Enjoying Home Theater features
Digital signals this unit can play
Dolby Digital (including
Dolby Digital Surround
EX) These digital surround systems were developed by Dolby Laboratories. Dolby
Digital Surround EX, with its additional surround back channels, produces an
increased sense of realism.
DVD etc.
DTS (including DTS-ES
and DTS 96/24) These digital surround systems were developed by DTS (Digital Theater
Systems, Inc.). DTS-ES, with its additional surround back channel, immerses
you in sound. DTS 96/24 delivers multi-channel sound with superior fidelity (96
kHz/24 bit).
DVD etc.
PCM You can input PCM signals with sampling frequencies up to 192 kHz with the
DIGITAL IN COAXIAL 1 terminal. The other digital terminals allow input of up to
96 kHz. The display shows the sampling frequency when you input 88.2-kHz,
96-kHz, 176.4-kHz, or 192-kHz signals.
CD, DVD-
Audio etc.
This unit cannot process Dolby Digital RF or MPEG audio signal.
Note
Dolby Pro Logic ΙΙx, NEO:6, and SFC add surround effects by “adding” channels, so if they are off, the unit plays the number of channels recorded in
the original source.
For example, if it is a 5.1-channel source, there will be no output from the surround back speakers.
The SURROUND mode turns off when input is 192-kHz PCM.
Whenever you switch to a different source, the following display appears to show you the number of channels. (It may not appear with some
sources.)
