DTS

DTS Digital Surround is the standard for providing 5.1 channels of discrete digital audio in consumer electronics products and software content.

DTS can contain a larger volume of data than Dolby Digital, and can reproduce high quality surround sound. They are the same as the Dolby Digital 5.1 channels, but it is a format that lowered the audio compression rate when recording digitally. Because of that, rich sound with high S/N can be reproduced. Moreover, an exact, magnificent surround sound with wide dynamic range and excelling in separation is a feature of DTS.

DTS has a ".1" or LFE channel.

The indication "LFE" appears in the display when a signal is being input for this channel.

DSP mode

The DSP mode lets you add the atmosphere of a live concert or hall to almost any type of program source. These modes are particularly effective when used with stereo program sources, like CD, television, and FM radio. You might enjoy trying the ARENA, JAZZ CLUB, THEATER, STADIUM or DISCO mode the next time you watch a concert or sporting event!

What's DSP?

DSP stands for Digital Signal Processor.

The way a sound is heard in an actual environment depends on a variety of different factors. One of the most important is reverberation (the act of decaying elements of sound echoing in various places).

The DSP modes produce the feeling of presence by using the DSP to create reverberation, without spoiling the sound quality of the original signal.

DVD 6-channel mode

Using a DVD player or the like equipped with six (5.1) output channels and this unit, you can enjoy multi-channel encoded DVD source material in all its splendor. Since the source signals are digital and each channel is input independently, the resulting sound quality, sense of spaciousness, and dynamic range are superb.

The indication "6CH INPUT" appears in the display during DVD 6-channel mode selection.

Note:

•LFE = Low Frequency Effects.

This channel delivers separate non-directional bass signals to the subwoofer for more dynamic deep bass sound effects.
