DTS (KRF-V7030D only)

The DTS multi-channel audio format is available on CD, LD and DVD software. DTS is a strictly digital format and can not be decoded inside most CD, LD or DVD players. For this reason, if you attempt to listen to DTS encoded software through the analog output of your new CD, LD or DVD player, you will experience digital noise in most cases. This noise can be quite loud if the analog output is connected directly to a high power amplification system. Proper measures for playing the digital output as described below should be taken to avoid this situation. To enjoy DTS Digital Surround playback, an external 5.1 channel DTS Digital Surround decoder system or an amplifier with a built-in DTS Digital Surround decoder must be connected to the digital output (S/P DIF, AES/EBU or TosLink) of a CD, LD or DVD player.

KRF-7030D is incorporate the DTS decoder.

Dolby Digital (AC-3)

The Dolby Digital (AC-3) surround format lets you enjoy up to 5.1 channels of digital surround sound from Dolby Digital (AC-3) program

sources (such as Laserdisc or DVD software marked ). Compared with previous Dolby surround, Dolby Digital (AC-3) provides even better sound quality, greater spatial accuracy, and improved dynamic range.

Note

Although a full set of speakers (front left, right, and center, surround left and right, and a subwoofer) is required for true 5.1 channel Dolby Digital (AC-3) surround sound, this receiver lets you enjoy Dolby Digital (AC-3) (and Dolby Surround) program sources, even if you connect only the

front speakers. ("Speaker placement")

*LFE = Low Frequency Effects. This channel delivers separate non- directional bass signals to the subwoofer for more dynamic deep bass sound effects.

Although only Dolby Digital (AC-3) soundtracks incorporate a separate low frequency channel, connecting a subwoofer will also improve deep bass performance in the other surround modes.

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