USING THE T 752

Dolby Digital

Dolby Digital EX

DTS

DTS ES 6.1

Digital recordings in Dolby Digital or DTS formats are reproduced via the channels employed in the original recording (up to the maximum channels present in the current <Speaker Settings> setup).

NOTE: The DVD player must be sending a Dolby Digital or DTS bit-stream from its digital output. Your DVD player probably includes its own setup menu that (among other things) lets you select the default bit- stream format, and usually includes an “Auto” setting that directs the player to choose the Dolby Digital/ DTS signal whenever these are available. In a few cases, you may have to set the player’s bit-stream manually to “DD/DTS” or an equivalent. In the case of DVDs that carry both Dolby Digital and DTS, you will select one or the other from the disc’s (not the player’s) main menu.

Note also that while most Dolby Digital recordings are 5.1-channel surround productions, older examples may be multichannel, 2-channel, or even monaural; the T 752 will automatically reproduce the Dolby Digital signal with the maximum number of channels available.

Both Dolby Digital/EX and DTS/ES 6.1-channel recordings are reproduced using the surround back channel, if present in the current Speaker Settings setup; additionally, the T 752 creates surround-back signal from non-EX/ES, 5.1-channel Dolby Digital and DTS recordings.

Dolby Digital EX creates six full-bandwidth output channels from any 5.1-channel Dolby Digital recordings. The very best results occur with movies or other programs bearing the Dolby Digital Surround EX mark, which are produced to take full advantage of this playback mode.

The table below indicates which listening modes are available with the two types of audio signal sources: digital- or analog-input 2-channel (whether the actual signal is monaural, stereo or surround-encoded), and digital-multichannel (Dolby Digital or DTS). Where a listening mode is not available to a given signal source, it will not appear in the <Listening Mode> selection rotation.

DISPLAYING THE SIGNAL MODE

Keying the front panel’s DISPLAY or HTR 2 remote's [DISP] key will display on the VFL the channel-mode of the currently selected input signal, in the format “front/surround.subwoofer” (see “4 DISPLAY” in the “Front Panel” section, above).

The following table shows examples of displays seen with various signal types:

SELECTING LISTENING MODES

Keying the HTR 2 remote's [SURR MODE] button steps through each of the T 752’s Listening Modes available to the current input signal. It also momentarily displays the Listening Mode in the OSD.

NOTE: Changing the type of input signal may automatically change the Listening Mode: If the new signal is a Dolby Digital or DTS recording, it will automatically invoke its native mode. The reverse is also true if Dolby Digital or DTS was previously selected.
