Dolby Pro Logic II

Dolby Pro Logic II is a multi-channel playback format to convert 2- channel software into 5-channel (plus subwoofer). The matrix-based conversion method used for Dolby Pro Logic II makes no limitation for the cutoff frequency of the surround treble and enables stereo surround sound.

This receiver provides two types of Dolby Pro Logic II modes— Pro Logic II Movie (PLII MOVIE) and Pro Logic II Music (PLII MUSIC).

When Dolby Pro Logic II is activated, the indicator lights up on the display.

PLII MOVIE: Suitable for playing any Dolby Surround encoded software. You can enjoy a sound field very close to the one created with discrete 5.1- channel sounds.

PLII MUSIC: Suitable for playing any 2-channel stereo software. You can enjoy wide and deep sounds.

DTS*2

DTS is another digital signal compression method, developed by Digital Theater Systems, Inc., and enables multi-channel encoding and decoding (1ch up to 6.1ch).

When DTS signal is detected through the digital input, the

indicator lights up on the display.

DTS Digital Surround

DTS Digital Surround (DTS) is another discrete 5.1 channel digital audio format available on CD, LD, and DVD software.

Compared to Dolby Digital, the DTS Digital Surround format has a lower audio compression rate which enables it to add breadth and depth to the sounds reproduced. As such, DTS Digital Surround features natural, solid, and clear sound.

When EX/ES setting is set to “ON,” DTS Neo:6 (DTS NEO:6) is applied while playing back multi-channel DTS software. It creates the same surround ambience as 6.1-channel software does.

DTS Extended Surround (DTS-ES)

DTS-ES is another multi-channel digital encoding format.

It greatly improves the 360-degree surround impression and space expression by adding the third surround channel—surround back channel.

DTS-ES includes two signal formats with different surround signal recording methods—DTS-ES Discrete 6.1ch (ES DSCRETE) and DTS-ES Matrix 6.1ch (ES MATRIX).

DTS-ES Discrete 6.1ch has been designed to encode (and decode) a 6.1-channel signal discretely to avoid interference with each channel.

DTS-ES Matrix 6.1ch has been designed to add an extra surround channel to DTS Digital Surround 5.1-channel. By using a matrix encoding/decoding method, an additional “surround back” channel signal is encoded (and decoded) in both the left and right surround channel signals.

You can use Virtual 6.1-channel surround when playing back DTS-ES software without connecting the surround back speakers. This surround reallocates the surround back channel to the surround speakers so that you can still feel the great surround effect from behind.

The VIRTUAL SB (Surround Back) indicator lights up on the display.

DTS 96/24

In recent years, there has been increasing interest in higher sampling rates both for recording and for reproducing at home. Higher sampling rates allow wider frequency range and greater bit depths provide extended dynamic range.

DTS 96/24 is a multi-channel digital signal format (fs 96 kHz/24 bits) introduced by Digital Theater Systems, Inc. to deliver “better- than-CD sound quality” into the home.

When DTS 96/24 signal is detected, the 96/24 indicator lights up. You can enjoy its 5.1-channel sound with full-quality.

DTS Neo:6

DTS Neo:6 is another conversion method to create 6-channel (plus subwoofer) from analog/digital 2-channel software by using the high precision digital matrix decoder used for DTS-ES Matrix 6.1ch. When one of Neo:6 modes is activated, the NEO:6 indicator lights up on the display.

This receiver provides the following DTS NEO:6 modes—Neo:6 Cinema (NEO:6CINMA) and Neo:6 Music (NEO:6MUSIC).

NEO:6CINMA: Suitable for playing movies. You can get the same atmosphere with 2-channel software as with 6.1-channel software. It is also effective for playing software encoded with conventional surround formats.

NEO:6MUSIC: Suitable for playing music software. The front channel signals bypass the decoder (resulting in no loss of sound quality) and the surround signals transmitted through the other speakers expand the sound field naturally.

What is Dual Mono?

Dual Mono can be easily understood when you think of the bilingual broadcast for TV programs (however, the Dual Mono format is not identical with those analog formats).

This format is now adopted in Dolby Digital, DTS, and so on. It allows two independent channels (called main channel and sub- channel) to be recorded separately.

When Dual Mono signal is detected, the DUAL indicator lights up. You can select either channel you want to listen to (see page 28).

When using the Surround mode, the sounds come out of the avtivated speakers which the Surround mode requires.

If the surround speakers and center speaker are deactivated, JVC’s original 3D-PHONIC processing (which has been developed to create the surround effect through the front speakers only) is used.

The 3D-PHONIC indicator lights up on the display.
