Explanation Surround system Many motion pictures produced in the last decade have been released in "Dolby Stereo" sound, with music, dialogue, and panned effects coming from the 3-channel front soundstage, and surround effects and ambience emanating from the sides and rear of the theater. These four channels are encoded, or inatrixed, into a two-channel DOLBY STEREO release, and decoded in the theater by a professional DOLBY STEREO MP (Motion Picture) decoder. These surround sound effects are "hidden" in the two-channel stereo movie release, and decoded in the theater by special Dolby equipment. These same two-channel motion picture masters arc used for production of stereo VHS. VHS-Hi-Fi, Beta Hi-Fi, and stereo Laser Vision discs that you can buy or rent at your video store. This unit incorporates the Digital Dolby Pro Logic Surround Circuit, which is designed to emulate the audience experience found in DOLBY STEREO theaters. Like Dolby Surround, Dolby Pro Logic Surround is capable of creating a multidimensional soundstage, but with the increased channel separation it gives a far greater sense of "movement" and sound localization. Just like in the theater, the addition of the active Center channel ensures that all audience members hear dialogue coming from its on-screen sources regardless of seating position. Since this unit is equipped with Front amplifiers, Center amplifier and Rear (Surround) amplifiers, Dolby Pro Logic Surround, Theater, Hall, Live and Arena effects can all be produced. You can enjoy the feeling of a movie theater or concert hall in your own room. To reproduce these effects, Rear (Surround) speakers and Center speaker are necessary. The placement of these speakers is important. You can experiment with various positions and locations to find the best placement for optimum sound quality in your room. DSP (Digital Signal Processor) The DSP converts the musical signal into cligital form and ruoduces reflected sound from tfv- rlioital signal This is .pplim to tlyto yield an effect approaching that of a live performance.

U.S.A., Canadian and Mexican models The following concerns Xantech Corporation's Multi Room system. The gray terminal on the TX-SV525 is the ITRK terminal. Used with your TX-SV525 the XANTECH 480B-00 (DINKY LINK) or 780-ID (J-BOX RECEIVER) and 789-40 (CONNECTING BLOCK), and 781C-00 (ACI20V POWER SUPPLY) or 782-00 (HI CURRENT POWER SUPPLY) allows you to control speakers even when you are not in the same room as the TX-SV525. In addition to basic functions like speaker on-off and volume and so on, you can also control most ONKYO CD players and cassette decks that use the R I system. Adding an 282-00 (MINI EMITTER) allows you to control even the non-ONKYO components in your home entertainment system from a separate room. When the 282-00 is being used to control more than one device from a distance but the infrared beams from the 282-00 remote control alone will not reach these devices, connect an another 282-00 to the 789-40. Consult your nearest Onkyo Service Center with any questions concerning Xantech Corporation's Multi Room system. 2. Models other than U.S.A., Canadian and Mexican models The following concerns Onkyo's Multi Room system. The green terminal on the TX-SV525/R is the fTrY terminal. The ONKYO HR-10 Remote sensor greatly increases system flexibility. Used with your TX-SV525/R the HR-ID allows you to control speakers even when you are not in the same room as the TX-SV525/R. In addition to basic functions like speaker on-off and volume and so on, you can also control most ONKYO CD players, cassette decks and digital audio tape decks that use the R I system. Adding an HE-50 (AC) Remote Emitter allows you to control even the non-ONKYO components in your home entertainment system from a separate room. When the HE-50 (AC) is being used to control more than one device from a distance but the infrared beams from the HE-50 (AC) remote control alone will not reach these devices, connect an HE-10 (Remote Emitter head) to the HE-50 (AC), and set it up to be aimed at the devices to be controlled. It would be necessary to change the construction of the TX-SV525/R in order to switch it from an ONKYO Multi Room system to a XANTECH Multi Room system.
