Dantax LR-6500 manual Speaker Setup, Dolby Surround, Upsampling

System Configuration

5-Channel Stereo, 7-Channel Stereo

This mode takes advantage of multiple speakers to place a stereo signal at both the front and back of a room. Depending on whether the unit has been configured for either 5.1 or 6.1/7.1 operation, one of these modes, but not both, is available at any time. Ideal for playing music in sit- uations such as a party, it places the same signal at the front-left and surround-left, and front-right and surround- right speakers.

The center channel is fed a summed mono mix of the in- phase material of the left and right channels.

Stereo

This mode turns off all surround processing and presents the pure left- and right-channel presentation of two-chan- nel stereo programs.

PURE STEREO: When Audio input is selected analog, the unit is in a "bypass" mode with no bass management.

DSP STEREO: When DSP Stereo is selected, the signal is digitized and bass management settings are applied.

CDOLBY SURROUND

When DOLBY SURROUND mode is selected, a menu will be shown.

BACK TO MAIN MENU

The choices on this menu include the selection of the actu- al surround mode, the selection of rear channel post-pro- cessing when the system is configured for 7.1 operation, adjustments to the Night Mode when available with a Dolby Digital soundtrack, the adjustment of special para- meters available when either Dolby Pro Logic ll Music or Dolby Pro Logic llx Music is selected as the surround mode and control over digital upsampling, when available.

•Center Width: This setting adjusts the balance of the vocal information in the front sound stage between the center and front left/right speakers. The lower settings spread the center channel sound more broadly into the left and right channel s. A higher number (up to "7") pro- duces a tighter center channel presentation.

•Dimension: This setting alters the perceived depth of the surround field by creating a shallower presentation that appears to move sounds toward the front of the room, or a deeper presentation that appears to move the center of the sound field toward the back of the room. The setting of "O" is a neutral default, with the range of adjustment shown as "R-3" for a deeper, rear-oriented sound.

•Panorama: Switch this setting on or off to add an envelop- ing wraparound presentation the increases the percep- tion of sound along the sides of the room.

•NIGHT

OFF: When OFF is highlighted, the Night mode will not function.

MID: When MID is highlighted, a mild compression will be applied.

MAX: When MAX is highlighted, a more severe compres- sion algorithm will be applied.

•UPSAMPLING

The setting to turn the unit's upsampling feature on or off. In normal use, this feature is turned off, which means that digital sources are processed at their native sample rate. For example, a 48kHz digital source will be processed at 48kHz. However, the LR-6500 allows you to upsample the incoming 48kHz signals to 96kHz for added resolution.

NOTE: This feature is only available for the Dolby Pro Logic ll-Music, Dolby Pro Logic ll-Movie, Dolby Pro Logic and Dolby 3 Stereo modes.
