TZ mAbout the transmission signal 2 This remote control can emit not only the infrared beams which the conventional remote control(inculding the ROOM 2 g remote control) uses but also the RF (Radio Frequency) beams which are stronger than those. To operate this receiver and other components, this remote control should emit the infrared beams. Cl To operate this receiver only from longer distance even if there are obstacles such as wall, fumiture, etc. in the way, this remote control should emit the RF beams. Therefore, depending on how to use this remote control, you should setthe tansmission signal mode to "IR "(default value) or"RF". (For details, refer to "Changing the transmission signal" on page 28.) mNotes : To receive the RF beams, you should connect the RF remote antenna to this receiver.

Surround modes = DTS Digital Surround DTS Digital Surround(also called simply DTS) is à mutt-channel digital signal format which can handle higher data rates. Discs bearing the “pif ” include the recording of up to

5.1 channels of digital signals, which can be 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. aus =DTS -ES Extended Surround" { LS | This is a new multi channel digital signal format which greatiy 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 itis possible to achieve a sense thatthe 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 domnmixed to the surround left and surround right channels so that none ofthe signal components are lost. *DTS -ES" 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, itis 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 should be selected manually to play these sources. mDTS Neo : 6" 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 ren

+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. *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 96/24 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, this format has a resolution of 24 bits, resulting in the same frequency band and dynamic range as 96kHz / 24 bit PCM signals. As with conventional DTS surround, DTS 96/24 is compatible with à maximum of 5.1 channels. DTS 96/24 is fully compatible with the conventional DTS surround format, so DTS 96/24 sources can be played using a conventional DTS

5.1 channel decoder.
