Compatibility with the Newest Technologies

This unit employs decoders compatible with Dolby Digital, DTS, Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Pro Logic II, DTS Neo:6, Music Enhancer, and Neural Surround.

◆Dolby Digital

This is the standard audio signal format used on various digital media such as DVD, Blu-ray, and HD DVD. This surround technology delivers high-quality digital audio for up to 5.1 discrete channels to produce a directional and more realistic effect.

◆DTS

◆Dolby Pro Logic

A surround system that takes a 4-channel signal and records it as a 2-channel signal, then by way of some arithmetic processing converts back to an independent 4-channel signal for playback.

◆Dolby Pro Logic II

Dolby Pro Logic II is an improved technique used to decode vast numbers of existing Dolby Surround software.

This new technology enables a discrete 5-channel playback with 2 front left and right channels, 1 center channel, and 2 surround left and right channels (instead of only 1 surround channel for conventional Pro Logic technology).

◆DTS Neo:6

This technology decodes the conventional 2-channel sources for 6-channel playback, enabling playback with the full-range channels with higher separation. Music mode and Cinema mode are available to play back music and movie sources respectively.

◆Music Enhancer to restore the original depth and width of compression artifacts such as the MP3 format.

◆Neural Surround decoder.

Sophisticated FM tuner

◆40-station random and direct preset tuning

◆Automatic preset tuning
