Surround
mode
P'_
(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 transparent
audio(which
means identical to the original masters) and results in excep-
tional clarity throughout
a true 360 degree sound field. The
term DTS is a trademark of DTS Technology, LLC.
Manufactured
under license from DTS Technology, LLC.
NNDIGIT_,L
(Dolby
Digital)
The Dotby Digital surround format lets you enjoy up to 5.1
channels of digital surround sound from a Dotby Digital pro-
gram source. If you play DVDs with " PP_
" mark, you can
enjoy even better sound quality, greater spatial accuracy, and
improved dynamic range.
DDPROLOGIC
(Dolby
Pro Logic)
Use this mode when playing movie or Dolby Digital 2 channel
which carries the ' _
"mark.
This mode provides the effect
of being in a movie theater 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 welI as the sense of fixed
position in the sound image, is much clearer and more dynam-
ic than before.
FSDPR0LOGIC [][
(Dolby
Pro Logic
H)
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 originat recording without adding any new
sounds or tonat 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, and
provides a wide and deep sound space. The Music mode
includes controls that allow the sound to be tailored to individual
listening tastes.
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.
3D SURROUND
This unit can produce a 3D Surround effect, using 3D Surround
Sound technology, which simulates
multi-channel
audio pIay-
back from two conventional
stereo speakers instead of the five
or more speakers normally required to listen to multi-channel
audio from a home theater. This feature works with DVD discs
encoded with Dolby Pro Logic and Dotby Digital audio tracks.
BYPASS
Software with multichannel surround audio signals is played
according to the way it was recorded.
Sound Mode
You can enjoy surround sound simply by selecting one
of the pre-programmed
sound fields according to the
program you want to listen to.
Press SOUND MODE repeatedly until the sound mode
you want appears in the display window as below.
Each time you press SOUND MODE button,
the sound
mode is changed in the following order;
BYPASS --> PRO LOGIC --> MOVIE -->MUSIC --> MATRIX -->
3D SURR
When DVD is inserted.
