Adjusting The Audio Delay; Denon Original Surround Modes; Surround Modes And Their Features - Denon AVR-2106 Operating Instructions Manual

Basic Operation

Adjusting the audio delay

• When watching a DVD or other video source, the picture on the
monitor may seem delayed with respect to the sound. In this
case, adjust the audio delay to delay the sound and synchronize
it with the picture.
• The audio delay setting is stored separately for each input
source.
• This adjustment can be performed with the system setup
( page 45) or from the remote control unit, as described
below.
1
Select the input source.
Example: DVD
(Main unit) (Remote control unit)
2
INPUT MODE
Press the button to set the input
mode to "AUTO".
3
Select Dolby/DTS Surround.
(Main unit) (Remote control unit)
4
Play a program source (DVD, etc.).
5
CURSOR D D
Press the button.
• Switch to the Audio Delay adjustment screen.
6
CURSOR F F G G
Press the or
delay time (0 ms ~ 200 ms).
With a movie source, for example, adjust so that the
movement of the actors' lips is synchronized with the
sound.
7
ENTER
Press the button to complete the setting.
• The audio delay setting does not apply when playing in the EXT. IN mode or in the analog input direct, pure direct or stereo mode
(TONE DEFEAT "ON").

DENON original surround modes

This unit is equipped with a high performance DSP (Digital Signal Processor) which uses digital signal processing to synthetically
recreate the sound field. One of 7 preset surround modes can be selected according to the program source and the parameters can
be adjusted according to the conditions in the listening room to achieve a more realistic, powerful sound.

Depending on the program source being played, the effect may not be very noticeable.
In this case, try other surround modes, without worrying about their names, to create a sound field suited to your tastes.
NOTE: When playing sources recorded in monaural, the sound will be one-sided if signals are only input to one channel (left or right),
so input signals to both channels. If you have a source component with only one audio output (monophonic camcorder, etc.)
obtain a "Y" adapter cable to split the mono output to two outputs, and connect to the L and R inputs.

2 Personal memory plus
This set is equipped with a personal memorize function that automatically memorizes the surround modes and input modes selected
for the different sources. When the input source is switched, the modes set for that source last time it was used are automatically
recalled.
The surround parameters, tone control settings and playback level balance for the different output channels are memorized for
each surround mode.
The front left channel signals are output to the surround and surround back left channels, the front right
channel signals are output to the surround and surround back right channels, and the in-phase component
of the left and right channels is output to the center channel. Use this mode to enjoy stereo sound.
Select this when watching monaural movies for a greater sense of expansion.
Use this mode to achieve the feeling of a live concert in an arena with reflected sounds coming from all
directions.
This mode creates the sound field of a live house with a low ceiling and hard walls. This mode gives jazz
a very vivid realism.
Use this to enjoy video game sources.
Select this to emphasize the sense of expansion for music sources recorded in stereo. Signals consisting
of the component difference of the input signals (the component that provides the sense of expansion)
processed for delay are output from the surround channel.
Select this mode to enjoy a virtual sound field, produced from the front 2-channel speakers or headphones.
