Dolby Digital
The DOLBY DIGITAL mode lets you enjoy full digital surround from
software processed in the Dolby Digital format. Dolby Digital provides
up to 5.1 channels of independent digital audio for better sound quality
and more powerful presence than conventional Dolby Surround.
Dolby PRO LOGIC II
Pro Logic II, whilst totally compatible with its predecessor PRO LOGIC,
provides greater advantages in surround sound. It allows user to enjoy
the conventional stereo or Dolby Surround with a convincing “5.1 like”
presentation. PRO LOGIC II offers special features for controlling the
overall spatial, dimensionality and frontal sound field imaging. Dolby
PRO LOGIC II produces an impressive surround sound from video
software marked
and three-dimensional space from
music CD. When listening to music, you will be able to enjoy the
experience of sheer STEREO surround sound.
Dolby 3 Stereo
This surround system reproduces theater-like surround sound from
video software marked
.
The 3 STEREO mode will redirect the Surround signal to the front left
and right speakers when only the front and center speakers are used.
DTS
DTS (Digital Theater System) is a 5.1 channel digital audio format that
provides five full-spectrum channels and one low-frequency (subwoofer)
channel for unprecedented clarity, optimum channel separation and a
(wide) dynamic range.
In the DTS mode, the 5.1 channel digital input from a DTS CD, LD or
DVD disc (carrying the “DTS” marking) can be played in Digital Surround.
Important:
When a DTS disc is played on a CD, LD or DVD player, noise may be
output from the analog output. It is recommended that you connect the
digital output of the player to the digital input of this unit.
Multi channel music (SRS Circle Surround
)
SRS Circle surround enables you to listen to multi channel sound from the
stereo source. We assume you have already enjoyed listening to Dolby
digital sound/DTS multi channel sound with your multi speakers. Now,
this time try listening to the stereo source (ex. Audio CD) using your multi
speakers. You may discover a new type of “stereo” sound through SRS
Circle Surround.
DSP surround modes
The DSP (Digital Signal Processor) used for this receiver incorporates a
variety of high quality adjustable sound fields, like “ARENA”, “JAZZ
CLUB”, THEATER”, STADIUM” and “DISCO”. It is compatible with
almost any kind of program source.
DVD 6-channel input
If you own a DVD player equipped with 6-channel output, this receiver
allows you to obtain the full surround sound impact of DVD source
material featuring multi-channel encoding. Since the source signals are
digital and each channel is input independently, the resulting ambience
is far superior to what can be achieved with conventional surround sound
systems.
CINEMA EQ.
Cinema EQ. mode will produce a more dynamic sound quality in any
conditions. You can enjoy a more impressive sound effect when you
switch CINEMA EQ. ON during Dolby Digital and DTS playback.
Universal IR (InfraRed) remote control
In addition to the basic receiver, the remote control supplied with this
receiver can also operate almost all of your remote controllable audio and
video components. Just follow the simple setup procedure to register the
components you have connected.
