­ing to qualified servlce personnel.

Replacement Parts

Parts that are readily available through local elec­tronic parts distributors are not shown on the accompa­nying Parts List. Their values are shown on the Circuit
Diagram. Commercial parts not readily available and
unique parts are shown on the Parts List and may be
m-dered directly from the factory.

'he commercial alternates shown on the Parts

Llst

are not necessarily equivalents, but may be used In the

event that direct factory replacements are not im­mediately available. To maintain the highest possible
performance and reliability, Shure fgctory replacement
parts should be used. When ordering replacement parts,
specify the Shure replacement part number,

descrip

tion, product model number, and serial number.

the front panel

before removing the knobs.
Service Access

Disconnect the

HTS5000

from Its ac power source.

Remove two cover-securing screws from each side

panel. Slide the cover back toward the rear of the unit

and upward to remove.

Fuse Replacement

To replace the fuse or fuses in the

HTS5000, discon­nect the line cord from the ac source and remove the top
cover as described above. Locate the defective fuse on

?

printed circult board adjacent to the power

-.ansformer, and replace with a fuse of ldentlcal slze
and value (see table). Note that all fuses are slow-blow
(time lag) types.

procedure.

Test signals are applied only to the channels
specified in each section of the test procedures. The
voltages listed in each section are ac

mVrms unless

otherwise listed.

No

significant dc potential

(>50

mV)

should be present at any audio output jack.

When feeding audio test signals to the

HTS5000, do

not use excessive drive

levets. With the lnput Level con-

trol set to maximum (ctockwise), distortion

wlll

appear

with approximately

0.3V at the input terminals.

Test Equfpment

Use a high-quality audio generator to supply the
signals to the

HTS5000

input jacks. The distortion con-

tribution of the

HTS5000

is negligible; if a lowdistortion

audio signal is used for testing, little distortion

will

be

found at the test polnt signals.

Ac signal voltages should

be

measured with a hlgh­Impedance ac voltmeter (2100-kilohm input impedance).
Dc voltages can be measured with a voltohmmeter

(~100-kilohm input impedance).

Prellmlnary Checkout

To perform all testing, the unit must

be

factory-

calibrated and warmed up (at least 5 minutes).

After

warmup, apply a

100

mV, 1 kHz signal to both

channels. With the

unit in Dolby mode, adjust the lnput

Level control for

500

mV at the center output. Adjust the

lnput Balance control for

minimum output at the left

surround

output. Under these conditions, the unit
should provide the voltages listed in the following table
