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 directivity enhancer circuit to control the Left, Center, Right and Surround channel audio signals and reproduce a real sense of sound motion .

The 3 STEREO mode uses the directivity enhancer circuit to provide proper acoustic positioning and a real sense of sound motion even when only the front and center speakers are used.

New DSP surround modes

The DSP (Digital Signal Processor) used for this receiver incorporates a variety of high quality adjustable sound fields, like "ARENA", "JAZZ CLUB", "STADIUM", "CHURCH" and "THEATER", to add the “presence” associated with an arena, jazz club or stadium (etc.) to the original signal. It is compatible with almost any kind of program source.

Universal IR (InfraRed) remote control

In addition to the basic receiver and OSD operations, the remote control supplied with this receiver can also operate almost all of your remote controllable audio and video components. Just follow the simple setup procedure to register the

components you have connected.°

Dual IR emitters

This remote control has two IR emitters: one to send commands in a straight line over long distances, allowing you to control the receiver and your other components from farther away; and one for wide dispersion of commands in a closer proximity, for near-field operation even when the remote control is not pointed directly at the respective component. $

MACRO play

The MACRO function lets you perform a series of operations automatically, like turning ON the power of the receiver and connected components, switching the input selectors, and starting playback. (Be sure to register your components before

starting the macro set up procedure.)w

FutureSet, automatic update feature

This function lets you update the remote control so it can operate new components which do not appear in the setup code

list at the end of the manual. Therefore, the remote control will always be compatible.

y

Easy surround setup and operation with OSD (On Screen Display)

This function takes advantage of your monitor TV to simplify the surround setup procedures so you can quickly and easily

match the surround processing to your speaker system, and your listening environment.

 

You can also use OSD during playback to customize the DSP surround modes, etc.
