FOR ULTIMATE CONTROL–THE LAST REMOTE YOU’LL EVER NEED
That’s a bold statement, but when you can back it up with a technological marvel like this remote control, we’re confident you’ll agree. From the moment you lay eyes on the remote, you’ll realize it’s something to behold. And when you hold it, you’ll know it’s much more than ordinary. Graced with an aluminium front panel and a design perfectly matched to the contours of your hand, you’ll find it hard to put down. And when it’s in your hand, control is truly yours. The main buttons are logically located in the centre–something that more than a few companies have yet to realize is important for one finger control. And when you press those buttons you’ll notice the advantages over soft, “gummy” ones. Smart? Well let’s just say this remote has gone to the head of the class with codes from most manufacturers already pre-programmed, and in the unlikely event you need one not included, there’s learn- ing capability added so you can do away
with “remote clutter” and use this to control all your compatible components. Not enough? Well we’re not stopping there. An LCD screen and scroll wheel let you find the component you wish to control–a DVD player, receiver, video recorder, what- ever–with just a spin. And when you want direct access to your TV, buttons at the top let you control the channel and volume without hunting around. With Macros, you can customize the remote to your individual needs by programming a series of operations into a single button. We also took into considera- tion the importance of entertaining in the dark and not wanting to waste time searching for a button. Backlit with a soft lumi- nescence, low-light operation has never been easier. So now, sit back, pick up your remote and with the push of one button, it can be lights, camera, action–just remember to put it back down occasionally!
DOLBY DIGITAL EX & PRO LOGIC IIx
Dolby Digital EX creates six full-bandwidth output channels from 5.1-channel sources. This is done using a matrix de- coder that derives three surround channels from the two in the original recording. For best results, Dolby Digital EX should be used with movie soundtracks recorded with Dolby Digital Surround EX. Dolby Pro Logic IIx processes any
native stereo or 5.1-channel signal into a 6.1- or 7.1-channel output to create a seamless, natural soundfield. You can choose from Movie or Music Modes depending on your source material. There’s even a Game Mode that delivers full-impact special effects panned to the surrounds.
DOLBY HEADPHONE
This technology lets you enjoy multichannel sound sources, with thrilling, realistic surround sound over any conven- tional stereo headset. Dolby Headphone can be applied into virtually any type of product–audio, video, PC or video game which features the Dolby Headphone symbol. Now you can enjoy real surround sound from your headphones without bothering anyone around you.
DOLBY VIRTUAL SPEAKER
With Dolby Virtual Speaker technology, as few as two speakers, placed in front of you in a typical stereo setup, can actually sound like the speakers in a full surround sound home cinema system. This next-generation process reproduces the complex sonic cues necessary to locate where sounds are coming from. It literally convinces your ears that you are surrounded by sonic activity.
DTS & DTS-ES
DTS, like Dolby Digital, is a discrete 5.1-channel system, but one which uses less compression than Dolby Digital. There are two DTS-ES (Extended Surround) formats:
DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 and DTS-ES Matrix 6.1. The DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 format is, as the name implies, a 6.1-channel system with a discrete back surround channel, while DTS- ES Matrix 6.1, like Dolby Digital Surround EX, provides a matrix-encoded back surround channel.
DTS NEO:6
For listeners accustomed to multi-channel surround sound, the amount of stereo encoded sound tracks on the market can be disappointing. DTS NEO:6 offers several improve- ments. Stereo matrix to 6.1 or 5.1: NEO:6 provides up to six full-bandwidth channels of matrix decoding from stereo matrix material. Extended surround: NEO:6 provides opti- mum decoding of Extended Surround matrix soundtracks, and can also generate a centre surround channel from
