CIRCLE SURROUND II
(CSII-CINEMA, CSII-MUSIC, CSII-MONO)
Circle Surround is designed to enable multichannel
surround sound playback of non-encoded and
multichannel encoded material.
Backward compatibility provides listeners with
up to 6.1 channels of surround performance from
an entire collection of music and fi lm, including
broadcast, videotape and stereo recorded music.
Depending on source material, you can select CSII-
Cinema mode, CSII-Music mode or CSII-Mono mode.
Note
• The CS II mode is available for 2 channel input
signals which are encoded in Dolby Digital,
HDCD or PCM format.
STEREO
This mode bypasses all surround processing.
In stereo program sources, the left and right
channels play normally when PCM audio or analog
stereo is input.
With Dolby Digital and DTS sources, the 5.1
channels are converted to two channel stereo. 96
kHz PCM source material can be played back in
stereo mode.
Dolby Virtual Speaker
Dolby Virtual Speaker technology uses proprietary
technology of Dolby Laboratories to create a virtual
surround sound fi eld using only two speakers for the
front channels, allowing the user to experience sound
as if surround speakers were actually being used.
MULTI CH. (MOVIE, MUSIC)
This mode is used to create a wider, deeper and
more natural soundstage from two channel source
material.
This is done by feeding the left channel signal to
both the left front and left surround speakers and the
right channel signal to both the right front and right
surround speakers. Additionally, the center channel
reproduces a mix of the right and left channels.
Note
• Audio is not output from the CENTER channel
when using MULTI CH. MUSIC mode.
Neural Surround
N e u r a l S u r r o u n d T M r e p r e s e n t s t h e l a t e s t
advancement in surround technology developed
for music.
Neural Surround
TM employs psychoacoustic
frequency domain processing which allows delivery
of a more detailed sound stage with superior channel
separation and localization of audio elements.
System playback is scalable from 5.1 to 7.1 multi-
channel surround playback.
CAUTION
Note for DTS
• To connected DVD player, laserdisc player or CD
player needs to support DTS digital output. You
may not be able to play some DTS source signals
from certain CD players and LD players even if
you connect the player to the unit digitally. This
is because the digital signal has been processed
(such as the output level, sampling frequency
or frequency response), and the unit cannot
recognize the signal as DTS data.
• Depending on the player used, DTS play may
produce a short noise. This is not a malfunction.
• While signals from a DTS laserdisc or CD are
playing in another surround mode, you cannot
switch to digital input or from digital input to
analog input from the INPUT SETUP in the MAIN
MENU or by pressing the A/D button.
• You can not listen to DTS-encoded software in a
multiroom.
• The outputs for VCR OUT, TAPE OUT and CD/CD-
R OUT output analog audio signals only. Do not
record from CDs or LDs that support DTS using
these outputs. If you do, the DTS-encoded signal
will be recorded as noise.
Note or Dolby Digital Surround EX
• When playing Dolby Digital Surround EX-encoded
software in 6.1 channels, it is required to set the
EX/ES mode.
• Note that some Dolby Digital Surround EX-
encoded software does not contain the
identifi cation signal. In this case, set the EX/ES
mode manually.
Note for 96 kHz/192 kHz PCM audio
• The AUTO, Pure Direct, and Stereo modes can be
used when playing PCM signals with a sampling
frequency of 96/192 kHz (such as from DVD-
Video/Audio discs).
• Certain DVD player models inhibit digital output.
For details, refer to the player’s operation
manual.
• Some DVD discs feature copy protection. When
using such disc, 96 kHz PCM signal are not output
from the DVD player. For details, refer to the
player’s operation manual.
Note for HDCD
• HDCD is effective only through digital input.
• You may not be able to play some HDCD source
signals from certain CD players if you connect
the player to the unit digitally. This is because the
digital signal has been processed (such as the
output level, sampling frequency or frequency
response) and the unit cannot recognize the
signal as HDCD data.
DESCRIPTION
