Sound Enhancement Systems
This receiver is equipped with several built-in sound
enhancement systems.
Dolby Digital
The Dolby Digital mode lets you enjoy full digital
surround from software processed in the Dolby
Digital format. Dolby Digital provides better sound
quality and more powerful presence than conven-
tional Dolby Surround.
This unit is equipped with Dolby Digital 5.1-channel
so that you can enjoy enhanced full digital surround
sound. Being different from Dolby Pro Logic in which
only four channels ( Front Left, Front Right, Centre
and Rear ) are used, the new system provides stereo
separation of the rear speakers (Rear-Right, Rear-Left
). These 5 channels, together with the subwoofer
channel for bass sounds (counted as 0.1 channel ),
constitute as 5.1-Channel ( or 6 Channels ) Input for
Dolby Digital that brings you the most sophisticated
sound enjoyment.
Digital Theater Systems (DTS)
DTS is a digital surround system which delivers six
channels of master-quality, 20-bit audio. It offers five
full-range channels plus a special low frequency
effect (LFE) channel for subwoofer, resulting com-
monly know 5.1 channels. It can be applied with
existing 5.1 speaker configurations.
DTS is available in DVD, SAT/CAB, TV and CD mode.
(When digital cable is connected)
Stereo
The Stereo mode uses the two main channel outputs
from the front speakers. Use this mode if you have
connected the front speakers only.
DSP (Digital Sound Processor)
These digital sound effects resemble sounds in a real
environment such as (STADIUM / THEATER / CONCERT
/ CLUB / CHURCH / ARENA). DSP automatically con-
verts analog audio signals to digital ones which
enables you to adjust the sound without degrading
the sound quality. Different modes will give you dif-
ferent feel of size and type of listening environment.
(Not available in Dolby Digital/DTS)
Night Mode
By using Dynamic Range Compression technology
(pressing OK), you can enjoy enhanced Dolby Digital
sound quality at night without interrupting your
roommates or neighbors. Night Mode will compress
the difference in volume between normal voices and
sound like explosions, while still enjoying a Dolby
Digital enable component (DVD, SAT). Night Mode
can be activated by pressing the
OK
button repeatedly until NORMAL appears on the dis-
play. While Normal is still on the display, press the
LEFT
or
RIGHT
Adjustment buttons on the remote
control,around the
OK
button, on the remote control
until you select the desired mode. There are three
modes (NORMAL, SOFT, SOFTER) for you to choose
the extents of compression.
