2 CAUTIONS ON INSTALLATION

(1) DVD SURROUND RECEIVER

Noise or disturbance of the picture may be generated if this unit or any other electronic equipment using microprocessors is used near a tuner or TV.

If this happens, take the following steps:

• Install this unit as far as possible from the tuner or TV.
• Set the antenna wires from the tuner or TV away from this unit's power cord and input/output connection cords.
• Noise or disturbance tends to occur particularly when using indoor antennas or 300 /ohms feeder wires. We recommend using outdoor antennas and 75 /ohms coaxial cables.

(2) SPEAKER SYSTEM (D-M51DVS only)

SC-A3L

The quality of the sound produced from the speaker system is affected by the size and type (Japanese or Western) of the room, as well as by the method of installation. Consider the points listed below before installing the speaker system.

• Note that placing the speaker system on the same stand or shelf as a record player may result in howling.
• If there is a wall, glass door, etc., directly in front of or behind the speaker system, cover the wall or door with a thick curtain to prevent resonance and reflection.
• The SC-A3L speaker systems are of the low-leakage-flux type and can be used near televisions, but depending on the TV there may be color blotching on the picture. If this happens, turn off the TV's power, wait 15 to 30 minutes, then turn the TV's power back on. The TV's automatic degaussing circuit should reduce the blotching on the picture. If blotching persists, move the speaker further away.
• When placing the satellite speaker system (SC-A3L) on a stand, etc., stick the included anti-slip pads (cork, approximately 2 mm thick) at the four corners of the bottom surface. (Refer to the illustration below.)
• When mounting the satellite speaker system (SC-A3L) on a stand or bracket, M5 nuts are inserted into the bottom of the satellite speaker system (SC-A3L) at intervals of 60~mm . When mounting, following the instructions in the manual included with the speaker stand or ceiling mount bracket, and be sure to install properly and securely.
• When the satellite speaker system (SC-A3L) is mounted on a ceiling mount bracket, it is turned upside down due to the installation angle. The Denon mark is also turned upside down, so detach the speaker net and reattach it in the opposite direction.

DSW-3L

• Note that placing the active subwoofer on the same stand or shelf as a record player may result in howling.
• The DSW-3L active subwoofer is a Lowleakage-Flux type speaker system and can be used near televisions, but depending on the TV there may be color blotching on the picture. If this happens, turn off the TV's power, move the TV and subwoofer a little apart, wait 15 to 30 minutes, then turn the TV's power back on. The TV's automatic degaussing circuit should reduce the blotching on the picture. If blotching persists, move the subwoofer and TV further away from each other.
• Install on a firm, flat floor to prevent accidents due to toppling down.
• Do not place a record player, CD player or other AV device on top of the subwoofer.

For heat dispersal, leave at least 10~cm / 4 inch of space between the top, back and sides of this unit and the wall or other components.

※ 10cm/4 inch or more

[Satellite speaker system (illustration of bottom of SC-A3L)]

Stick the anti-slip pads (cork, approximately 2 mm thick) here.

Speaker stand/speaker bracket mount screw holes

Stick the anti-slip pads (cork, approximately 2mm thick) here.

CAUTION:

• To ensure safety, do not place any objects on top or lean objects against the speaker system.
• The speaker may topple down or fall if force is applied to the sides. Be particularly careful to avoid this, as this could cause injury or other serious accidents.

WARNING:

• When installing the speaker systems on the ceiling or wall, to ensure safety, have specialists do the installation work.
• Be sure to fasten the speaker cords to a wall, etc., to prevent people from tripping over them or otherwise pulling on them accidentally, causing the speaker systems to fall.
• Be sure to check for safety after installing the speaker systems. Afterwards, perform safety inspections at regular intervals to be sure there is no danger that the speaker systems will fall. Denon will accept no responsibility for damages or accidents caused by inappropriate choice of the place of installation or improper installation procedures.
• For your safety, do not put anything nor lean yourself on the loudspeakers.
• Do not push the loudspeaker from aside to protect it from topping that may cause serious accident.
  Fix speaker cables to prevent being caught on it and making loudspeakers topping down.

3 CAUTIONS ON HANDLING

(1) DVD SURROUND RECEIVER

• Switching the input function when input jacks are not connected

A clicking noise may be produced if the input function is switched when nothing is connected to the input jacks. If this happens, either turn down the MASTER VOLUME control or connect components to the input jacks.

• Muting of PRE OUT jacks, HEADPHONE jack and SPEAKER terminals

The PRE OUT jacks, HEADPHONE jacks and SPEAKER terminals include a muting circuit. Because of this, the output signals are greatly reduced for several seconds after the power switch is turned on or input function, surround mode or any other-set-up is changed. If the volume is turned up during this time, the output will be very high after the muting circuit stops functioning. Always wait until the muting circuit turns off before adjusting the volume.

• Whenever the power switch is in the STANDBY state, the apparatus is still connected on AC line voltage.

Please be sure to unplug the cord when you leave home for, say, a vacation.

(2) SPEAKER SYSTEM (D-M51DVS only)

• Linear PCM audio is the signal recording format used for music CDs.
  While the signals are recorded at 44.1 kHz/16 bit for music CDs, for DVDs they are recorded at 48 kHz/16 bit to 96 kHz/24 bit, providing higher sound quality than music CDs.

About the LINE-1 and LINE-2 analog recording outputs

When the DVD or the D.AUX digital input is selected:

• Dolby Digital, DTS, AAC and PCM digital signals are automatically converted to 2-channel stereo signals before being output (except when in the Dolby Headphone mode) and can be recorded in analog. (For what happens in the Dolby Headphone mode, see 3 below.)

When TUNER, LINE-1 or LINE-2 is selected:

• The selected analog audio signals from the tuner or from the device connected to the LINE-1 or LINE-2 analog input terminals (IN) are output unchanged, regardless of the ADV-M51's input mode or surround mode. (The same is true for the device connected to the D.AUX terminals when "LINE-2" under "10 SETTING UP THE SYSTEM - (3) Detailed system setup - [5] Function settings" is set to "D.AUX".)

Recording output during playback of a DVD, D.AUX or LINE-1 digital input source in the Dolby Headphone mode:

• In the Dolby Headphone mode with a DVD or a digital input selected, the Dolby Headphone mode analog audio signals currently being played are output and can be recorded in analog. (See pages 57 and 58.)

Cautions during analog recording of DVDs or digital input sources:

• Do not switch the ADV-M51's input mode, surround mode or surround parameters during recording. Doing so will interrupt the sound being recorded.
  We recommend setting the surround mode to "STEREO" or "DIRECT".
• When using headphones, recording is automatically performed in the Dolby Headphone mode. Do not disconnect the headphones or switch the headphones mode during recording.

(7) Speaker system connections

Be sure to turn the amplifier's power off when connecting the speaker systems.

• Use the included cables to connect the input terminals on the back of the speaker systems (see diagram) to the amplifier's speaker output terminals. Connect the speaker system for the left channel amplifier's "L" terminals, the one for the right channel to the amplifier's "R" terminals, matching the polarities ("⊕" and "Θ" marks). Inverting the polarities will result in unnatural sound, with the phase off or no low bass sound. Also check that all two terminal knobs are tightly fastened.

Connecting the speaker cords

Use the included connection cords to connect the input terminals on the backs of the speaker systems (see the diagram at the right) to the ADV-M51's speaker output terminals.

• Connect the speaker system for the left channel to the "L" terminals, the speaker system for the right channel to the "R" terminals, and be sure the polarities (^ + ^ and - - ) are properly interconnected.
• Note that if the polarities are inverted, the phase may be off and the bass sound may be missing, resulting in an unnatural sound. Also check that both the speaker terminal's screws are tightly screwed.

The red side is the "+" side, the black side the "-" side.

To "+" side on amplifier

(copper colored core wire)

NOTE: Make sure the core wires do not touch each other.

To " - " side on amplifier

(silver colored core wire)

Either twist the core wires firmly or terminate the wires.

② Insert the cord's core wires.

③Turn clockwise to tighten the terminal.

①Turn the speaker terminal counterclockwise to loosen it.

Connecting banana plugs

When using banana plugs, turn clockwise to tighten the terminal before inserting.

Protector circuit

• This unit is equipped with a high-speed protection circuit. The purpose of this circuit is to protect the speakers under circumstances such as when the output of the power amplifier is inadvertently short-circuited and a large current flows, when the temperature surrounding the unit becomes unusually high, or when the unit is used at high output over a long period which results in an extreme temperature rise.

When the protection circuit is activated, the speaker output is cut off and the power supply indicator LED flashes. Should this occur, please follow these steps: be sure to switch off the power of this unit, check whether there are any faults with the wiring of the speaker cables or input cables, and wait for the unit to cool down if it is very hot. Improve the ventilation condition around the unit and switch the power back on.

If the protection circuit is activated again even though there are no problems with the wiring or the ventilation around the unit, switch off the power and contact a DENON service center.

Note on speaker impedance

• The protector circuit may be activated if the set is played for long periods of time at high volumes when speakers with an impedance lower than the specified impedance (for example speakers with an impedance of lower than 4/ohms ) are connected. If the protector circuit is activated, the speaker output is cut off. Turn off the set's power, wait for the set to cool down, improve the ventilation around the set, then turn the power back on.

Cautions on connecting

• With this unit's speaker outputs, signals with the reverse phase of the "+" side output terminal's signals are also output from the "-" side output terminal.

Do not connect to a device for switching between multiple speakers (a speaker selector or audio channel selector) or connect in ways other than described in this manual. Doing so will result in damage.

(8) Using the active subwoofer (DSW-3L) (D-M51DVS only)

1. Set the power switch to the "ON" position.

2. When the unit's AC power cord is plugged into a switched AC outlet on the amplifier, if the power switch is left at the "ON" position, the unit's power turns on and off automatically when the amplifier's power is turned on and off.

3. If the AC power cord is not plugged into a switched AC outlet on the amplifier, set the unit's power switch to the "ON" position after turning on the amplifier's power. When turning the power off, set the unit's power switch to the "OFF" position before turning off the amplifier's power.

4. Adjust the volume using the volume adjustment control.

※ For details, see "PART NAMES AND FUNCTIONS".

(9) Removing the speaker net (SC-A3L) (D-M51DVS only)

• The net on the front of the speaker systems (SC-A3L) can be removed.
• To remove, grasp both sides of the net and pull forward.
  To mount, line up the holes in the four corners of the speaker net with the projecting pieces in the four corners of the cabinet and press in.

Active subwoofer (DSW-3L) rear panel

Line input connector (LINE IN)

• Connect this to the AV amplifier's pre-out connector ("SUBWOOFER", "MONO OUT", etc.) using the included connection cord (3-meter RCA pin cord).

Line output connector (LINE OUT)

• The signal input to the line input connector is output as such from here in parallel.
• When using two active subwoofer, connect the other active subwoofer's line input connector to this connector.

3 Phase selector switch (PHASE)

• This switches the phase of the output signal with respect to the input signal.
• Normally use the subwoofer with this switch set at the "NORM." position. If the continuity between the sound of the active subwoofer and the left and right speakers seems unnatural, try switching to the "REV." position, and set the switch to the position in which the sound is most natural.

4 LF direct switch (LF DIRECT)

• When using the active subwoofer connected to a Dolby Digital- or dts-compatible AV amplifier, if this function is turned on the signals bypass the active subwoofer's crossover and volume adjustment circuits, resulting in purer, higher quality sound. Note that when this is done the crossover adjustment control (5) and volume adjustment control (6) will no longer function.

5 Crossover adjustment control (CROSSOVER)

• This control only functions when the LF DIRECT switch (4) is set to the "OFF" position.
• This control sets the upper limit of the frequencies reproduced by the active subwoofer.
• Setting criteria

50Hz : For left/right speakers with diameters of 20 cm or greater

100Hz : For left/right speakers with diameters between 10 and 25 cm

200Hz : For left/right speakers with diameters of 12 cm or less

• When using a Dolby Digital- or dts-compatible AV amplifier, we recommend turning the LF DIRECT switch (4) to the "ON" position and not using this function.
  ※ “Dolby” is a trademark of the Dolby Laboratories Licensing Corporation.
  ※“dts” is a trademark of Digital Theater Systems.

About the AV amplifier's crossover frequency selection

The crossover frequency of the satellite speaker/center speaker and the active subwoofer (the boundary between the frequency range produced by the active subwoofer and the other speakers) is set on the connected AV amplifier, and is usually fixed at between 80 and 120kHz .

With some amplifiers, however, including the Denon ADV-M51, this frequency can be selected. When using this type of amplifier, the crossover frequency can be selected to suit your tastes.

When using the DSW-3L active subwoofer with this type of amplifier, a richer sound can be achieved by setting the crossover frequency to around 150Hz . Adjust the crossover frequency to suit your tastes. For instructions on switching, refer to your amplifier's operating instructions.

When connecting to a Dolby Digital- or dts-compatible AV amplifier, whether one on which the crossover frequency is fixed or one on which it can be adjusted, we recommend setting the LF DIRECT switch of the active subwoofer (DSW-3L) to the "ON" position.

Volume adjustment control (LEVEL)

• This control only functions when the LF DIRECT switch (4) is set to the "OFF" position.
• Use this control to adjust the volume of the active subwoofer.
• When turned clockwise () from the center position, the volume of the active subwoofer increases, and when turned counterclockwise () , the volume decreases. Set to the desired position.

7 Auto standby selector switch (AUTO STANDBY)

ON : The auto standby function is activated
OFF : The auto standby function is deactivated

Auto Standby Function

• The amplifier is automatically set to the standby mode if no signal is input for 5 to 11 minutes, thereby saving electricity.

The power turns on immediately when a signal is input.

8 Status indicator

• The two-colored LED indicates the active subwoofer's operating status, as follows:

Power "ON" .Lights green Auto power off (standby mode).Lights red Power "OFF".LED off Protective circuit activated. Flashing red

9 Power switch (POWER)

• The power turns on when this switch is set to the "ON" position.
• Several seconds are required for the set to begin operating. This is because the set includes a built-in muting circuit to prevent noise when the power switch is turned on and off.
• When set to the "OFF" position, the power turns off.

9 REMOTE CONTROL UNIT

• The included remote control unit (RC-936) can be used to operate not only this unit but other remote control compatible DENON components as well. In addition, the memory contains the control signals for other remote control units, so it can be used to operate non-DENON remote control compatible products.

(1) Inserting the batteries

① Remove the remote control unit's rear cover.

② Set three R6P/AA batteries in the battery compartment in the indicated direction.

③ Put the rear cover back on.

Notes on Batteries

• Use R6P/AA batteries in the remote control unit.
• The batteries should be replaced with new ones approximately once a year, though this depends on the frequency of usage.
• Even if less than a year has passed, replace the batteries with new ones if the set does not operate even when the remote control unit is operated nearby the set. (The included battery is only for verifying operation. Replace it with a new battery as soon as possible.)
• When inserting the batteries, be sure to do so in the proper direction, following the “ ” and “ ” marks in the battery compartment.
• To prevent damage or leakage of battery fluid:
• Do not use a new battery together with an old one.
• Do not use two different types of batteries.
• Do not short-circuit, disassemble, heat or dispose of batteries in flames.
• Remove the batteries from the remote control unit when you do not plan to use it for an extended period of time.
• If the battery fluid should leak, carefully wipe the fluid off the inside of the battery compartment and insert new batteries.
• When replacing the batteries, have the new batteries ready and insert them as quickly as possible.

(2) Using the remote control unit

• Point the remote control unit at the remote sensor on the main unit as shown on the diagram.
• The remote control unit can be used from a straight distance of approximately 7 meters/22 feet from the main unit, but this distance will be shorter if there are obstacles in the way or if the remote control unit is not pointed directly at the remote sensor.
• The remote control unit can be operated at a horizontal angle of up to 30 degrees with respect to the remote sensor.

NOTES:

• It may be difficult to operate the remote control unit if the remote sensor is exposed to direct sunlight or strong artificial light.
• Do not press buttons on the main unit and remote control unit simultaneously. Doing so may result in malfunction.

• Neon signs or other devices emitting pulse-type noise nearby may result in malfunction, so keep the set as far away from such devices as possible.

• The included remote control unit (RC-936) can be used to operate not only the ADV-M51 but also to perform system operations for the D-M31 series and to operate other remote control compatible DENON products. In addition, the remote control operation codes of other major brands of TVs and video decks are also stored in the remote control unit, so the unit can be used to operate these TVs and video decks as well.

(3) Operating DENON audio components

• Turn on the power of all the components before operating them.
• Depending on the model and year of make of your component, some of the keys may not work.

1 Set mode switch 1 to the "SYSTEM" position. (Blue print)

© 2CH VIRTUAL & SW

Select this when using two speakers for the front channels and a subwoofer with built-in amplifier.

• Settings

Front : Small

Subwoofer : Yes

Subwoofer frequency : 150 Hz

※ Set the front speakers and subwoofer at equal distances.

NOTE:

• The speaker system is set to "2CH VIRTUAL & SW" upon shipment from the factory. It is not possible to achieve the normal bass sound using this setting but with only speakers for the two front channels. If only using speakers for the two front channels, change the setting to "2CH VIRTUAL".

(3) Detailed system setup (changing the system settings)

• The quick system settings and original settings set upon shipment from the factory are changed using the system setting changing menu. The settings are stored in the memory until they are changed the next time, and remain valid even when the power is turned off.

5

Press the ENTER button to enter the settings.

• The next screen in the system setting changing menu appears.

Remote control unit

NOTE:

• Select the speaker size not by the physical size of the speaker but by the speaker's capacity to reproduce low frequencies of 100Hz or less. If you do not know, determine the best setting by comparing the sound when the setting is set to "Small" and "Large", keeping the volume low enough to prevent damage to the speaker.

NOTE:

• Select "Large" or "Small" not according to the actual size of the speaker but according to the speaker's capacity for playing low frequency (approximately 100Hz and below) signals. If you do not know, try comparing the sound at both settings (setting the volume to a level low enough so as not to damage the speakers) to determine the proper setting.

Parameters

Large...... Select this when using speakers that can fully reproduce low sounds of below 100Hz .

Small.... Select this when using speakers that do not provide sufficient volume for playing low frequencies of 100Hz and less. When this setting is made, frequencies below the frequency set at the subwoofer frequency setting are assigned to the subwoofer.

Yes/No.... Select "Yes" when a subwoofer is installed, "No" when a subwoofer is not installed.

※ If the subwoofer has sufficient low frequency playback capacity, good sound can be achieved even when "Small" is set for the front, speakers.
※ For the majority of speaker system configurations, using the SMALL setting for main speakers and Subwoofer On with a connected subwoofer will yield the best results.

Subwoofer (SW FREQ.) frequency

• For the subwoofer frequency at the speaker setting screen, set the bass crossover frequency for playback from the subwoofer.
• Select "80 Hz", "120 Hz", "150 Hz" or "180 Hz" (-6 dB for each). Bass sound below these frequencies is played from the subwoofer.

(This is set to "150 Hz" by factory default.)

Assignment of low frequencies

• In the Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic II, DTS, and virtual surround modes, the low frequency signals for channels whose speaker settings are set to "Small" are assigned to the subwoofer. The low frequencies of channels set to "Large" are played from those channels.
  (If set to "120 Hz", channels set to "Small" play sounds of 120 Hz and greater, while bass frequencies of under 120 Hz are played from the subwoofer.)
• In surround modes other than the ones listed above, low frequencies below the frequency set at the subwoofer frequency setting are played from the subwoofer regardless of whether the speakers are set to "Large" or "Small".
• Set the subwoofer frequency according to the low frequency playback abilities of your speakers and subwoofer.

Subwoofer mode

• The subwoofer mode setting is only valid when "LARGE" is set for the front speakers and "YES" is set for the subwoofer in the "SPEAKER CONFIGURATION" settings.
• When the "LFE+MAIN" playback mode is selected, the low frequency signal range of channels set to "LARGE" are produced simultaneously from those channels and the subwoofer channel. In this playback mode, the low frequency range expands more uniformly through the room, but depending on the size and shape of the room, interference may result in a decrease of the actual volume of the low frequency range.
• Selection of the "LFE" play mode will play the low frequency signal range of the channel selected with "LARGE" from that channel only. Therefore, the low frequency signal range that are played from the subwoofer channel are only the low frequency signal range of LFE (only during Dolby Digital or DTS signal playback) and the channel specified as "SMALL" in the setup menu.
• Select the play mode that provides bass reproduction with body.
• When the subwoofer is set to "YES", bass sound is output from the subwoofer regardless of the subwoofer mode setting in surround modes other than Dolby/DTS.

[2] Delay time (distance setting)

• Input the distances from the listening position and the various speakers to set the surround delay time.
• Upon shipment from the factory default the delay time is set to the default values in step 3 below.

13 DOLBY / DTS SURROUND

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 Digital's 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.

Dolby Digital and Dolby Pro Logic

Comparison of home surround systems	Dolby Digital	Dolby Pro Logic
No. recorded channels (elements)	5.1 ch	2 ch
No. playback channels	5.1 ch	4 ch
Playback channels (max.)	L, R, C, SL, SR, SW	L, R, C, S (SW - recommended)
Audio processing	Digital discrete processing Dolby Digital encoding/decoding	Analog matrix processing Dolby Surround
High frequency playback limit of surround channel	20 kHz	7 kHz

■ Dolby Digital compatible media and playback methods

Marks indicating Dolby Digital compatibility: DOLBY DIGITAL

The following are general examples. Also refer to the player's operating instructions.

Media	Dolby Digital output jacks	Playback method (reference page)
LD (VDP)	Coaxial Dolby Digital RF output jack※ 1	Set the input mode to “AUTO”.(Page 44, 45)
DVD	Optical or coaxial digital output(same as for PCM)※ 2	Set the input mode to “AUTO”.(Page 44, 45)
Others(satellite broadcasts, CATV, etc.)	Optical or coaxial digital output(same as for PCM)	Set the input mode to “AUTO”.(Page 44, 45)

※ 1 Use a commercially available adapter to connect Dolby Digital RF output signals to the digital input terminals. (Refer to the adapter's operating instructions.)
Please refer to the instruction manual of the adapter when making connection.
※ 2 To play in Dolby Digital Surround on the ADV-M51, set "DVD SETUP" - "AUDIO SETUP" - "DIGITAL OUT" to "Normal" in the setup. (The factory default is "Normal".)

(2) Dolby Pro Logic II

• Dolby Pro Logic II 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 II 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 II 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 II 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 59).

※ 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 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.

① 2-channel PCM stereo signals
② 2-channel Dolby Digital signals

Sources recorded in Dolby Surround are indicated with the logo mark shown below.

Dolby Surround support mark: DOLBY SURROUND

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 a 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 rate. 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.

Other media include CDs recorded in DTS. These are the same discs as conventional CDs (recorded in 2 channels) but include 5.1 channel surround signals. They do not include images, but they do permit surround playback on the ADV-M51 and on CD players.DTS surround track playback offers the same intricate, grand sound as in a movie theater, right in your own listening room.

DTS compatible media and playback methods

Marks indicating DTS compatibility:

and

The following are general examples. Also refer to the player's operating instructions.

Media	DTS Digital output jacks	Playback method (reference page)
CD	Optical or coaxial digital output (same as for PCM) ※ 2	Set the input mode to “AUTO” or “DTS” (page 44, 45). Never set the mode to “ANALOG” or “PCM”. ※ 1
LD (VDP)	Optical or coaxial digital output (same as for PCM) ※ 2	Set the input mode to “AUTO” or “DTS” (page 44, 45). Never set the mode to “ANALOG” or “PCM”. ※ 1
DVD	Optical or coaxial digital output (same as for PCM) ※ 3	Set the input mode to “AUTO” or “DTS” (page 44, 45).

※ 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 player's 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 is true when playing CDs and LDs recorded in DTS on the ADV-M51 or on LD/DVD compatible players. With DVDs, the DTS signals are recorded with a special recording method so there is no problem. For DVDs, the DTS signals are recorded in a special way so this problem does not occur.
※ 2 The signals provided at the digital outputs of a CD or LD player may undergo some sort of internal signal processing (output level adjustment, sampling frequency conversion, etc.). In this case the DTS-encoded signals may be processed erroneously, in which case they cannot be decoded by this unit, or may only produce noise. Before playing DTS signals for the first time, turn down the master volume to a low level, start playing the DTS disc, then check whether the DTS indicator on this unit (see page 45) lights before turning up the master volume.
※ 3 To play in DTS Digital Surround on the ADV-M51, set "DVD SETUP" — "AUDIO SETUP" — "DIGITAL OUT" to "Normal" in the setup. (The factory default is "Normal".)

Dolby Virtual Speaker

Dolby Virtual Speaker technology uses proprietary technology of Dolby Laboratories to create a virtual surround sound field using only two speakers for the front channels, allowing the user to experience sound as if surround speakers were actually being used.

Features of Dolby Virtual Speaker sound

Accurate surround sound field positioning

The virtual surround speakers are positioned at 105^ to the left and 105^ to the right.

Multi-channel programs played according to the producer's intentions

The sound of the different channels is played in the position set upon mixing. For example, sound set at the rear left is heard from the rear left.

Stereo programs played in surround

The Dolby Pro Logic II circuit is used together with the Dolby Virtual Speaker circuitry to create a rich virtual surround sound field with stereo programs as well.

Selecting the listening mode

Two listening modes are provided: Reference and Wide.

Dolby Headphone

Dolby Headphone is a 3D sound technology developed jointly by Dolby Laboratories and Lake Technology of Australia achieving surround sound with regular headphones.

Normally when using headphones all the sounds are sounded in the head, making it uncomfortable to listen with headphones for long periods of time. Dolby Headphone simulates speaker playback in a room and positions the sound sources to the front or the sides, outside of the head, achieving a powerful sound similar to that of a movie theater or home theater. This technology is aimed mainly at multi-channel audio or video equipment including Dolby Digital or Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoding functions and operates inside a high performance digital signal processing chip (DSP).

The Dolby Headphone mode can be used not only with multi-channel sources but also with stereo programs.

(1) Playing in the Dolby Virtual Speaker mode

• The Dolby Virtual Speaker mode is a mode using 3D sound technology from Dolby Laboratories to achieve multi-channel surround sound using only two speakers for the front channels.
• With two speakers for the front channels, one of two modes can be selected: Reference or Wide.
• The Dolby Virtual Speaker mode can be used not only with Dolby Digital and DTS multi-channel sources but also with 2-channel sources. With 2-channel sources, one of two 2-channel modes can be selected: Virtual 1 (Dolby Pro Logic II Cinema) and Virtual 2 (Dolby Pro Logic).

• This parameter adjusts the dynamic range of the Dolby Digital or DTS sound. When listening with the volume turned relatively low, at night for example, set this to the "HI" side to lower the peak of the sound and amplify the quieter sounds, narrowing the dynamic range and making the sound easier to listen to. Set to "OFF" to turn this function off.

• With DTS sources, only displayed for sources compatible with dynamic range compression.

LFE (Low Frequency Effect):

• Program source and adjustment range

• Dolby Digital : -10 dB to 0 dB

• DTS Surround : -10 dB to 0 dB

• When Dolby Digital encoded software is played, it is recommended that the LFE LEVEL be set to 0 dB for correct Dolby Digital playback.

• When DTS encoded movie software is played, it is recommended that the LFE LEVEL be set to 0 dB for correct DTS playback.
• When DTS encoded music software is played, it is recommended that the LFE LEVEL be set to -10 dB for correct DTS playback.

[2] 2-channel mode settings

• When 2-channel signals are input, one of two playback modes can be selected and set according to the 2-channel mode setting, Virtual 1 or Virtual 2. (The Virtual 1 mode is set by factory default.)

Virtual 1 : 2-channel sources are played in virtual surround using Dolby Pro Logic II Cinema processing.

(2) Playing in the DENON original surround modes

• This unit is equipped with a high performance DSP (Digital Signal Processor) which uses digital signal processing to synthetically recreate the sound field. One of 3 preset surround modes can be selected according to the program source and the parameters can be adjusted according to the conditions in the listening room to achieve a more realistic, powerful sound. These surround modes can also be used for program sources not recorded in Dolby Surround Pro Logic or Dolby Digital.

1	ROCK ARENA	Use this mode to achieve the feeling of a live concert in an arena with reflected sounds coming from all directions.
2	JAZZ CLUB	This mode creates the sound field of a live house with a low ceiling and hard walls. This mode gives jazz a very vivid realism.
3	VIDEO GAME	Use this to enjoy video game sources.

※ Depending on the source being played, the effect may not be very strong.
In such cases, try other surround modes without paying too much attention to their names and choose the one you feel is best.

NOTE 1: When playing sources recorded in monaural, the sound is one-sided if only one channel (left or right) is input, so input signals to both channels.

Personal Memory Plus

This set is equipped with a personal memorize function that automatically memorizes the surround modes and input modes selected for the input different sources. When the input source is switched, the modes set for that source last time it was used are automatically recalled.
- Settings automatically stored in the memory for the individual input functions using the Personal Memory Plus function:

① Surround mode (including 2-channel decode mode and Dolby Pro Logic II mode settings)
② Input mode selection function
The surround parameters, TONE/SDB control settings and playback level balance for the different output channels are memorized for each surround mode.

(6) MP3 WMA Playback

[1] Listening to Recorded MP3 CD/CD-R/CD-RW

There are many music distribution sites on the internet from which music files in MP3 format can be downloaded. Music downloaded as instructed on the site and written onto a CD-R/RW disc can be played on the ADV-M51.

If music recorded on commercially available music CDs is converted on a computer into MP3 files using an MP3 encoder (conversion software), the data on a 12 cm CD is reduced into about 1/10 the amount of the original data. Thus, when written in MP3 format, the data of about 10 music CDs can fit onto a single CD-R/RW disc. A single CD-R/RW disc can contain over 100 tracks.

Values when 5-minute tracks are converted with a standard bit rate of 128 kbps into MP3 files and using a CD-R/RW disc with a capacity of 650 MB.

1 Load the CD-R/RW disc on which the MP3 format music files have been written into this unit. (See page 39.)

• When the disc is loaded in the ADV-M51, the disc information screen appears.
• If there are multiple folders, proceed to step 2.
• If there are no folders on the disc (if the disc only contains MP3 files), proceed to step 3.

※ All the folders recorded on the disc are displayed. (The folders are not displayed by layer.)

Use the and cursor buttons to select the folder containing the file(s) you want to play, then press the ENTER button.

NOTES:

• The ADV-M51 is compatible with the "MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3" standards (sampling frequency of 32, 44.1 or 48 kHz). It is not compatible with such other standards as "MPEG-2 Audio Layer 3", "MPEG-2.5 Audio Layer 3", MP1, MP2, etc.
• It may not be possible to play some CD-R/RW discs due to disc properties, dirt, warping, etc.
• The digital signals output when playing MP3 files are MP3 signals converted into PCM, regardless of whether the audio output presenting is set to "normal" or "PCM conversion". The signals are output with the same sampling frequency as that of the music source.
• In general, the higher an MP3 file's bit rate, the better the sound quality. On the ADV-M51, we recommend using MP3 files recorded with bit rates of 128 kbps or greater.
• MP3 files may not be played in the expected order, since the writing software may change the position of the folders and the order of the files when writing them on the CD-R/RW.
