Dolby Digital

The DOLBY DIGITAL mode lets you enjoy full digital surround from software processed in the Dolby Digital format. Dolby Digital provides up to 5.1 channels of independent digital audio for better sound quality and more powerful presence than conventional Dolby Surround.

Pro Logic II, whilst totally compatible with its predecessor PRO LOGIC, provides greater advantages in surround sound. It allows user to enjoy the conventional stereo or Dolby Surround with a convincing “5.1 like” presentation. PRO LOGIC II offers special features for controlling the overall spatial, dimensionality and frontal sound field imaging. Dolby PRO LOGIC II produces an impressive surround sound from video

software marked and three-dimensional space from music CD. When listening to music, you will be able to enjoy the experience of sheer STEREO surround sound.

Dolby 3 Stereo

This surround system reproduces theater-like surround sound from

video software marked .

The 3 STEREO mode will redirect the Surround signal to the front left and right speakers when only the front and center speakers are used.

DTS

DTS (Digital Theater System) is a 5.1 channel digital audio format that provides five full-spectrum channels and one low-frequency (subwoofer) channel for unprecedented clarity, optimum channel separation and a (wide) dynamic range.

In the DTS mode, the 5.1 channel digital input from a DTS CD, LD or DVD disc (carrying the “DTS” marking) can be played in Digital Surround. Important:

When a DTS disc is played on a CD, LD or DVD player, noise may be output from the analog output. It is recommended that you connect the digital output of the player to the digital input of this unit.

variety of high quality adjustable sound fields, like “ARENA”, “JAZZ
