1 BEFORE USING

Pay attention to the following before using this unit:

- Moving the set

To prevent short circuits or damaged wires in the connection cords, always unplug the power cord and disconnect the connection cords between all other audio components when moving the set.

Before turning the power switch on

Check once again that all connections are proper and that there are not problems with the connection cords. Always set the power switch to the standby position before connecting and disconnecting connection cords.

2 CAUTIONS ON INSTALLATION

(1) AV SURROUND RECEIVER (AVR-M330)

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 (SYS-M330)

When installing, carefully examine the place and method of installation for safety.

When using a stand, brackets, etc., follow the instructions included with the stand or brackets and check for safety before installing and using. Denon will accept no responsibility for damages or accidents caused by the unit falling.

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 SYS-M330 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.
- Set the center speaker (SC-CM330) so that its front surface is facing upwards or downwards, according to the place of installation. We recommend setting it so that the front surface is facing downwards when installed at a position above the ears, upwards when installed on the floor. Use the included pedestal to adjust the angle of installation as shown on the diagram at the right.
When mounting the satellite speaker system (SC-AM330) on a stand or bracket, M5 nuts are inserted into the bottom of the satellite speaker system (SC-AM330) at intervals of 60mm . 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.

• Store this instructions in a safe place.

After reading, store this instructions along with the warranty in a safe place.
- Note that the illustrations in this instructions may differ from the actual set for explanation purposes.

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

※ 10cm / 4 inch or more

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.

3 CAUTIONS ON HANDLING

(1) AV SURROUND RECEIVER (AVR-M330)

• 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 (SYS-M330)

Note that color blotching may occur on a TV, etc., due to interaction with the speaker system if there is a magnet or an object generating magnetic force nearby.

Examples: (a) When there are magnets on the door of the rack, stand, etc.
(b) When a health device, etc., equipped with magnets is placed nearby.
(c) When toys or other objects using magnets are placed nearby.

Note that the illustrations in this instructions may differ from the actual set for explanation purposes.
- Be sure to keep the operating instructions.

After reading these operating instructions, store them in a safe place. We also recommend filling in the necessary items on the back cover.

5 CONNECTIONS

• Do not plug in the AC cord until all connections have been completed.
• Be sure to connect the left and right channels properly (left with left, right with right).

• Insert the plugs securely. Incomplete connections will result in the generation of noise.

• Note that binding pin plug cords together with AC cords or placing them near a power transformer will result in generating hum or other noise.

• Noise or humming may be generated if a connected audio equipment is used independently without turning the power of this unit on. If this happens, turn on the power of the this unit.

(1) Speaker system connections

• When connecting, use connection cords A and B included with the DHT-M330DV. The connection cords are color-coded by different colored plugs and labels. Connect in such a way that the colors are the same as the AV surround receiver's speaker terminals.
• Connect the side of the included connection cord with the colored label to the "+" (plus) side.

[ Description of speaker label ]

• Use connection cords of the colors corresponding to the position of speaker installation, and connect to the AV surround amplifier.

Precautions when connecting speakers

If a speaker is placed near a TV video monitor, the colors on the screen may be disturbed by the speaker's magnetism. If this should happen, move the speaker away to a position where it does not have this effect.

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. Inverting the polarities will result in unnatural sound, with the phase off or no low bass sound.

• Connect the side of the included connection cord with the colored label to the "+" (plus) side.

Protector circuit

• The AV surround amplifier (AVC-M330) is equipped with a built-in protection circuit. The purpose of this circuit is to cut off the output to the speakers in order to protect them under circumstances such as when the output of the amplifier is inadvertently short-circuited and a large current flows or when there is an extremely large output.

The protection circuit is also activated when the internal temperature is unusually high. (When the protection circuit is activated due to high internal temperature, the volume indicator flashes and the speaker output is restricted. If the internal temperature rises further, the power is set to the standby mode and the power indicator flashes red.) In such cases, be sure to unplug the AV surround amplifier's power cord from the power outlet, check the wiring of the connection cords and input cords for any abnormalities, and if the AV surround amplifier's temperature is extremely high, wait for it to cool down, improve ventilation around the amplifier, then turn the power back on.

If the protection circuit is activated even though there are no problems with the wiring or with ventilation around the AV surround amplifier, there may be a problem with the AV surround amplifier. Unplug the AV surround amplifier's power cord from the power outlet, then contact a DENON service or repair 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 Ω/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.

(2) Connecting the DVD Player and TV

• Connect the DVD player's video signals directly to the TV and switch the picture on the TV.
• When making connections, also refer to the operating instructions of the other components.

Connecting the AUDIO Jack

• Connect the video disc player's analog audio output jacks (ANALOG AUDIO OUT) to the DVD IN jacks using pin plug cords.

Connecting the DIGITAL Jack

• Use a commercially available optical transmission cable for connection to the optical transmission terminal (OPTICAL).

(3) Connecting the Audio Signals of a Digital Satellite Tuner and VCR

• Connect the video signals directly to the TV and switch the picture on the TV.
• When making connections, also refer to the operating instructions of the other components.

Connection to the optical digital input terminal

NOTES:

• When buttons are pressed while setting the preset memory, their signals are sent from the remote control transmitter, so cover the remote control sensor when setting the preset memory to prevent accidental operation.
• Depending on the model and year of make, some of the remote control codes for the brands included on the tables may not operate properly.
• For some brands there are multiple types of remote control codes. If an operation does not work, try changing to one of the other codes.

Surround parameters (1) (2-channel mode)

AUTO-ST (auto stereo) mode

2-channel sources are played in 2-channel stereo.

When this mode is selected in the auto decode mode, multi-channel sources (DVD, BS digital, etc.) are played in the multi-channel mode, while 2-channel sources (CDs, etc.) are automatically played in stereo.

PLII CINEMA / PLII MUSI / PLII GAME

Even 2-channel sources undergo Dolby Pro Logic II processing and are played in the multi-channel mode.

Dolby Digital Pro-Logic II processing is applied to 2-channel sources as well to play them in the multi-channel mode.

• PLII CINEMA (Dolby Pro Logic II CINEMA) mode

The Cinema mode is for use with stereo television shows and all programs encoded in Dolby Surround.

• PLII MUSIC (Dolby Pro Logic II MUSIC) mode

The Music mode is recommended as the standard mode for auto sound music systems (no video), and is optional for AV systems.

• PLII GAME (Dolby Pro Logic II GAME) mode

The Game mode for playing games. The game mode can only be used with 2-channel audio sources.

DTS NEO:6 CINEMA/NEO : 6 MUSIC mode

• NEO:6 CINEMA mode

This mode is optimum for playing movies. Decoding is performed with emphasis on separation performance to achieve the same atmosphere with 2-channel sources as with 5.1 or 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 and SR channels).

• NEO:6 MUSIC mode

This mode is suited mainly for playing music. The front channel (FL and FR) signals bypass the decoder and are played directly so there is no loss of sound quality, and the effect of the surround signals output from the center (C) and surround (SL and SR) channels add a natural sense of expansion to the sound field.

(3) 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.

5-speaker mode

The sound is played in the wide mode expanding the 5.1-channel playback and front 2-channel speaker sound field. This is convenient when the front speakers cannot be moved very far apart.

• Switch between the reference and wide modes by selecting the surround parameters in steps 3 and 4.

(4) Playing in the DSP 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 2 preset surround modes can be selected according to the program source. (Analog and PCM sources only. Except 96kHz PCM source.)

1	5CH STEREO (M. CH STEREO)	The Front left channel signals are output to the surround and surround back signal left channels, the front right channel signals are output to the surround and surround back signal right channels, and the in-phase component of the left and right channels is output to the center channel. Use this mode to enjoy stereo sound.
2	HALL	When playing recordings of live music, this mode provides a feeling similar to actually being in a concert hall. When this mode is selected, the normal program source is directed to the main speakers and a reverberated sound is directed to the surround speakers. This mode is suited to program sources which contain a large amount of reverberation.

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, SDB/P.EQ control settings and playback level balance for the different output channels are memorized for each surround mode.

DOLBY/DTS SURROUND

Surround

The AVR-M330 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 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 30)
DVD	Optical or coaxial digital output (same as for PCM) ※2	Set the input mode to “AUTO”. (Page 30)
Others (satellite broadcasts, CATV, etc.)	Optical or coaxial digital output (same as for PCM)	Set the input mode to “AUTO”. (Page 30)

※ 1 Please use a commercially available adapter when connecting the Dolby Digital RF output jack of the LD player to the digital input jack. Please refer to the instruction manual of the adapter when making connection.
※ 2 Some DVD digital outputs have the function of switching the Dolby Digital signal output method between "bit stream" and "(convert to) PCM". When playing in Dolby Digital surround on the AVR-M330, switch the DVD player's 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-M330.

(2) Dolby Pro Logic IIx

• Dolby Pro Logic IIx furthers the matrix decoding technology of Dolby Pro Logic II to decode audio signals recorded on two channels into up to 7.1 playback channels, including the surround back channel. Dolby Pro Logic IIx also allows 5.1-channel sources to be played in up to 7.1 channels.

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 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.

※ 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 II 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

When either of these signals is input to the AVR-M330, the surround mode is automatically set to Dolby Pro Logic II when the "AUTO DECODE" mode is selected.

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

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.

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 that 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.

DTS compatible media and playback methods

Marks indicating DTS compatibility: SURROUND

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

Media	Dolby 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 30). 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 30). 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 30).

※ 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 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.
※ 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 the AVR-M330, 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 the AVR-M330 (see page 31) lights before turning up the master volume.
※ 3 A DVD player with DTS-compatible digital output is required to play DTS DVDs. A 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 player's owner's manual for information on configuring the digital output for DTS playback of DTS-encoded DVDs.

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 greatly 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 independently 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 SB 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 producer's 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.

(For instructions on selecting the surround mode, see page 48.)

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:6TM 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 20Hz to 20kHz 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 performed 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 (C) and surround (SL, SR and SB) channels.

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.

Reference mode

Wide mode

□ : 2 front channels
: Virtual sound field created with the Dolby Virtual Speaker mode

With the AVR-M330, playback in the Dolby Virtual Speaker mode is possible with other speaker configurations as well.

• 3 speakers (2 front channels + center): Reference/Wide modes
• 5 speakers (2 front channels + center + 2 surround channels): Wide mode

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.
