Notes on using the Digital Signal Processor
The digital signal processor (DSP) in this unit can decode Dolby
Digital and DTS digital signals. It automatically determines the type
of signal, PCM, Dolby Digital, or DTS, and processes it accordingly.
¡ This unit cannot process other digital signal formats, such as
PCM signals with sampling frequencies of 96 kHz and 192 kHz
and MPEG.
¡ This unit cannot decode Dolby Digital RF (radio frequency)
signals from a laser disc player.
Use this mode to play digital or analog stereo sources or to play
surround sources through two speakers. When surround sources
are played in this mode, the sounds intended for the other
speaker channels are played through the front speakers.
Select this mode when you are playing a digital surround source
(Dolby Digital or DTS).
Also select this mode when playing analog or digital stereo
sources. The Dolby Pro Logic
2 processor works
not only on sources recorded with Dolby
Surround, but also on any stereo source. The
following modes are available when using Dolby
Pro Logic
2 .
Enjoy an enhanced sound experience with greater presence and
spread by using these SFC (sound field control) modes with PCM
or analog stereo sources.
The SFC modes cannot be used if the input signal is Dolby
Digital or DTS.
