TV MENU

As a Scart audio/video cable contains both audio and video inputs and outputs in one cable, the Scart connector between the DVD Receiver and the TV can also be used to lead the audio output signals of your TV to the DVD Receiver. In this way your TV programs can be listened to over your HS sound system.

NOTE: Please make sure that the Scart cable used has all pins connected. If not it could be that, only the video signal from the DVD Receiver will be lead to the TV.

Surround Mode Chart

Dolby Digital: Available only with digital input sources encoded with Dolby Digital data. It provides up to five separate main audio channels and a special dedicated Low Frequency Effects channel.

Dolby Digital signals will be down-mixed to

2-channel Stereo or processed to Dolby Virtual Speaker in order to be played back over the 2.1 loudspeaker system.

DTS: Available only with digital input sources encoded with DTS data. Available on special DVD, LD and audio-only discs, DTS provides up to five separate main audio channels and a special dedicated low frequency channel.

DTS signals will be down-mixed to 2-channel Stereo or processed to Dolby Virtual Speaker in order to be played back over the 2.1 loud- speaker system.

Dolby Virtual Speaker: This technology uses a next-generation advanced algorithm to repro- duce the dynamics and surround sound effects of a precisely placed 5.1-channel speaker system using only front left and right speakers. In the Reference Mode, the apparent width of the sound across the front image is defined by the distance between the two speakers. The Wide Mode provides a wider, more spacious front image when the two speakers are close together.
