Welcome.

We are delighted that you have decided to purchase a product. With the addition of the digital surround decoder to your Hi-Fi system you are expanding it to embrace a completely new dimension: AudioVision .

With the digital surround decoder you can play Dolby Surround, Dolby Digital 1) and dts 2) encoded television programmes, video films and DVDs and experience a genuine “live” atmosphere, complete with exciting sound effects. The digital surround decoder is also capable of generating artificial sound fields, which enhance the apparent reality of non-encoded programme material. For example, if you are watching a sports programme, you can allow yourself to be transported into the stadium, or listen to a jazz concert in an authentic simulation of the atmosphere of a typical jazz club.

Of course, it is essential that all these new facilities should have no detrimental effect on the excellent sound qualities of your Hi-Fi system, and the design of your new machine has been carefully thought-through from start to finish to ensure that this is the case.

As you would expect, the digital surround decoder features five high-quality output stages of discrete construction, offering outstanding sound characteristics and generous reserves of power, and they can cope with impedance-critical loudspeakers and complex surround effects covering a very wide dynamic range without turning a hair. The unit includes a high-precision digital signal processor which is responsible for precise decoding of the surround material as well as generating the sound fields.

Naturally, we have remained faithful to our basic design and manufacturing principles in developing the digital surround decoder. This design philosophy includes an insistence on durability and reliability, the avoidance of materials which are environmentally harmful, the use of metals instead of plastics, and the exclusive exploitation of high-quality, thoroughly tested materials. To ensure consistently high product quality we subject everything we make to a comprehensive monitoring process, terminating in a fully automatic computer-controlled final quality check and acceptance procedure.

Optional accessories for this unit include high-quality cables and connectors, together with a range of specialised furniture designed to match the design of our equipment.

We have gathered some basic information on the subject of surround sound and video connections in the sections 'Surround systems - explanatory notes', 'Loudspeaker configuration for the DD 1535 R' and 'Picture norms, connecting AV devices to the DD 1535 R'. If you are not familiar with these subjects, please read these sections first, as they will help you understand how to install and operate the equipment.

We are grateful to you for placing your faith in us, and hope that you will enjoy many hours of pleasure with your digital surround decoder.

Note:

The DD1535R is designed specifically for use with a R-series stereo pre-amplifier, amplifier or receiver with an R LINK socket!
