DolbvDiqitalEl(
Dolby Digital EX (DOLBY D EX) is a digital surround encoding
format that adds the third surround channels, called "surround back."
Compared to the corrventional Dolby Digital 5.1CH, these newly
added surround back channels carl reproduce more detailed
movements behind you while viewing file video software. In
addition, surround sound localization will become more stable.
• You can use Virtual 6. l-channel surround when playing back Dolby
Digital EX software without connecting the surround back speakers.
This reproduces the back sound field as if the surround back speakers
exist, so that you can still feel the great surround effect from behind.
The VIRTUAL SB (Surround Back) irrdicator lights up on the display.
DolbvDiqital5.1CH
Dolby Digital 5. l CH (DOLBY D) encoding method records and
digitally compresses the left front channel, right front channel,
center channel, left surround channel, right surround channel, arrd
LFE channel signals.
Dolby Digital enables stereo surround sounds, and sets the cutoff
frequency of the surround treble at 20 kHz, compared to 7 kHz lbr
Dolby Pro Logic. As such, the sound movement and "being-there"
feeling are enhanced much more than Dolby Pro Logic.
DTS .2
DTS is arrother digital signal compression method, developed by
Digital Theater Systems, Inc., arrd enables multi-channel encoding
arrd decoding (lch up to 6.1ch).
• When DTS signal is detected through the digital irrput, flae
irrdicator lights up on the display.
DTS Entended Surround (DTS-ES)
DTS-ES is arrother multi-channel digital encoding lbrmat.
It greatly improves the 360-degree surround impression and space
expression by adding the third surround channel--surround back
channel.
DTS-ES irrcludes two signal lbrmats with different surround signal
recording methods_TS-ES Discrete 6.1eh (ES DSCRT) arrd
DTS-ES Matrix 6.1eh (ES MATRIX).
DTS-ES Discrete 6.1eh has been designed to encode (and decode)
a 6. l-channel signal discretely to avoid irrterfcrence with each
channel.
DTS-ES Matrix 6.1eh has been designed to add an extra surround
channel to DTS Digital Surround 5.1 channel. By using a matrix
encoding/decoding method, an additional "surround back" channel
signal is encoded (and decoded) in both the left arrd right surround
channel signals.
• You can use Virtual 6. l-channel surround when playing back
DTS-ES software without connecting the surround back speakers.
This reproduces the back sound field as if the surround back
speakers exist, so that you can still feel the great surround effect
from behind.
The VIRTUAL SB (Surround Back) irrdicator lights up on the display.
DTS96124
In recent years, there has been increasing irrterest in higher sampling
rates both for recording and for reproducing at home. Higher
sampling rates allow wider frequency range arrd greater bit depths
provide extended dynamic range.
DTS 96/24 is a digital signal format (fs 96 kHz/24 bits) irrtroduced
by Digital Theater Systems, Inc. to deliver "better-than-CD sound
quality" irrto tire home.
• When DTS 96/24 signal is detected, the [ _ ] arrd 96/24
irrdicators light up on the display. You can enjoy its sound with
full-quality.
DTSNeo:6
DTS Neo:6 is arrother conversion method to create 6 channel (plus
subwoofer) from arralog/digital 2-channel software by using the high
precision digital matrix decoder used for DTS-ES Matrix 6. Ich.
When one of Neo:6 modes is activated, the NEO:6 irrdicator lights
up on the display.
• This receiver provides the ti)llowing DTS NEO:6 modes_eo:6
Cinema (NEO:6CINMA) and Neo:6 Music (NEO:6MUSIC).
When DTS NEO:6 is activated, the NEO:6 irrdicator lights up on
the display.
NEO:6CINMA
NEO:6MUSIC
Suitable for playing movies. You can get tire
same atmosphere with 2-channel software as
with 6. l-channel software. It is also effective for
playing software encoded with conventional
surround fonnats.
Suitable for playing nmsic software. The front
channel signals bypass the decoder (resulting in
no loss of sound quality) arrd the surround
signals transmitted through the other speakers
expand file sound field naturally.
DTSDigitalSurround
DTS Digital Surround (DTS) is another discrete 5.1-channel digital
arrdio format available on CD, LD, arrd DVD software.
Compared to Dolby Digital, the DTS Digital Surround lbrmat has a
lower audio compression rate which enables it to add breadth arrd
depth to the sounds reproduced. As such, DTS Digital Surround
features natural, solid, arrd clear sound.
• When EX/ES/PLIIx setting is set to "ON," DTS plus Neo:6 (DTS
+ NEO:6) is applied while playing back multi-channel DTS
software. It creates file same surround ambience as 6. l-channel
software does.
What is Dual Mono?
Dual Mono can be easily understood when you think of the
bilingual broadcast or the MTS (Multichannel Television Sound)
format used for TV programs (however, the Dual Mono format is
not identical with those analog lbrmats).
This format is now adopted in Dolby Digital, DTS, and so on. It
allows two irrdependent channels (called main channel arrd sub-
channel) to be recorded separately.
• When Dual Mono signal is detected, the DUAL irrdicator lights
up on the display. You can select either channel you want to
listen to (see page 36).
When using the Surround mode, the sounds come out of the
activated speakers which the Surround nmde requires.
• If either the surround speakers or center speaker is set to
"NONE" in the speaker setting, tire corresponding channel
signals are allocated to arrd emitted through the front speakers.
• If both the surround speakers and center speaker are set to
"NONE" in the speaker setting, JVC's original 3D-PHONIC
processing (which
has been developed to create the surround
effect through the front speakers only) is used. The 3D-PHONIC
irrdicator lights up on the display.
