Optimum surround sound for different sources There are currently various types of multi-channel signals (signals or formats with more than two channels). M Types of multi-channel signals Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic, DTS, high definition 3-1 signals (] apan MUSE Hi-Vision audio), DVD-Audio, SACD (Super Audio CD), MPEG multi- channel audio, etc. “Source” here does not refer to the type of signal (format) but the recorded content. Sources can be divided into two major categories. m Types of sources + Movie audio Signals created to be played in movie theaters. In general sound is recorded to be played in movie theaters equipped with multiple surround speakers, regardiess of the format (Dolby Digital, DTS, etc.). Movie theater sound field © © © Listening room sound field Si &R In this case it is important to achieve the same sense of Muttiple surround speakers or 6.1-channel system) + Other types of audio These signals are designed to recreate a 360° sound field using three to five speakers.

SL: Surround L channel SR: Surround R channel SB: Surround back channel (1 spkr or 2 spkrs) expansion as in a movie theater with the surround channels. To do so, in some cases the number of surround speakers is increased (to four or eight) or speakers with bipolar or dipolar properties are used. In this case the speakers should surround the listener from all sides to create a uniform sound field from 360°. Ideally the surround speakers should function as “point” sound sources in the same way as the front speakers. These two types of sources thus have different properties, and different speaker settings, particularly for the surround speakers, are required in order to achieve the ideal sound. The AVR-2105/885 is equipped the function of surround speakers selection that makes it possible to change the settings according to the combination of surround speakers being used and the surounding environment in order to achieve the ideal surround sound for all sources. This means that you can connect a pair of bipolar or dipolar surround speakers (mounted on either side of the prime listening position), as well as à separate pair of direct radiating (monopolar) speakers placed at the rear comers of the listening room.

ENGLISH Surround back speakers A 6.1-channel system is a conventional 5.1-channel system to which the “surround back” (58) channel has been added. This makes it easy to achieve sound positioned directiy behind the listener, something that was previously difficuit with sources designed for conventional multi surround speakers. In addition, the acoustic image extending between the sides and the rear is narowed, thus greatiy improving the expression of the surround signals for sounds moving from the sides to the back and from the front to the point directly behind the listening position. Change of positioning and acoustic image Change of positioning and acoustic image with 5.1-channel systems with 6.1-channel systems Movement of acoustic image from SR to SL Movement of acoustic image from SR to SB to SL With this set, speaker(s) for 1 or 2 channels are required to achieve a 6.1-channel system (DTS-ES, etc.). Adding these speakers, however, increases the surround effect not only with sources recorded in 6.1 channels but also with conventional 2- to 5.1-channel sources. The WIDE SCREEN mode is a mode for achieving surround sound with up to 7.1 channels using surround back speakers, for sources recorded in conventional Dolby Surround as well as Dolby Digital 5.1-channel and DTS Surround 5.1-channel sources. Furthermore, all the Denon original surround modes (see page 57) are compatible with 7.1-channel playback, so you can enjoy 7.1-channel sound with any signal source. E Number of surround back speakers Though the surround back channel only consists of 1 channel of playback signals for 6.1-channel sources (DTS-ES, etc.), we recommend using two speakers. When using speakers with dipolar characteristics in particular, it is essential to use two speakers. Using two speakers results in a smoother blend with the sound of the surround channels and better sound positioning of the surround back channel when listening from a position other than the center. M Placement of the surround left and right channels when using surround back speakers Using surround back speakers greatly improves the positioning of the sound at the rear Because of this, the surround left and right channels play an important role in achieving a smooth transition of the acoustic image from the front to the back. As shown on the diagram above, in a movie theater the surround signals are also produced from diagonally in front of the listeners, creating an acoustic image as if the sound were floating in space. To achieve these effects, we recommend placing the speakers for the surround left and right channels slightiy more towards the front than with conventional surround systems. Doing so sometimes increases the surround effect when playing conventional 5.1-channel sources in the 6.1 surround or DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 mode. Check the surround effects of the various modes before selecting the surround mode.

Here we describe a number of speaker settings for different purposes. Use these examples as guides to set up your system according to the type of speakers used and the main usage purpose. L_ DTS-ES compatible system (using surround back speakers) (1) Basic setting for primarity watching movies This is recommended when mainly playing movies and using regular single way or 2-way speakers for the surround speakers.

When using one surround back speaker, place it at the rear center facing the front at a slightiy higher position O to 0.7 feet (0 to 20 cm) than the surround speakers. We recommend installing the surround back speaker(s) at a slightiy downward facing angle. This effectively prevents the surround back channel signals from reflecting off the monitor or screen at the front center, resulting in interference and making the sense of movement from the front to the back less sharp. (2) Setting for primarily watching movies using diffusion type speakers for the surround speakers For the greatest sense of surround sound envelopment, diffuse radiation speakers such as bipolar types, or dipoler types, provide a wider dispersion then is possible to obtain from a direct rediating speaker (monopolar).

ENGLISH The AVR-2105/885 is equipped with a digital signal processing circuit that lets you play program sources in the surround mode to achieve the same sense of presence as in a movie theater. Dolby Surround (1) Dolby Digital Dolby Digital is the multi-channel digital signal format developed by Dolby Laboratories. Dolby Digital consists of up to “5.1” channels - front left, front right, center, surround left, surround right, and an additional channel exclusively reserved for additional deep bass sound effects (the Low Frequency Effects - LFE - channel, also called the “.1” channel, containing bass frequencies of up to 120 Hz). Unlike the analog Dolby Pro Logic format, Dolby Digitals main channels can all contain full range sound information, from the lowest bass, up to the highest frequencies - 22 kHz. The signals within each channel are distinct from the others, allowing pinpoint sound imaging, and Dolby Digital offers tremendous dynamic range from the most powerful sound effects to the quietest, softest sounds, free from noise and distortion.

When playing in Dolby Digital surround on the AVR-2105/885, switch the DVD players output mode to “bit stream”. In some cases players are equipped with both “bit stream + PCM” and “PCM only” digital outputs. In this case connect the “bit stream + PCM" jacks to the AVR-2105/885. €2) Dolby Pro Logic IIx + Dolby Pro Logic Ilx furthers the matrix decoding technology of Dolby Pro Logic Il to decode audio signals recorded on two channels into up to 7.1 playback channels, including the surround back channel.

The mode can be selected according to the source. The Music mode is best suited for playing music, the Cinema mode for playing movies, and the Game mode for playing games. The Game mode can only be used with 2-channel audio sources. (3) Dolby Pro Logic II + Dolby Pro Logic Il is a new multi-channel playback format developed by Dolby Laboratories using feedback logic steering technology and offering improvements over conventional Dolby Pro Logic circuits. + Dolby Pro Logic Il can be used to decode not only sources recorded in Dolby Surround (% ) but also regular stereo sources into five channels (front left, front right, center, surround left and surround right) to achieve surround sound. + Whereas with conventional Dolby Pro Logic the surround channel playback frequency band was limited, Dolby Pro Logic Il offers a wider band range (20 Hz to 20 kHz or greater). In addition, the surround channels were monaural (the surround left and right channels were the same) with previous Dolby Pro Logic, but Dolby Pro Logic Il they are played as stereo signals. + Various parameters can be set according to the type of source and the contents, so it is possible to achieve optimum decoding (see page 60).

• Sources recorded in Dolby Surround These are sources in which three or more channels of surround have been recorded as two channels of signals using Dolby Surround encoding technology. Dolby Surround is used for the sound tracks of movies recorded on DVDs, LDs and Video cassettes to be played on stereo VCRs, as well as for the stereo broadcast signals of FM radio, TV, satellite broadcasts and cable TV. Decoding these signals with Dolby Pro Logic Il makes it possible to achieve multi-channel surround playback. The signals can also be played on ordinary stereo equipment, in which case they provide normal stereo sound. There are two types of DVD Dolby surround recording signals. D 2-channel PCM stereo signals @ 2-channel Dolby Digital signals When either of these signals is input to the AVR-2105/885, the surround mode is automatically set to Dolby Pro Logic Il when the “DOLBY/DTS SURROUND” mode is selected. M Sources recorded in Dolby Surround are indicated with the logo mark shown below. Dolby Surround support mark: D(srv sou) Manufactured under license from Dolby Laboratories. “Dolby”, “Pro Logic” and the double-D symbol are trademarks of Dolby Laboratories. DTS Digital Surround Digital Theater Surround (also called simply DTS) is à multi-channel digital signal format developed by Digital Theater Systems. DTS offers the same “5.1” playback channels as Dolby Digital (front left, front right and center, surround left and surround right) as well as the stereo 2-channel mode. The signals for the different channels are fully independent, eliminating the risk of deterioration of sound quality due to interference between signals, crosstalk, etc. DTS features a relatively higher bit rate as compared to Dolby Digital (1234 kbps for CDs and LDs, 1536 kbps for DVDs) so it operates with a relatively low compression rte. Because of this the amount of data is great, and when DTS playback is used in movie theaters, a separate CD- ROM synchronized with the film is played. With LDs and DVDs, there is of course no need for an extra disc; the pictures and sound can be recorded simultaneously on the same disc, so the discs can be handled in the same way as discs with other formats. There are also music CDs recorded in DTS, These CDs include 5.1-channel surround signals (compared to two channels on current CDs). They do not include picture data, but they offer surround playback on CD players thet are equipped with digital outputs (PCM type digital output required). DTS surround track playback offers the same intricate, grand sound as in a movie theater, right in your own listening room.

X1 DVD PT RC pue Set the input mode to “AUTO” or“DTS" (page 40) %1 DTS signals are recorded in the same way on CDs and LDs as PCM signals. Because of this, the un-decoded DTS signals are output as random “hissy” noise from the CD or LD players analog outputs. If this noise is played with the amplifier set at a very high volume, it may possibly cause damage to the speakers. To avoid this, be sure to switch the input mode to “AUTO” or “DTS" before playing CDs or LDS recorded in DTS. Also, never switch the input mode to “ANALOG” or “PCM” during playback. The same holds true when playing CDs or LDs on a DVD player or LD/DVD compatible player. For DVDs, the DTS signals are recorded in a special way so this problem does not occur. x2 The signals provided at the digital outputs of a CD or LD player may undergo some sort of intemal signal processing (output level adjustment, sampling frequency conversion, et.). In this case the DTS-encoded signals may be processed erroneousiy, in which case they cannot be decoded by the AVR-2105/885, or may only produce noise. Before playing DTS signals for the first time, tum down the master volume to a low level, start playing the DTS disc, then check whether the DTS indicator on the AVR-2105/885 (see page 41) lights before tuming up the master volume. *3 À DVD player with DTS-compatible digital output is required to play DTS DVDs. À DTS Digital Output logo is featured on the front panel of compatible DVD players. Recent DENON DVD player models feature DTS-compatible digital output - consult the players owners manual for information on configuring the digital output for DTS playback of DTS-encoded DVDs.

ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. DTS-ES Extended Surround" DTS-ES Extended Surround is a new multi-channel digital signal format developed by Digital Theater Systems Inc. While offering high compatibility with the conventional DTS Digital Surround format, DTS-ES Extended Surround greatiy improves the 360-degree surround impression and space expression thanks to further expanded surround signals. This format has been used professionally in movie theaters since 1999. In addition to the 5.1 surround channels (FL, FR, C, SL, SR and LFE), DTS-ES Extended Surround also offers the SB (Surround Back, sometimes also referred to as “surround center”) channel for surround playback with a total of 6.1 channels. DTS-ES Extended Surround includes two signal formats with different surround signal recording methods, as described below. = DTS-ES" Discrete 6.1 DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 is the newest recording format. With it, all 6.1 channels (including the SB channel) are recorded independentiy using a digital discrete system. The main feature of this format is that because the SL, SR and SB channels are fully independent, the sound can be designed with total freedom and it is possible to achieve a sense that the acoustic images are moving about freely among the background sounds surrounding the listener from 360 degrees. Though maximum performance is achieved when sound tracks recorded with this system are played using a DTS-ES decoder, when played with a conventional DTS decoder the SB channel signals are automatically down-mixed to the SL and SR channels, so none of the signal components are lost. = DTS-ES" Matrix 6.1 With this format, the additional SB channel signals undergo matrix encoding and are input to the SL and SR channels beforehand. Upon playback they are decoded to the SL, SR and 5B channels. The performance of the encoder used at the time of recording can be fully matched using a high precision digital matrix decoder developed by DTS, thereby achieving surround sound more faithful to the producers sound design aims than with conventional 5.1- or 6.1-channel systems. In addition, the bit stream format is 100% compatible with conventional DTS signals, so the effect of the Matrix 6.1 format can be achieved even with 5.1-channel signal sources. Of course it is also possible to play DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 encoded sources with a DTS 5.1-channel decoder. When DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 or Matrix 6.1 encoded sources are decoded with a DTS-ES decoder, the format is automatically detected upon decoding and the optimum playing mode is selected. However, some Matrix 6.1 sources may be detected as having a 5.1-channel format, so the DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 mode must be set manually to play these sources. or instructions on selecting the surround mode, see page 54.) The DTS-ES decoder includes another function, the DTS Neo:6 surround mode for 6.1-channel playback of digital PCM and analog signal sources. = DTS Neo:6"” surround This mode applies conventional 2-channel signals to the high precision digital matrix decoder used for DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 to achieve 6.1- channel surround playback. High precision input signal detection and matrix processing enable full band reproduction (frequency response of 20 Hz to 20 kHz or greater) for all 6.1 channels, and separation between the different channels is improved to the same level as that of a digital discrete system. DTS Neo:6 surround includes two modes for selecting the optimum decoding for the signal source. + DTS Neo:6 Cinema This mode is optimum for playing movies. Decoding is perfommed with emphasis on separation performance to achieve the same atmosphere with 2-channel sources as with 6.1-channel sources. This mode is effective for playing sources recorded in conventional surround formats as well, because the in-phase component is assigned mainly to the center channel (C) and the reversed phase component to the surround (SL, SR and SB channels). DTS Neo:6 Music This mode is suited mainly for playing music. Changes in the sound quality are reduced by decoding with emphasis on the front channel signals (FL and FR), and a natural sense of expansion is given to the sound field by the effect of the surround signals output from the center (©) and surround (SL, SR and SB) channels.

DTS 96/24 The sampling frequency, number of bits and number of channels used for recording of music, etc., in studios has been increasing in recent years, and there are a growing number of high quality signal sources, including 96 kHz/24 bit 5.1-channel sources. For example, there are high picture/sound quality DVD video sources with 96 kHz/24 bit stereo PCM audio tracks. However, because the data rate for these audio tracks is extremely high, there are limits to recording them on two channels only, and since the quality of the pictures must be restricted it is common to only include still pictures. In addition, 96 kHz/24 bit 5.1-channel surround is possible with DVD audio sources, but DVD audio players are required to play them with this high quality. DTS 96/24 is a multi-channel digital signal format developed by Digital Theater Systems Inc. in order to deal with this situation. Conventional surround formats used sampling frequencies of 48 or 44.1 kHz, so 20 kHz was about the maximum playback signal frequency. With DTS 96/24, the sampling frequency is increased to 96 or 88.2 kHz to achieve a wide frequency range of over 40 kHz. In addition, DTS 96/24 has a resolution of 24 bits, resulting in the same frequency band and dynamic range as 96 kHz/24 bit PCM. As with conventional DTS Surround, DTS 96/24 is compatible with à maximum of 5.1 channels, so sources recorded using DTS 96/24 can be played in high sampling frequency, multiple channel audio with such normal media as DVD videos and CDs. Thus, with DTS 96/24, the same 96 kHz/24 bit multi-channel surround sound as with DVD-Audio can be achieved while viewing DVD-Video images on a conventional DVD-Video player (X 1). Furthermore, with DTS 96/24 compatible CDs, 88.2 kHz/24 bit multi-channel surround can be achieved using normal CD/LD players (% 1). Even with the high quality multi-channel signals, the recording time is the same as with conventional DTS surround sources. Whats more, DTS 96/24 is fully compatible with the conventional DTS surround format, so DTS 96/24 signal sources can be played with a sampling frequency of 48 kHz or 44.1 kHz on conventional DTS or DTS-ES surround decoders (% 2). #1: À DVD player with DTS digital output capabilities (for CD/LD players, a player with digital outputs for conventional DTS CDs/LDs) and a disc recorded in DTS 96/24 are required. x2: The resolution is 24 or 20 bits, depending on the decoder.
