■

All Channel Stereo

■

Dolby Surround

Dolby Pro Logic

Dolby Pro Logic II

has a newly developed multichannel playback

format to decode all 2 channel sources—regular stereo source and
Dolby Surround encoded source—into 5.1 channel.
Matrix-based encoding/decoding method for Dolby Pro Logic II
makes no limitation for the cutoff frequency of the rear treble and
enables stereo rear sound compared to conventional Dolby Pro
Logic.

Dolby Pro Logic II enables to reproduce spacious sound from
original sound without adding any new sounds and tonal colorations.
Dolby Pro Logic II has two modes—

Movie mode

and

Music mode

Pro Logic II Movie (PL II MOVIE)

—suitable for reproduction of

Dolby Surround encoded sources bearing the mark

DOLBY SURROUND

You can enjoy soundfield very close to the one created with discrete
5.1 channel sounds.

Pro Logic II Music (PL II MUSIC)

—suitable for reproduction of

any 2 channel stereo music sources. You can enjoy wide and deep
sound by using this mode. For this mode, Panorama control can be
selected, which gives “wraparound” sound effect with side-wall
image.

Dolby Digital 5.1 ch

encoding method (so-called discrete

multichannel digital audio format) records and digitally compresses
the left front channel, right front channel, center channel, left rear
channel, right rear channel, and LFE channel signals.
Since each channel is completely independent from the other
channel signals to avoid interference, you can obtain much better
sound quality with much stereo and surround effects.

Note:

Dolby Digital software can be roughly grouped into two categories
—multichannel (up to “5.1” channel) and 2 channel software. To enjoy
surround sounds while playing Dolby Digital 2 ch software, you can
use Dolby Pro Logic II.

DTS Digital Surround

encoded with DTS Digital Surround (

• To enjoy the software encoded with DTS Digital Surround,

connect the source component using the digital terminal on the
rear of this receiver. (See page 7.)

DTS Digital Surround

is another discrete multichannel digital

audio format available on CD, LD, and DVD software.
Compared to Dolby Digital, audio compression ratio is relatively
low. This fact allows DTS Digital Surround format to add breadth
and depth to the reproduced sounds. As a result, DTS Digital
Surround features natural, solid and clear sound.
