DTS
DTS Digital Surround is the standard for providing 5.1 channels
of discrete digital audio in consumer electronics products and
software content.
DTS can contain a larger volume of data than Dolby Digital, and
can reproduce high quality surround sound. They are the same
as the Dolby Digital 5.1 channels, but it is a format that lowered
the audio compression rate when recording digitally. Because of
that, rich sound with high S/N can be reproduced. Moreover, an
exact, magnificent surround sound with wide dynamic range and
excelling in separation is a feature of DTS.
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.
DVD 6-channel mode
Using a DVD player or the like equipped with six (5.1) output
channels and this unit, you can enjoy multi-channel encoded
DVD source material in all its splendor. Since the source signals
are digital and each channel is input independently, the resulting
sound quality, sense of spaciousness, and dynamic range are
superb.
The indication "6CH INPUT" appears in the display during DVD
6-channel mode selection.
Note:
• LFE = Low Frequency Effects.
This channel delivers separate non-directional bass signals to the
subwoofer for more dynamic deep bass sound effects.
