FEATURES

1. Lucasfilm THX Ultra2 Certified

Home THX is the unique collaboration between
Lucasfilm Ltd. and audio equipment
manufacturers. THX Ultra2 certification is the
highest performance level, and provides a
rigorous set of performance standards, along with
proprietary surround sound post-processing
technologies, designed to enhance the surround
soundtrack playback experience in the home
theater.
In addition to improvements to the power
amplifier with respect to previous THX Ultra
standards, two surround modes have been added:
the THX Ultra2 Cinema mode and the THX Music
mode.

2. DTS 96/24 compatibility

The AVR-5800/AVC-A1SE Upgrade is compatible with
sources recorded in DTS 96/24, a new multi-channel
digital signal format developed by Digital Theater
Systems Inc.
DTS 96/24 sources can be played in the multi-channel
mode on the AVR-5800/AVC-A1SE Upgrade with high
sound quality of 96 kHz/24 bits or 88.2 kHz/24 bits.

3. Dolby Pro Logic 

II

decoder

Dolby Pro Logic 

II

is a new format for playing

multichannel audio signals that offers
improvements over conventional Dolby Pro Logic.
It can be used to decode not only sources
recorded in Dolby Surround but also regular stereo
sources into five channels (front left/right, center
and surround left/right). In addition, various
parameters can be set according to the type of
source and the contents, so you can adjust the
sound field with greater precision.

4. Dolby Headphone Compatibility

This is a three-dimensional sound technology
developed jointly by Dolby Laboratories and Lake
Technoligy Ltd. of Australia for achieving surround

sound using regular headphones.

5. DENON Link

This terminal can be used to connect a Denon
DVD player for high quality digital multichannel
playback.

6. Digital Ext. In

This is a function for future system expansion
when using digital multichannel connections.

7. Auto Surround Mode

This function stores the surround mode last used
for an input signal in the memory and
automatically sets that surround mode the next
time that signal is input.

8. Audio Delay

This is a function for delaying the audio signal with
respect to the video signal. (0 to 200 msec)

9. Setup Lock

This is a function that locks the system setup and
surround parameter settings, etc., so that they
cannot be changed.

10. Delay Time

The maximum settable value has been changed
from 15 feet to 20 feet, the setting steps from 1
foot to 0.1 feet.

Input the combination of speakers in your system and their
corresponding sizes (Small for regular speakers, Large for full-
size, full-range) to automatically set the composition of the
signals output from the speakers and the frequency response.

Use this function when using multiple surround
speaker combinations for more ideal surround
sound. Once the combinations of surround
speakers to be used for the different surround
modes are preset, the surround speakers are
selected automatically according to the surround
mode.

This selects the subwoofer speaker for playing deep bass
signals.

This adjusts the volume of the signals output from the speakers
and subwoofer for the different channels in order to obtain
optimum effects.

This parameter is for detecting the maximum level of the low
bass signals output from the subwoofer channel in order to
protect the subwoofer from damage and prevent unpleasant
distorted sounds from being produced.

This assigns the digital input jacks for the different
input sources.

This sets whether or not to display the on-screen display that
appears on the monitor screen when the controls on the remote
control unit or main unit are operated (from MONITOR 1 outputs
only).
