DTS mode
The DTS multi-channel audio format is available on CD, LD and DVD
softw are. DTS is a strictly digital format and cannot be decoded inside
most CD, LD or DVD players. For this reason, if you attempt to listen
to DTS encoded softw are through the analog output of your new CD,
LD or DVD player, you w ill experience digital noise in most cases. This
noise can be quite loud if the analog output is connected directly to a
high pow er amplification system. Proper measures for playing the
digital output as described below should be taken to avoid this
situation. To enjoy DTS Digital Surround playback, an external 5.1
channel DTS Digital Surround decoder system or an amplifier w ith a
built-in DTS Digital Surround decoder must be connected to the digital
output (S/P DIF, AES/EBU or TosLink) of a CD, LD or DVD player.
All models are incorporated w ith the DTS decoder.
DTS has a .1 or LFE channel.
The indication " LFE " appears in the display w hen a signal is being
input for this channel.
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
w hen used w ith 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 w atch a concert or sporting event!
W hat's DSP?
DSP stands for Digital Signal Processor.
The w ay 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, w ithout spoiling the sound quality of the original
signal.

DVD 6-channel mode
Using a DVD player or the like equipped w ith 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.
