DTS
The DTS multi-channel audio format is available on CD, LD and DVD
software. DTS is a strictly digital format and cannot be decoded
inside most CD, LD or DVD players. For this reason, if you attempt
to listen to DTS encoded software through the analog output of your
new CD, LD or DVD player, you will experience digital noise in most
cases. This noise can be quite loud if the analog output is connected
directly to a high power amplification system. Proper measures for
playing the digital output as described below should be taken to
avoid this situation. To enjoy DTS Digital Surround playback, an
external 5.1 channel DTS Digital Surround decoder system or an
amplifier with a built-in DTS Digital Surround decoder must be
connected to the digital output (S/P DIF, AES/EBU or TosLink) of a
CD, LD or DVD player.
All models are incorporated with the DTS decoder.
DTS has a “.1” or “LFE” channel.
The indication “
LFE
” appears in the display when a signal is being
input for this channel.

DTS-ES
DTS-ES (Digital Theater System-Extended Surround) presents 6.1
channels surround system with additional Surround Back channel
which evolved from the conventional 5.1 channels surround system.
DTS-ES format that was recorded in DVD, CD or LD comprises of two
modes. DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 produces the discrete surround back
which is completely independent and DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 produces
the surround back which synthesised within the left and right Surround
channels using matrix technology. DTS-ES has perfect compatibility
with the conventional 5.1 channels surround system. 6.1 channels
surround with an additional Surround Back presents a more natural
presence and surround effects by increasing the impression of the
sound image from back. Programs which are recorded using DTS-ES
technology consist of information flags which will be able to control
the Discrete and Matrix mode. Thus, it can automatically select the
best matched mode.
Neo:6
Neo:6 is a new technology which was developed by DTS. It can
produce high grade 6 channels surround with an astonishing fidelity
from 2 channels content. Neo:6 has 2 modes, “CINEMA” mode is for
movie playback and “MUSIC” mode is for music playback.
DTS has a ” .1” or “LFE” channel.
The indication “
LFE
” appears in the display when a signal is being
input for this channel.

DSP mode
The DSP mode lets you add the atmosphere of a live concert or hall
to almost any type of program source. These modes are particularly
effective when used with stereo program sources, like CD, television,
and FM radio. You might enjoy trying the ARENA, JAZZ CLUB,
THEATER, STADIUM or DISCO mode the next time you watch a
concert or sporting event!
What's DSP?
DSP stands for Digital Signal Processor.
The way a sound is heard in an actual environment depends on a
variety of different factors. One of the most important is reverberation
(the act of decaying elements of sound echoing in various places).
The DSP modes produce the feeling of presence by using the DSP to
create reverberation, without spoiling the sound quality of the original
signal.
Note
LFE
= Low Frequency Effects. This channel delivers separate non-
directional bass signals to the subwoofer for more dynamic deep
bass sound effects.
Dolby Digital
The Dolby Digital surround format lets you enjoy up to 5.1 channels
of digital surround sound from Dolby Digital program sources (such
as Laserdisc or DVD software marked
). Compared with
previous Dolby surround, Dolby Digital provides even better sound
quality, greater spatial accuracy, and improved dynamic range.
Although a full set of speakers (Front left, right, and Center, Surround
left and right, and a Subwoofer) is required for true 5.1 channel Dolby
Digital surround sound, this receiver lets you enjoy Dolby Digital (and
Dolby Surround) program sources, even if you connect only the front
speakers.
Dolby Digital EX
Dolby Digital EX is an extension of Dolby Digital technology, Dolby
Digital EX creates six full-bandwidth output channels from 6.1-
channel sources. This is done using a matrix decoder that derives
three surround channels from the two in the original recording.
This is achieved by using three different surround signals, Surround
Left, Surround Right, and Surround Back, each driving its own array
of speakers. Think of it as adding a Center channel for the rear
speakers, which give more diffuse and natural surround effect, even
if you wanted the ability to completely encircle the audience with
sound, positioning sound effects exactly where they would be heard
in real life. For best results, Dolby Digital EX should be used with
movie soundtracks recorded with Dolby Digital Surround EX which
contain a digital flag that will automatically activate this feature.
However, for titles released prior to late 2001, this feature has to be
activated manually.
Although a full set of speakers (Front left, right, and Center, Surround
left and right, Surround Back and a Subwoofer) is required for true 6.1
channel Dolby Digital Surround EX sound, this receiver lets you enjoy
Dolby Digital (and Dolby Surround) program sources, even if you
connect only the front speakers.
Although only Dolby Digital soundtracks incorporate a separate low
frequency channel, connecting a subwoofer will also improve deep
bass performance in the other surround modes.
Dolby Digital has a ” .1” or “LFE” channel.
The indication “

Dolby Pro Logic
II
was designed specifically to provide a new sense
of spatiality, directionality and articulation of sounds from Dolby
Surround encoded sources (such as video and Laserdisc software
marked
). This is achieved with an intelligent, built-in
feedback logic design, a matrix surround decoding and the decoding
of stereo, full bandwidth surround outputs.
DOLBY PRO LOGIC
II
x enhanced DOLBY PRO LOGIC II’s features.
It creates 6.1 channel and 7.1 channel surround sound from stereo or
5.1 channel signals. This feature provides you an astonishing ambience
effect which makes you feel you are surrounded by natural sound.
Especially 7.1 channel surround sound can produce real back sound
from Surround Back speakers.
The PRO LOGIC IIx modes programmed into this model are “MOVIE”,
“MUSIC” and “GAME”. The PRO LOGIC
II
modes programmed into
this model are “MOVIE”, “MUSIC”, “GAME” and “PRO LOGIC”.
The “MOVIE” mode has preset characteristics to produce a calibrated,
high-level surround sound playback while the “MUSIC” mode has
user-adjustable characteristics to offer the three optional controls,
like “Dimension”, “Center Width” and “Panorama” modes to allow
optimization of the soundfields as desired. The “Dimension” control
allows the user to gradually adjust the soundfield either towards the
front or towards the rear; the “Center Width” control allows various
adjustment of the left-center-right speakers’ balance; the “Panorama”
mode extends the front stereo image to include the surround speakers
for an exciting “wraparound” effect with side wall imaging.
The “GAME” mode provides surrounded and exciting sound when
you enjoy game or TV. Especially in PRO LOGIC
II
x “GAME” mode,
base sound not only from Front and Center but also from Surround
channel is added to Subwoofer. This provides ever more dynamic
surround effects.
