Mini Glossary for Audio Stream & Surround mode

dts

Allows you to enjoy 5.1(or 6) discrete channels of high quality digital audio from DTS program sources such as discs, DVD and compact discs, etc.bearing the trademark. DTS Digital Surround delivers up to 6 channels of deemed audibly in distinguishable from the master (which means identical to the original masters) and results in exceptional clarity throughout a true 360 degree sound field. "Manufactured under license from Digital Theater Systems, Inc. US Pat. No'. 5,451,942; 5,956,674; 5,974,380; 5,978,762;6 and world-wide patents issued and pending. "DTS" and "DTS Digital Surround" are registered trademarks of Digital Theater Systems, Inc. Copyright 1996, 2003 Digital Theater Systems, Inc. All rights Reserved."

DIGITAL

The Dolby Digital surround format lets you enjoy up to 5.1 channels of digital surround sound from a Dolby Digital program source. If you play DVDs with "####" mark, you can enjoy even better sound quality, greater spatial accuracy, and improved dynamic range. Manufactured under license from Dolby Laboratories. "Dolby", "Pro Logic" and double-D symbol are trademarks of Dolby Laboratories. Confidential Unpublished works. Copyright 1992-1997 Dolby Laboratories. All rights reserved.

PRO LOGIC

Use this mode when playing movie or Dolby Digital 2 channel which carries the "DOLBY" mark. This mode provides the effect of being in a movie theatre or live concert house—an effect with an intensity which can only be obtained through DOLBY PRO LOGIC SURROUND. The effect of the front/back/left/right movement of the sound image, as well as the sense of fixed position in the sound image, is much clearer and more dynamic than before.

PROLOGIC II

Dolby Pro Logic II creates five full-bandwidth output channels from two-channel sources. This is done using an advanced, high-purity matrix surround decoder that extracts the spatial properties of the original recording without adding any new sounds or tonal colorations.

MOVIE mode:

The Movie mode is for use with stereo television shows and all programs encoded in Dolby Surround. The result is enhanced soundfield directionality that approaches the quality of discrete 5.1-channel sound.

MUSIC mode:

The Music mode is for use with any stereo music recordings.

MATRIX mode:

The Matrix mode is the same as the Music mode except that the directional enhancement logic is turned off. It may be used to enhance mono signals by making them seem "larger." The Matrix mode may also find use in auto systems, where the fluctuations from poor FM stereo reception can otherwise cause disturbing surround signals from a logic decoder. The ultimate "cure" for poor FM stereo reception may be simply to force the audio to mono.

BYPASS

Outputs the sound from the front left and right speakers and subwoofer.

Sound Mode DVD VCD CD

You can enjoy surround sound simply by selecting one of the pre-programmed sound fields according to the program you want to listen to.

When DVD is inserted

You can change the Digital Audio Output mode by pressing the AUDIO button on the remote control during playback. Although the DVD contents differ from disc to disc, the following explains the basic operation when this feature is used.

a) After you select 2 channel (For example 📄 or 📋) by pressing AUDIO button, press SOUND button repeatedly.

RDS Tuning : OPTIONAL

When a FM station containing RDS data is tuned in, the unit will automatically display the station's call sign and the RDS indicator will light in the Display Window as well as indicators for the programme type recognition (PTY), Radio Text (RT), Clock Time (CT) and RDS services programme (PS) if transmitted by the station.

RDS Display Options : OPTIONAL

The RDS system is capable of transmitting a wide variety of information in addition to the initial call sign that appears when a station is first tuned.
