Digital Audio Processor: C2N-DAP8
Operations Guide - DOC. 8186
Functional Summary – Miscellaneous
The CNAMPX-7x200 7-channel, 200 watts per channel surround sound amplifier is
the ideal companion product to the C2N-DAP8 surround sound processor.
The C2N-DAP8 provides digital surround sound processing along with CAT5 head
end/local AV distribution functions. The result is cost-effective surround sound in
any room of the house.
Surround Sound Modes
The C2N-DAP8 provides the following surround sound modes, permitting choice of
the format that best suits the entertainment medium selected, the specific
characteristics of the listening/viewing area, and the personal preferences of the
listener.
Dolby Digital 5.1
Typically, 5.1-channel audio consists of five discrete, full-range main channels (left,
center, right, left surround, and right surround) plus a discrete, band-limited low
frequency effects (LFE) channel for added bass (subwoofer). Dolby Digital
bitstreams deliver full frequency bandwidth main channels, from 3 Hz to 20 kHz,
and a limited frequency bandwidth LFE channel, from 3 Hz to 120 Hz.
Dolby Pro Logic
As a descendent of the advanced technology used in Dolby Stereo theaters, Dolby
Pro Logic Surround decoders give enhanced spatial and directional effects when
used in the home environment. Sophisticated logic steering techniques are used to
extend the impact of the soundtrack over a wider listening area. Wide separation,
smooth dynamic action, and proper spatial imaging are key characteristics of Pro
Logic decoders.
Dolby Pro Logic II
Dolby Pro Logic II creates five full-bandwidth output channels from two-channel
sources. This is done using an advanced, high-purity matrix surround decoder that
extracts the spatial properties of the original recording without adding any new
sounds or tonal colorations.
Movie Mode
The Movie mode is for use with VCRs, television shows, and all programs encoded
in Dolby Surround. The result is an enhanced soundfield that approaches the quality
of discrete 5.1-channel sound.
Music Mode
The Music mode is for use with any stereo music recordings, and provides a wide
and deep sound space. The Music mode includes controls that allow the sound to be
tailored to individual listening tastes.
