BefoSryesatepmplcyionngnpeocwtioenr 4 Special features True home theater sound DTS DTS (Digital Theater Systems) is a 5.1 channel digital audio format that provides five full-spectrum channels and one low-frequency (subwoofer) channel for unprecedented clarity, optimum channel separation and a (wide) dynamic range. In the DTS mode, the 5.1 channel digital input from a DTS CD, LD or DVD disc (carrying the DTS marking) can be played in Digital Surround. Important: When a DTS disc is played on a CD, LD or DVD player, noise may be output from the analog output. It is recommended that you connect the digital output of the player to the digital input of this unit. Dolby Digital (AC-3) The DOLBY DIGITAL (AC-3) mode lets you enjoy full digital surround from software processed in the Dolby Digital (AC-3) format. Dolby Digital (AC-3) provides up to 5.1 channels of independent digital audio for better sound quality and more powerful presence than conventional Dolby Surround. Dolby Pro Logic & Dolby 3 Stereo This surround system reproduces theater-like surround sound from video software marked . The PRO LOGIC mode uses the built-in adaptive matrix circuit to steer the Left, Center, Right and Surround channel audio signals. The 3 STEREO mode will redirect the surround signal to the front left and right speakers when only the front and center speakers are used. DSP surround modes The DSP (Digital Signal Processor) used for this AV CONTROL CENTER incorporates a variety of high quality adjustable sound fields, like "ARENA", "THEATER", "JAZZ CLUB" to add the "presence" associated with an arena, theater, jazz club to the original signal. The DSP can process either PCM or analog sources. Multi channel music (SRS Circle Surround) SRS Circle surround enables you to listen to multi channel sound from the stereo source. We assume you have already enjoyed listening to Dolby digital sound / DTS multi channel sound with your multi speakers. Now, this time try listening to the stereo source (ex. Audio CD) using your multi speakers. You may discover a new type of "stereo" sound through SRS Circle Surround.
