Notes on the output of Dolby Digital (AC-3) source signals

When Dolby Digital (AC-3) encoded sources are played back through this unit, the output method changes automatically according to the information recorded on the source and the settings of this unit.

•When playing a source encoded with discrete information

If the “DOLBY” sound field or DIRECT PASS is set to ON: The DISCRETE indicator lights up and the number of channels recorded in the source are decoded and output directly.

If a sound field (other than “ACOUSTIC” or “KARAOKE”) is set to ON: The DISCRETE indicator lights up and the number of channels recorded in the source are decoded. The effects provided by each sound field are then added to each channel before the sound is output.

If the “ACOUSTIC” soundfield is selected or the sound field is set to OFF: The source signal is downmixed to 2 ch (Left and Right) stereo before output. When “ACOUSTIC” is selected equalizer (EQ) adjustments can be performed.

•When playing a source encoded with Dolby Pro Logic information

If the “DOLBY” sound field or DIRECT PASS is set to ON: “PRO LOGIC” appears in the display, the sound is decoded using Pro Logic formula and output.

If a sound field (other than “ACOUSTIC”) is set to ON: The effects provided by each sound field are added to each channel before the sound is output.

When the sound field genre is MOVIE (except for MONO MOVIE) or 3D the sound is decoded using the Pro Logic formula and “PRO LOGIC” appears in the display.

If the “ACOUSTIC” sound field is selected or the sound field is set to OFF: The source signal is downmixed to 2 ch (Left and Right) stereo before output. When “ACOUSTIC” is selected equalizer (EQ) adjustments can be performed.

Note on the “KARAOKE” mode

The KARAOKE mode is designed to reduce vocal tracks positioned in the center of 2 channel sources. Therefore, 5.1 channel Dolby Digital (AC-3) sources must be downmixed to 2 channels before the KARAOKE effect can be applied. Consequently, the “DISCRETE” indicator does not light when you select KARAOKE while inputting 5.1 channel Dolby Digital (AC-3) sources.
