Notes:
• The DSP modes have no effect on monaural sources.
• When you select “DVD MULTI” as the source to play, you cannot
select or adjust the DSP modes.
• The Ÿ PRO LOGIC indicator lights up when the Dolby Pro Logic
decoder built in this receiver is activated.
DVD MULTI Playback Mode
This receiver provides the DVD MULTI playback mode for
reproducing the analog discrete 5.1 channel output mode of the
DVD player or other equipment.
You can adjust the DVD MULTI playback mode while playing
back a video software such as a DVD using the analog discrete
5.1 channel output mode.
• For the DVD MULTI playback mode connection, see page 7.
• For details on the DVD MULTI playback mode, see page 33.
Surround modes
With this receiver, you can use four types of the Surround mode.
Following modes cannot be used when only the front speakers
are connected to this receiver (without the rear speakers or
center speaker).
Dolby Surround (Dolby Digital and Dolby Pro Logic) *
Used to watch the soundtracks of software encoded with Dolby
Digital (bearing the mark
D I G I T A L
) or with Dolby Surround
(bearing the mark DOLBY SURROUND ).
Dolby Surround encoding format records the left front channel, right
front channel, center channel, and rear channel (total 4 channels)
signals into 2 channels. The Dolby Pro Logic decoder built in this
receiver decode these 2 channel signals into original 4 channel
signals — matrix-based multichannel reproduction, and allows you
to enjoy the realistic stereo sounds in your listening room.
On the other hand, Dolby Digital encoding method (so called a
discrete 5.1 channel digital audio format) records and compresses
the left front channel, right front channel, center channel, left rear
channel, right rear channel, and LFE channel (total 6 channels, but
LFE channel is counted as 0.1 channel, therefore called 5.1
channels) signals digitally. Each channel is completely independent
from other channel signals to avoid interference, therefore, you can
obtain much better sound quality with much stereo and surround
effects.
The Dolby Digital decoder built in this receiver can create much
more realistic sound field in your listening room. You may feel as if
you were in a real theater.
In addition, Dolby Digital enables stereo rear sounds, and sets the
cutoff frequency of the rear treble at 20 kHz, comparing to 7 kHz for
Dolby Pro Logic. These facts enhance the sound movement and
being-there feelings much more than Dolby Pro Logic.
• To enjoy the software encoded with Dolby Digital, you must
connect the source component using the digital terminal on the
rear of this receiver. (See page 8.)
DTS Digital Surround **
DTS Digital Surround is another discrete 5.1 channel digital audio
format available on CD, LD, and DVD software.
Comparing to Dolby Digital, audio compression rate is relatively
low. This fact allows DTS Digital Surround format to have more
data recorded than Dolby Digital even using the same media, and to
add breadth and depth to the reproduced sounds. As a result, DTS
Digital Surround features natural, solid and clear sound.
• To enjoy the software encoded with DTS Digital Surround, you
must connect the source component using the digital terminal on
the rear of this receiver. (See page 8.)
MPEG Multichannel
MPEG Multichannel is another discrete 5.1 channel digital audio
format available on DVD software, and uses encoding method called
MPEG2-Audio. (MPEG stands for “Motion Picture Expert Group”
and has been originally developed for compressing video signals.)
To watch the soundtracks of video software bearing the mark
, the receiver can provide you with MPEG
Multichannel decoder.
MPEG Multichannel is automatically selected according to software
played back and the speaker arrangement you have done.
• To enjoy the software encoded with MPEG Multichannel, you
must connect the source component using the digital terminal on
the rear of this receiver. (See page 8.)
JVC Theater Surround
In order to reproduce a more realistic sound field in your listening
room while playing soundtracks of software encoded with Dolby
Surround (bearing the mark
DOLBY SURROUND
) you can use JVC
Theater Surround.
