4 FEATURES
1. Dolby Virtual Speaker compatibility
The AVR-770SD is equipped with power amplifiers
that make it compatible with new Dolby Virtual
Speaker technology for recreating a 5.1-channel
environment virtually using a 2-channel
configuration. (Dolby Virtual Speaker is an
proprietary technology of Dolby Laboratories.) A
high performance digital signal processor enables
playback of Dolby Digital and DTS multi-channel
surround signals in the Dolby Virtual Speaker mode.
Surround sound can be achieved with the Dolby
Virtual Speaker mode for CDs and other 2-channel
sources in combination with the Dolby Pro Logic
II
decoder.
2. Dolby Digital EX decoder system
Dolby Digital EX is a 6.1-channel surround format
proposed by Dolby Laboratories that allows users to
enjoy in their homes the “DOLBY DIGITAL
SURROUND EX” audio format jointly developed by
Dolby Laboratories and Lucas Films and first used
for the movie “Star Wars Episode 1 – Phantom
Menace”.
The 6.1 channels of sound, including surround back
channels, provide improved sound positioning and
expression of space.
3. DTS-ES Extended Surround and DTS Neo:6
The AVR-770SD is compatible with DTS-ES
Extended Surround, a new multi-channel format
developed by Digital Theater Systems Inc.
The AVR-770SD is also compatible with DTS Neo:6,
a surround mode allowing 6.1-channel playback of
regular stereo sources.
4. DTS 96/24 compatibility
The AVR-770SD can be decoded 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-770SD with high sound
quality of 96 kHz/24 bits or 88.2 kHz/24 bits.
5. 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.
6. On Screen Diaplay
Troublesome operations such as adjusting the
delay time and other parameters according to the
listening environment are greatly simplified. The
various parameters can be set simply by selecting
the graphic displayed on the monitor screen
according to the listening room’s system
environment.
7. Video Conversion Function
The AVR-770SD is equipped with a function for
converting the signals input to the video input
connector and S-Video input connector. With this
function, the AVR-770SD’s monitor out connector
and the monitor (TV) can be connected with video
pin-plug cords or an S-Video connection cord.
8. Dolby Digital
Using advanced digital processing algorithms,
Dolby Digital provides up to 5.1 channels of wide-
range, high fidelity surround sound. Dolby Digital is
the default digital audio delivery system for North
American DVD and DTV.
9. DTS (Digital Theater Systems)
DTS provides up to 5.1 channels of wide-range,
high fidelity surround sound, from sources such as
laser disc, DVD and specially-encoded music discs.
10.Component Video Switching
In addition to composite video and “S” video
switching, the AVR-770SD provides 2 sets of
component video (Y, P
B
/C
B
, P
R

) inputs
assignable, and one set of component video
outputs to the television, for superior picture quality.
11.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.
