BASIC OPERATIONS ON DVD DECK

Surround Mode

Reproducing Theatrical Atmosphere

In movie theatres, a number of speakers are located on the wall to reproduce realistic sensation by means of calculated sound effects, enabling sounds to be heard from all directions.

By locating a number of speakers encircling the audience seats, localisation of sound and dynamism are remarkably improved. This system, which makes use of 5 speakers and subwoofer can reproduce the realistic sensation experienced in the movie theatres at home.

Surround Mode

Dolby Surround●Dolby Digital*

A multi-channel audio compression format used for DVDs. (This kind of software bears the Gmark.)

For Dolby Digital 5.1CH, the front left channel, front right channel, centre channel, rear left channel, rear right channel and subwoofer channel, a total of 5.1 channels (subwoofer is counted as 0.1 channel) each produces sound independently, thus minimising interference between the channels and enabling reproduction of stereo surround with better sound quality.

This system with its built-in Dolby Digital decoder allows you to enjoy the Dolby Digital realistic sensation comparable to the movie theatres and stage theatres.

●A DB lights on the front display panel when Dolby Digital signal is detected.

Dolby Digital EX, which adds a surround back channel to the conventional Dolby Digital 5.1CH, further enhances the realistic sensation.

●Dolby Pro Logic II (Pro Logic 2)

This system is built-in with a Dolby Pro Logic decoder. It extracts and playback 5.1-channel sound from 2-channel sound recorded in Dolby Surround format using matrix circuitry. This will enable stereo and encircling surround effect.

A similar surround effect can also be obtained through normal 2- channel stereo sound.

This unit is equipped with Dolby Pro Logic II APL II MOVIEB andAPL II MUSICB.

A PL IIB lights on the front display panel when Dolby Pro Logic II is activated.

	Suitable for playing any Dolby Surround
	encoded software.
PL II MOVIE	You can enjoy a sound field very close to
	the one created with discrete 5.1-channel
	sounds.
	Suitable for playing any 2-channel stereo
PL II MUSIC	software.
	You can enjoy wide and deep sounds.

●DTS Digital Surround

DTS Digital Surround is used for CDs, LDs, DVDs etc. (This kind of software bears the Kmark.)

It is another discrete 5.1-channel digital audio format with lower audio compression rate which enables it to add breadth and depth to the sounds reproduced.

This system with its built-in DTS surround decoder enables playing back of DTS digital surround video software.

● A B lights when DTS signal is detected.

Digital Theater Systems, Inc. greatly improves the 360 degree surround and spatial effects through DTS-ESwith an additional surround back channel.

DTS-ESincludes two signal formats with different surround signal recording methods^DTS-ESDiscrete 6.1ch and DTS-ESMatrix 6.1ch.

●You can use Virtual Surround Back when playing back DTS-ESsoftware.

This function creates great surround effects from behind as if Surround Back speakers are connected.

●DTS96/24

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

DTS96/24 is a multi-channel digital signal format (fs 96 kHz/24 bits) adopted by Digital Theater Systems, Inc. to deliver Abetter- than-CD sound qualityB into the home.

●A 96/24B lights when DTS96/24 signal is detected. You can enjoy its 5.1-channel sound with full quality.

Linear PCMUncompressed digital audio data used for DVDs, CDs, and Video CDs.

DVDs support 2 channels with sampling rates of 48/96 kHz, at quantization of 16/20/24 bits.

On the other hand, CDs and Video CDs are limited to 2 channels with 44.1 kHz at 16 bits.

3D Headphone ModeYou can also enjoy surround sound through the headphones.

If Surround is activated, 3D headphone mode will be activated regardless of the software type being played under the condition that the front speakers are not activated.
