SURROUND SOUND

This unit incorporates a sophisticated Digital Signal Processor that allows you to create optimum sound quality and sound atmosphere in your personal Home Theater.

Surround modes

DTS Digital Surround

DTS Digital Surround(also called simply DTS) is a multi-channel digital signal format which can handle higher data rates than Dolby Digital. Although both

Dolby Digital and DTS are 5.1 channel formats, discs bearing the are generally thought to provide better sound quality due to the lower audio compression required.

It also provides wide dynamic range and separation, resulting in magnificent sound.

DTS-ES Extended SurroundTM

This is a new multi channel digital signal format which greatly improves the 360-degree surround impression and space expression thanks to further expanded surround signals, offering high compatibility with the conventional DTS format. In addition to the 5.1 channels, DTS-ES Extended Surround also offers the 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 follows:

DTS-ES™ Discrete 6.1

Because the signals for 6.1 channels (including the surround back channel) are fully independent, it is possible to achieve a sense that the acoustic image 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 surround back channel signals are automatically downmixed to the surround left and surround right channels so that none of the signal components are lost.

• DTS - ESTM Matrix 6.1

With this format, the additional surround back channel signals undergo matrix encoding and are input to the surround left and surround right channels

beforehand. During playback, they are decoded to the surround left, surround right and surround back channels. Because the bit stream format is 100% compatible with conventional DTS signals, the effect of the DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 format can be achieved even with DTS 5.1- channel signal sources. Of course, it is possible to play DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 - channel signal sources with a DTS 5.1 - channel decoder.

When DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 or Matrix 6.1 sources are decoded with a DTS - ES decoder, the format is automatically detected upon decoding and the optimum surround mode is selected.

However, some DTS - ES Matrix 6.1 sources may be detected as DTS sources. In this case, the DTS - ES Matrix mode must be selected manually to play these sources.

• In DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 or DTS -ES Matrix 6.1 sources, the surround back channel is monaural, but can be played through a single(in 6.1 mode) or two surround back speakers(in 7.1 mode) depending on the surround back speaker setting. (For details, refer to "SETTING THE SPEAKER SETUP" on page 38.)

DTS Neo: 6^TM surround

This mode applies conventional 2-channel signals such as digital PCM or analog stereo signals to the high precision digital matrix decoder used for DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 to achieve 6.1-channel surround playback. DTS Neo : 6 surround includes two modes for selecting the optimum decoding for the signal source.

• DTS Neo : 6 Movie

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.

• DTS Neo : 6 Music

This mode is suited mainly for playing music. The front left and front right signals bypass the decoder and are played directly so there is no loss of sound quality, and the effect of the surround signals from the center, surround left, surround right and surround back channels adds a natural sense of expansion to the sound field.

"DTS", "DTS-ES Extended Surround" and "Neo:6" are trademarks of Digital Theater Systems, Inc.

Dolby Digital

Dolby Digital is the multi- channel digital signal format developed by Dolby Laboratories. Discs bearing the “ DOLBY ” includes the DIGITAL

recording of up to 5.1 channels of digital signals, which can reproduce much better sound quality, spatial expansion and dynamic range characteristics than the previous Dolby Surround effect.

Dolby Pro Logic

Dolby Pro Logic is a specially encoded two channel surround format which consists of four channels ( front left, center, front right and surround). Sources bearing the “ DOLBY SURROUND ” provide the theater - like surround sound.

The surround channel is monaural, but is played through both surround speakers.

Dolby Pro Logic II surround

This mode applies conventional 2- channel signals such as digital PCM or analog stereo signals as well as Dolby Surround signals, etc. to surround processing to offer improvements over conventional Dolby Pro Logic circuits. Dolby Pro Logic II surround includes two modes as follows:

• Dolby Pro Logic II MOVIE

When enjoying movies, this mode allows you to further enhance the cinematic quality by adding processing that emphasizes the sounds of the action special effects.

• Dolby Pro Logic II MUSIC

When listening to music, this mode allows you to further enhance the sound quality by adding processing that emphasizes the musical effects.

Dolby Virtual

This mode employs sophisticated digital processing to create the illusion of "phantom" speakers, this mode allows you to experience surround sound effects from Dolby Digital, Dolby Surround or 2-channel (recorded in digital PCM or analog stereo) sources, through just a single pair of front speakers.

Manufactured under license from Dolby Laboratories.

"Dolby", "Pro Logic", and the double-D symbol are trademarks of Dolby Laboratories.

MPEG Multichannel

This mode is a surround system which faithfully reproduces the ambience and dynamics of movie soundtracks and music alike. Though the number of audio channels are same as Dolby Digital, discs bearing the "MPEG1" Multichannel provides much better at locating individual sounds to the correct and stable position in the sound stage.

Extra Surround 6.1/7.1

This mode extracts the surround back (sometimes also referred to as "surround center") signals from the surround left and surround right signals and reproduce it as well as the original multichannel signals during playback of multi-channel program sources recorded in DTS, Dolby Digital, etc.

• The following modes apply conventional 2-channel signals such as digital PCM or analog stereo signals to high performance Digital Signal Processor to recreate sound fields artificially. Select one of the twelve provided surround modes according to the program source you want to play.

Theater

This mode provides the effect of being in a theater -in-the round when watching a play.

Movie

This mode provides the effect of being in a movie theater when watching a movie.

Hall 1/2

This mode provides the ambience of a chamber hall for chamber music or an instrumental solo (Hall 1) or a concert hall for orchestral music or an opera (Hall 2).

Stadium

This mode provides the expansive sound field to achieve the true stadium effect when watching baseball or soccer games.

Church

This mode provides the ambience of a church for baroque, string orchestral or choral group music.

Arena 1/2

This mode provides the feeling of a live concert in a medium - sized (Arena 1) or large (Arena 2) arena.

Club 1/2

This mode creates the sound field of a jazz club with a low ceiling and hard walls (Club 1) or a live house with a relatively spacious floor (Club 2).

Game

Use this mode to enjoy video game sources.

Matrix

This mode reproduces a delayed signals from the surround channels to emphasize the sense of expansion for music sources.

• When using the 7.1 CH DIRECT INPUTs to play back the sound from an additional multichannel decoder for surround sound, you can enjoy the corresponding surround sound, too. (For details, refer to the operating instructions of the component to be connected.)

For your reference, the sound from each channel can be reproduced according to the surround modes as follows:

: Depending on the surround back speaker setting, the sound from the SURROUND BACK CENTER or L/R channels can be reproduced.

• Depending on the speaker settings and the number of the encoded channels, the sound from the corresponding channels cannot be reproduced.(For details, refer to "SETTING THE SPEAKER SETUP" on page 38.)

Speaker placement

Ideal speaker placement varies depending on the size of your room and the wall coverings, etc. The typical example of speaker placement and recommendations are as follows :

■ Front left and right speakers and center speaker

• Place the front speakers with their front surfaces as flush with TV or monitor screen as possible.
• Place the center speaker between the front left and right speakers and no further from the listening position than the front speakers.
• Place each speaker so that sound is aimed at the location of the listener's ears when at the main listening position.

Surround left and right speakers

• Place the surround speakers approximately 1 meter (40 inches) above the ear level of a seated listener on the direct left and right of them or slightly behind.

Surround back left and right speakers.

• Place the surround back speakers at the back facing the front at a narrower distance than the front speakers.
• When using a single surround back speaker, place it at the rear center facing the front at a slightly higher position (0 to 10 inches) than the surround speakers.
• We recommend installing the surround back speaker(s) at a slightly downward facing angle. This effectively prevents the surround back channel signals from reflecting off the TV or screen at the front center, resulting in interference and making the sense of movement from the front to the back less sharp.

Subwoofer

• The subwoofer reproduces powerful deep bass sounds. Place a powered subwoofer anywhere in the front as desired.

Notes :

• When using a conventional TV, to avoid interference with the TV picture, use only magnetically shielded front left and right and center speakers.
• To obtain the best surround effects, the speakers except the subwoofer should be full range speakers.

1. TV or screen
2. Surround right speaker
3. Front left speaker
4. Surround back left speaker
5. Subwoofer
6. Surround back right speaker
7. Center speaker
8. Surround back center speaker
9. Front right speaker
10. Listing position

• Surround sound effect will not work properly if the signal passes through a graphic equalizer.

Please refer to your equalizer operating instructions for guidance on switching off (or defeating) the equalizer.
