FOR ULTIMATE CONTROL–THE LAST REMOTE
YOU'LL EVER NEED
That's a bold statement, but when you can
back it up with a technological marvel like
this remote control, we're confident you'll
agree. From the moment you lay eyes on
the remote, you'll realize it's something to
behold. And when you hold it, you'll know
it's much more than ordinary. Graced with
an aluminium front panel and a design
perfectly matched to the contours of your
hand, you'll find it hard to put down. And
when it's in your hand, control is truly
yours. The main buttons are logically
located in the centre–something that
more than a few companies have yet to
realize is important for one finger control.
And when you press those buttons you'll
notice the advantages over soft, "gummy"
ones. Smart? Well let's just say this remote
has gone to the head of the class with
codes from most manufacturers already
pre-programmed, and in the unlikely event
you need one not included, there's learn-
ing capability added so you can do away
with "remote clutter" and use this to control all your compatible
components. Not enough? Well we're not stopping there. An
LCD screen and scroll wheel let you find the component you
wish to control–a DVD player, receiver, video recorder, what-
ever–with just a spin. And when you want direct access to your
TV, buttons at the top let you control the channel and volume
without hunting around. With Macros, you can customize the
remote to your individual needs by programming a series of
operations into a single button. We also took into considera-
tion the importance of entertaining in the dark and not wanting
to waste time searching for a button. Backlit with a soft lumi-
nescence, low-light operation has never been easier. So now,
sit back, pick up your remote and with the push of one button,
it can be lights, camera, action–just remember to put it back
down occasionally!
DOLBY DIGITAL EX & PRO LOGIC IIx
Dolby Digital EX creates six full-bandwidth output channels
from 5.1-channel sources. This is done using a matrix de-
coder 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 IIx processes any

native stereo or 5.1-channel signal into a 6.1- or 7.1-channel
output to create a seamless, natural soundfield. You can
choose from Movie or Music Modes depending on your
source material. There's even a Game Mode that delivers
full-impact special effects panned to the surrounds.

DOLBY HEADPHONE

This technology lets you enjoy multichannel sound sources,
with thrilling, realistic surround sound over any conven-
tional stereo headset. Dolby Headphone can be applied
into virtually any type of product–audio, video, PC or video
game which features the Dolby Headphone symbol. Now
you can enjoy real surround sound from your headphones
without bothering anyone around you.

DOLBY VIRTUAL SPEAKER

With Dolby Virtual Speaker technology, as few as two
speakers, placed in front of you in a typical stereo setup,
can actually sound like the speakers in a full surround
sound home cinema system. This next-generation process
reproduces the complex sonic cues necessary to locate
where sounds are coming from. It literally convinces your
ears that you are surrounded by sonic activity.
DTS & DTS-ES
DTS, like Dolby Digital, is a discrete 5.1-channel system,
but one which uses less compression than Dolby Digital.
There are two DTS-ES (Extended Surround) formats:
DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 and DTS-ES Matrix 6.1. The DTS-ES
Discrete 6.1 format is, as the name implies, a 6.1-channel
system with a discrete back surround channel, while DTS-
ES Matrix 6.1, like Dolby Digital Surround EX, provides a
matrix-encoded back surround channel.
DTS NEO:6
For listeners accustomed to multi-channel surround sound,
the amount of stereo encoded sound tracks on the market
can be disappointing. DTS NEO:6 offers several improve-
ments. Stereo matrix to 6.1 or 5.1: NEO:6 provides up to
six full-bandwidth channels of matrix decoding from stereo
matrix material. Extended surround: NEO:6 provides opti-
mum decoding of Extended Surround matrix soundtracks,
and can also generate a centre surround channel from
