    ENGLIS 16 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Optimum surround sound for different sources There are currently various types of multi-channel signals (signals or formats with more than two channels). Types of multi-channel signals Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic, DTS, high definition 3-1 signals (Japan MUSE Hi-Vision audio), DVD-Audio, SACD (Super Audio CD), MPEG multi- channel audio, etc.
  • Page 58 With this set, speaker(s) for 1 or 2 channels are required to achieve a 6.1-channel system (DTS-ES, etc.). Adding these speakers, however, increases the surround effect not only with sources recorded in 6.1 channels but also with conventional 2- to 5.1-channel sources. All the Denon original surround modes (see page 47) are compatible with 7.1-channel playback, so you can enjoy 6.1-channel sound with any signal source.

  • Page 71 (80 Hz and down) at any volume level. • Should there be a subwoofer in the system, Denon recommends that no matter what the physical size of the loudspeakers are, select ‘Small’ for the Fronts, Center, and Surrounds.
  • Page 72 DELAY TIME This menu allows you to easily configure the delay times for all the speakers, including the subwoofer, in the system. We suggest you use a tape measure to help you be as accurate as possible. This is a performance advantage over other receivers that allow only center channel (front and/or rear) delay time adjustment.
  • Page 73 Use the “Up/Down” arrows to raise/lower the level from each channel, and use the “Left/Right” arrows to select the channel to adjust. Take your time! • We recommend that once you have completed adjusting the levels, to write down and secure, the levels for every channel. This will help you to reset the system quickly to reference if someone changes the levels, which you know will happen.
