Special features

True home theater sound

This receiver incorporates a wide variety of surround modes to bring you maximum enjoyment from your video software. Select a surround mode according to your equipment or the software you are going to play and enjoy!

THX

THX mode activates proprietary THX features that help recreate the cinematic experience in a home environment.

THX Surround EX

During THX Surround EX mode, film soundtracks that have been encoded with Dolby Digital Surround EX technology are able to reproduce an extra channel which has been added during the mixing of the program. This channel is called Surround Back.

THX Surround EX mode activates proprietary THX features that help recreate the cinematic experience in a home environment.

Dolby Digital and Dolby Digital EX

The DOLBY DIGITAL mode lets you enjoy full digital surround from software processed in the Dolby Digital format. Dolby Digital provides up to 5.1 channels of independent digital audio for better sound quality and more powerful presence than conventional Dolby Surround.

As for Dolby Digital EX, it creates six full-bandwidth output channels from the 5.1 channel sources. This is done using a matrix decoder that derives three surround channels from the two in the original recording. For best results, Dolby Digital EX should be used with movie soundtracks recorded with Dolby Digital Surround EX.

Dolby PRO LOGIC II

Dolby PRO LOGIC II, whilst totally compatible with its predecessor PRO LOGIC, provides greater advantages in surround sound. It allows the user to enjoy the conventional stereo or Dolby Surround with a convincing "5.1 like" presentation. PRO LOGIC II offers special features for controlling the overall spatial, dimensionality and frontal sound field imaging. PRO LOGIC II produces an impressive surround sound from video software marked [DOLOBY SURROUND] and three-dimensional space from music CD. When listening to music, you will be able to enjoy the experience of sheer STEREO surround sound.

DTS and DTS-ES

DTS (Digital Theater System) is a 5.1 channel digital audio format that provides five full spectrum channels and one low-frequency (subwoofer) channel for unprecedented clarity, optimum channel separation and a (wide) dynamic range.

DTS-ES (Extended Surround) presents 6.1 channels surround system with additional Surround Back channel which evolved from the conventional 5.1 channels surround system. DTS-ES format that was recorded in DVD, CD or LD comprises of two modes. DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 produce the discrete surround back which is completely independent and DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 produces the surround back which synthesized within the left and right surround channels using matrix technology. DTS-ES has perfect compatibility with the conventional 5.1 channels surround system. 6.1 channels surround with an additional surround back presents a more natural presence and surround effects by increasing the impression of the sound image from back.

Important:

When a DTS disc is played on a CD, LD or DVD player, noise may be output from the analog output. It is recommended that you connect the digital output of the player to the digital input of this unit.

Neo:6

Neo:6 is a new technology which was developed by DTS. It can produce high grade 6 channels surround with an astonishing fidelity from 2 channels content. Neo:6 has 2 mode, "CINEMA" mode is for movie playback and "MUSIC" mode is for music playback.

SRS Circle Surround II

SRS Circle Surround II™ improves on its predecessor CS-5.1™ resulting in the CS-6.1™ system, enabling you to listen to realistic, multi-channel, surround sound playback from a stereo source or conventional surround-encoded video source. You already enjoy listening to Dolby digital/DTS multi-channel sound with your multi-speakers. Now you can listen to audio CDs, MDs, Broadcast and Home Theater using your multi-speakers. You will discover a new type of sound through SRS Circle Surround II.

DSP surround modes

The DSP (Digital Signal Processor) used for this receiver incorporates a variety of high quality adjustable sound fields, like "ARENA", "JAZZ CLUB", "THEATER", "STADIUM" and "DISCO". It is compatible with almost any kind of program source.

DVD 6-channel input

If you own a DVD player equipped with 6-channel output, this receiver allows you to obtain the full surround sound impact of DVD source material featuring multi-channel encoding. Since the source signals are digital and each channel is input independently, the resulting ambience is far superior to what can be achieved with conventional surround sound systems.

ACTIVE EQ

ACTIVE EQ mode will produce a more dynamic sound quality in any condition. You can enjoy a more impressive sound effect when ACTIVE EQ is turned on during Dolby Digital and DTS playback.

SPEAKER EQ

SPEAKER EQ function is to adjust the receiver's audio output characteristics with the speakers' characteristics which differs depending on the size of the speakers. Especially for the music sound source playback, the reproduced sound becomes more natural when adjusting the output characteristics. When activating the SPEAKER EQ function, you will be able to enjoy a more natural and dynamic sound experience even with small size speakers.

Universal IR (InfraRed) remote control

In addition to the basic receiver, the remote control supplied with this receiver can also operate almost all of your remote controllable audio and video components. Just follow the simple setup procedure to register the components you have connected.

RDS (Radio Data System) tuner

Dolby Digital

The Dolby Digital surround format lets you enjoy up to 5.1 channels of digital surround sound from Dolby Digital program sources (such as Laserdisc or DVD software marked DOLSY). Compared with previous Dolby surround, Dolby Digital provides even better sound quality, greater spatial accuracy, and improved dynamic range.

Although a full set of speakers (front left, right, and center, surround left and right, and a subwoofer) is required for true 5.1 channel Dolby Digital surround sound, this receiver lets you enjoy Dolby Digital (and Dolby Surround) program sources, even if you connect only the front speakers.

Dolby Digital EX

Dolby Digital EX is an extension of Dolby Digital technology, Dolby Digital EX creates six full-bandwidth output channels from 6.1-channel sources. This is done using a matrix decoder that derives three surround channels from the two in the original recording. This is achieved by using three different surround signals, Left Surround, Right Surround, and Back Surround, each driving its own array of speakers. Think of it as adding a center channel for the rear speakers, which give more diffuse and natural surround effect, even if you wanted the ability to completely encircle the audience with sound, positioning sound effects exactly where they would be heard in real life. For best results, Dolby Digital EX should be used with movie soundtracks recorded with Dolby Digital Surround EX which contain a digital flag that will automatically activate this feature. However, for titles released prior to late 2001, this feature has to be activated manually.

Although a full set of speakers (front left, right, and center, surround left and right, surround back and a subwoofer) is required for true 6.1 channel Dolby Digital Surround EX sound, this receiver lets you enjoy Dolby Digital (and Dolby Surround) program sources, even if you connect only the front speakers.

Although only Dolby Digital soundtracks incorporate a separate low frequency channel, connecting a subwoofer will also improve deep bass performance in the other surround modes.

The indication "LFE" appears in the display when a signal is being input for this channel.

Dolby PRO LOGIC II

Dolby Pro Logic II was designed specifically to provide a new sense of spatiality, directionality and articulation of sounds from Dolby Surround encoded sources (such as video and Laserdisc software marked DOLBY SURROUND). This is achieved with an intelligent, built-in feedback logic design, a matrix surround decoding and the decoding of stereo, full bandwidth surround outputs. The PRO LOGIC II modes programmed into this receiver are "MOVIE", "MUSIC" and "PRO LOGIC". The "MOVIE" mode of the PRO LOGIC II has preset characteristics to produce a calibrated, high-level surround sound playback while the "MUSIC" mode has user-adjustable characteristics to offer the three optional controls, like "Dimension", "Center Width" and "Panorama" modes to allow optimization of the soundfields as desired. The "Dimension" control allows the user to gradually adjust the soundfield either towards the front or towards the rear; the "Center Width" control allows various adjustment of the left-center-right speakers' balance; the "Panorama" mode extends the front stereo image to include the surround speakers for an exciting "wraparound" effect with side wall imaging.

Note

LFE = Low Frequency Effects. This channel delivers separate non-directional bass signals to the subwoofer for more dynamic deep bass sound effects.

DTS

DTS (Digital Theater System) is a 5.1 channel digital audio format that provides five full spectrum channels and one low-frequency (subwoofer) channel for unprecedented clarity, optimum channel separation and a (wide) dynamic range.

In the DTS mode, the 5.1 channel digital input from a DTS CD, LD or DVD disc (carrying the "DTS" marking) can be played in Digital Surround.

DTS-ES

DTS-ES (Digital Theater System-Extended Surround) presents 6.1 channels surround system with additional Surround Back channel which evolved from the conventional 5.1 channels surround system. DTS-ES format that was recorded in DVD, CD or LD comprises of two modes. DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 produce the discrete surround back which is completely independent and DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 produces the surround back which synthesised within the left and right surround channels using matrix technology. DTS-ES has perfect compatibility with the conventional 5.1 channels surround system. 6.1 channels surround with an additional surround back presents a more natural presence and surround effects by increasing the impression of the sound image from back. Programs which are recorded using DTS-ES technology consist of information flags which will be able to control the Discrete and Matrix mode. Thus, it can automatically select the best matched mode.

Neo:6

Neo:6 is a new technology which was developed by DTS. It can produce high grade 6 channels surround with an astonishing fidelity from 2 channels content. Neo:6 has 2 mode, "CINEMA" mode is for movie playback and "MUSIC" mode is for music playback.

DTS has a .1 or LFE channel.

The indication "LFE" appears in the display when a signal is being input for this channel.

SRS Circle Surround II

SRS Circle Surround II^TM improves on its predecessor CS-5.1™ resulting in the CS-6.1™ system, enabling you to listen to realistic, multi-channel, surround sound playback from a stereo source or conventional surround-encoded video source. You already enjoy listening to Dolby Digital/DTS multi-channel sound with your multispeakers. Now you can listen to audio CDs, MDs, Broadcast and Home Theater using your multi-speakers. You will discover a new type of sound through SRS Circle Surround II.

The CS system dramatically reduces storage space requirements for multi-channel content. It creates a listening environment that places the listener "inside" music performances, and dramatically improves both hi-fi audio and conventional surround-encoded video material. The CS decoder also includes the SRS technologies Focus™ and TruBass™. Focus electronically raises the sound stage from the speaker location to an optimal position. TruBass creates deep, rich bass in small speaker systems without the need for a subwoofer.

THX

Movie soundtracks are mixed in special movie theatres called dubbing stages and are designed to be played back in movie theatres with similar equipment and conditions. This same soundtrack is then transferred directly onto Laserdisc, VHS tape, DVD, etc., and is not changed for playback in a small home theatre environment.

THX engineers developed patented technologies to accurately translate the sound from the movie theatre environment into the home, correcting the tonal and spatial errors that occur. Activate THX whenever watching a movie that was intended for the playback in a Cinema. On this product, when the THX indicator is on, the following THX features are automatically added in movie playback modes (e.g. Dolby Digital+THX, DTS+THX, THX Surround EX, etc):

The tonal balance of a film soundtrack will be excessively bright and harsh when played back over audio equipment in the home because film soundtracks were designed to be played back in large movie theatres using very different professional equipment. Re-Equalization restores the correct tonal balance for watching a movie soundtrack in a small home environment.

Timbre Matching

The human ear changes our perception of a sound depending on the direction from which the sound is coming. In a movie theatre, there is an array of surround speakers so that the surround information is all around you. In a home theatre, you use only two speakers located to the side of your head. The Timbre Matching feature filters the information going to the surround speakers so that they more closely match the tonal characteristics of the sound coming from the front speakers. This ensures seamless panning between the front and surround speakers.

Adaptive Decorrelation

In a movie theatre, a large number of surround speakers help create an enveloping surround sound experience, but in a home theatre there are usually only two speakers. This can make the surround speakers sound like headphones that lack spaciousness and envelopment. The surround sounds will also collapse into the closest speaker as you move away from the middle seating position. Adaptive Decorrelation slightly changes one surround channel's time and phase relationship with respect to the other surround channel. This expands the listening position and creates - with only two speakers - the same spacious surround experience as in a movie theatre.

THX Select

Before any home theatre component can be THX Select certified, it must incorporate all the features above and also pass a rigorous series of quality and performance tests. Only then can a product feature the THX Select logo. Hundreds of parameters in both the digital and analog domain are tested and required to meet very specific high quality standards which is your guarantee that the Home Theatre products you purchase will give you superb performance for many years to come. THX Select requirements cover every aspect of the product including pre-amplifier and power amplifier performance and operation

THX Surround EX mode

THX Surround EX-Dolby Digital Surround EX is a joint development of Dolby Laboratories and the THX division of Lucasfilm Ltd. In a movie theatre, film soundtracks that have been encoded with Dolby Digital Surround EX technology are able to reproduce an extra channel which has been added during the mixing of the program. This channel, called Surround Back, places sounds behind the listener in addition to the currently available front left, front center, front right, surround right, surround left and subwoofer channels. This additional channel provides the opportunity for more detailed imaging behind the listener and brings more depth, spacious ambience and sound localization than ever before.

Movies that were created using the Dolby Digital Surround EX technology, when released into the home consumer market may exhibit a Dolby Digital Surround EX logo on the packaging. A list of movies created using this technology can be found on the Dolby web site at http://www.dolby.com.

Only receiver and controller product bearing the THX Surround EX logo, when in the THX Surround EX mode, faithfully reproduce this new technology in the home.

This product may also engage the "THX Surround EX" mode during the playback of 5.1 channel material that is not Dolby Digital Surround EX encoded. In such case the information delivered to the Surround Back channel will be program dependent and may or may not be very pleasing depending on the particular soundtrack and the taste of the individual listener.

DSP mode

The DSP mode lets you add the atmosphere of a live concert or hall to almost any type of program source. These modes are particularly effective when used with stereo program sources, like CD, television, and FM radio. You might enjoy trying the ARENA, JAZZ CLUB, THEATER, STADIUM or DISCO mode the next time you watch a concert or sporting event!

What's DSP?

DSP stands for Digital Signal Processor.

The way a sound is heard in an actual environment depends on a variety of different factors. One of the most important is reverberation (the act of decaying elements of sound echoing in various places). The DSP modes produce the feeling of presence by using the DSP to create reverberation, without spoiling the sound quality of the original signal.

DVD 6-channel mode

Using a DVD player or the like equipped with six (5.1) output channels and the receiver, you can enjoy multi-channel encoded DVD source material in all its splendor. Since the source signals are digital and each channel is input independently, the resulting sound quality, sense of spaciousness, and dynamic range are superb.

The indication "LFE" appears in the display during DVD 6-channel mode selection.

Surround play

The DTS compatible models can reproduce a CD, DVD, or LD carrying the DTS mark.

DOLBY DIGITAL can be used when playing DVD or LD software bearing the DOLBY mark and DOLBY DIGITAL format digital broadcasts (etc.). DOLBY PRO LOGIC can be used when playing video, DVD, or LD software bearing the DOLBY SURROUND mark.

SRS Circle Surround II enables you to listen to multi channel sound from the stereo source.

Preparations

• Turn ON related components.
• Complete "Preparing for surround sound" (speaker settings). -21
• Use the Input Selector keys to select the component you wish to play back with surround sound.
• Use the INPUT MODE key to select the input mode (analog or digital) for the source you wish to play back.
• Noise will be produced when a DTS source is played by selecting the analog input.

Start playing the video software.

Use the LISTEN MODE knob or Listen Mode / keys to select the listening mode.

The listening mode settings are stored separately for each input. If the input mode is set to full auto ("AUTO DETECT" lights), the receiver selects the optimal listening mode automatically based on the type of input signal and the speaker settings.

Each turn of the LISTEN MODE knob or press of the Listen Mode / keys switches the setting as listed below.

The listening mode settings are different depending on the type of input signal.

Notes

• Depending on the type of the signal or speaker setting, some listening modes cannot be selected.
• When playback is started, the sound may be cut or interrupted before the input source is confirmed as Dolby Digital.
• To enjoy Dolby Digital surround (as well as all the other listening modes) from a single component, be sure to use a Dolby Digital compatible source component.
• Dialogue Normalization (Dial Norm) is a feature of Dolby Digital. It is able to automatically maintain the overall audio output level constant.

When playing some Dolby Digital sources, you may see in the display a message "DIALNORM OFFSET xxdB". This is because some soundtracks may be recorded either louder or quieter than normal. The xx number shows by how much.

For example, if the message says "DIALNORM OFFSET +4dB" you know that this particular recording was encoded 4dB louder than normal. If you wish, you can turn down the volume control by 4dB to keep the playback level consistent.

DOLBY PRO LOGIC II, except that the most important component of this work is the use of a special set of predecesor PRO LOGIC, proportional to the fact that the sound is not always heard by the sound source. This is because the sound is not always heard by the sound source, and therefore it is not possible to distinguish between the two types of predecesor. The purpose of this work is to demonstrate how the sound source can be used to distinguish between the two types of predecesor.
