As for Dolby Digital EX, it creates six ful-bandwidth output channels from the 5.1 channel sources. This is done using a matrix decoder that derives three surround channels from the two in the original recording. For best result, Dolby Digital EX should be used with movie soundtracks recorded with Dolby Digital Surround EX.

Dolby Pro Logic IIx and Dolby Pro Logic II Dolby Pro Logic II, whilst totally compatible with its predecessor Pro Logic, provides greater advantages in surround sound. lt allows user to enjoy the conventional stereo or Dolby Surround with a convincing “5.1 like" presentation.

Audio connections are made using RCA pin cords. These cables transfer stereo audio signal in an “analog” form. This means the audio signal corresponds to the actual audio of two channels. These cables usually have 2 plugs at each end, red for the right channel and white for the left channel. These cables are usually packed together with the source unit, or are available at your local electronics retailer

Microcomputer malfunction lf operation is not possible or an erroneous display appears, even though all connections have been made properly, reset the micracomputer by referring to “In case of difficulty" Gi)

À CAUTION Install the equipment so that the power outlet is easily accessible and, in case of emergency, immediately unplug the power cord from the power outlet.

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

2 Laserdisc or DVD software marked DOI }. 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 model 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 ful-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 lag 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 model 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 "LFE" appears in the display when a signal is being input for this channel -G)

Dolby Pro Logic 1x and Dolby Pro Logic II 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 DOswsmusl). This is achieved with an intelligent, built feedback logic design, à matrix surround decoding and the decoding of stereo, full bandwidth surround outputs

Dolby Pro Logic IIx enhanced Dolby Pro Logic Il's features. Itcreates 6.1 channel and 7.1 channel surround sound from stereo or 5.1 channel signals. This feature provides you anastonishingambience 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 int 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 adjustmentofthe left-center-right speakers’ balance; the “Panorama” mode extends the front stereo image toinclude the surroundspeakers 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 IIx "GAME" mode, base sound not only from Front and Center but also from Surround channel is added to Subwoofer. This provides even more dynamic surround effects.

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 surroundback which synthesisedwithin 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 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 à ".1” or LFE channel The indication "LFE" appears in the display when a signal is being input for this channel el

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 tolisten 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 builtin 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 à ".1” or LFE channel The indication "LFE" appears in the display when a signal is being input for this channel el

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!

DSP stands for Digital Signal Processor.

The way a sound is heard in an actual environment depends on a variety of different factors. One ofthe mostimportantis 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 spailingthe sound quality of the original signal

Using a DVD player or the like equipped with six (5.1) output channels and this model, 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.
