PRODUCT NOT APPROVED BY THE

• Utilizes Pro Logic II with advanced digital matrix technology for 5.1 channel decoding of 2- channel CD and radio.

Newly developed 32-bit DSP LSI with advanced processing performance

• DSF function allows application of 6 sound field effect patterns following decoding of DTS, Dolby Digital 5.1ch format, or Dolby Pro Logic II signals.

• The parametric equalizer function allows you to adjust the frequency characteristics to suit the car.

High precision 96 kHz / 24 bit D/A converter used in all channels

Supports analog input connectors (RCA 2ch) (when optional control unit is connected)

Thin-line chassis can be installed beneath seat.

• DTS (Digital Theater System) is an audio compression technology developed by Digital Theater Systems, Inc. Its low compression ratio provides a higher quantity of data and thus higher quality sound. ∗ Manufactured under license from Digital Theater Systems, Inc. US Pat.

• Using the newest in digital matrix technology, Dolby Pro Logic II is a matrix decoder technology which further improves earlier Dolby Pro Logic. This new technology produces superb 5.1ch sound even with CDs and other stereo sources. The surround channel is converted to full-band (20 Hz-20 kHz) stereo, thus allowing stereo sources to be enjoyed with the impact of 5.1ch sound. Four modes can be set in accordance with the playback source, including MUSIC mode, MATRIX mode, MOVIE mode, and VIRTUAL mode.

• Dolby Digital is a totally discrete digital 5.1 channel format. Signals for the front 3 channels, 2 surround channels, and the low-frequency 0.1 channel are recorded discretely, so no crosstalk occurs between channels, and the sense of placement and depth of the sounds is reproduced faithfully. ∗ Manufactured under license from Dolby Laboratories. “Dolby”, “Pro Logic” and double-D symbol are trademarks of Dolby Laboratories.

• To get maximum enjoyment from the sound-field functions of this component, the use of a 5.1ch speaker system is recommended. To demonstrate optimum audio response, modify the adjust mode’s default settings for “SP-SEL,” “FILTER,” “SP-GAIN,” and “DELAY” in accordance with the composition of your speaker system (see P.8-10). Note that in order to play 2-ch sound sources (music CDs, etc.) in 5.1ch mode, one of the Dolby Pro Logic II modes must be selected, or DSF must be set to ON (see P. 7).

• When playing a DTS-compatible DVD video or music CD, some noise may be heard for the short interval required for this unit to detect the DTS signal.

• During playback of Dolby digital or DTS source, some sound interruption may be heard if the search/skip/pause modes are operated before playback.

Digital Inputs (When Optical Digital Cable is Connected)

• When optical digital cable is used to connect components like a DVD changer, the digital signals are given precedence in processing.

• When Dolby Digital (other than 2ch), DTS, Linear PCM (96 kHz) or other digital signals are input, the Dolby Pro Logic II mode can be selected, but the mode will not perform ordinary audio processing.

• When MP3 (32 kHz) and Linear PCM (96 kHz) digital signals are input, the Parametric Equalizer (P.EQ) function can be operated, but it will not perform audio processing. ■ Sound Effects and Sound-Field Compensation with Digital and Analog Signals Input Signal Sampling Rate Recording Recording PLII DSF P.EQ Format channels function function function fs=32 kHz MP3 etc. 2ch O O × fs=44.1 kHz CD-DA 2ch O O O Linear PCM 2ch O O O Digital signals fs=48 kHz Dolby Digital 2ch O O O (Not 2ch) × OO DTS 2ch~5.1ch × OO fs=96 kHz Linear PCM 2ch × O × Analog signals — — 2ch O O O O: Adjustable ×: Adjustable without audio processing (Analog signals: when connected to CeNET connectors or analog input connectors)DVH940 7 English Dolby Pro Logic II Menu Selection About the Dolby Pro Logic II Mode• Initial setting is [PL II OFF].■ MUSIC mode• Suitable for CDs and other stereo sources.■ MATRIX mode• Suitable for AM/FM radio sources.■ MOVIE mode• Suitable for DVD video movies.■ VIRTUAL mode• Suitable for movies and other audio sources.1.
