The DD1535R features a digital decoder which is capable of decoding all sound formats currently in use. The output can be via a stereo speaker pair, a three-channel (stereo + centre) set or a 5, 6 or 7-channel surround loudspeaker set.

Regardless of the loudspeaker configuration you use in your home, the DD 1535 R ensures that no recorded sound information is ever lost.

For example, if a 6.1 recording is played back using a 3.0 loudspeaker set (front left, front right, front centre), the DD1535R mixes the rear channel information onto the loudspeakers which are actually present, maintaining correct levels and phase. The information of the LFE (Low Frequency Effects) channel, i. e. of the 1. channel, is also mixed onto the channels which are present. You therefore hear everything contained in the original recording. However, if rear speakers are not present in your system, the surround effects cannot be reproduced. You therefore do not sit in the middle of events, but more as if in a theatre in front of an acoustic stage, on which the action takes place.

For the genuine surround experience you require at least a 5-channel loudspeaker set - with or without a sub-woofer.

To ensure that the SR1535R is able to distribute the information in all recordings correctly to your individual loudspeaker combination, it is important that you enter the correct settings in the Loudspeaker Configuration menu when installing your system, i. e. which loudspeakers are present and connected, what size they are, and how far they are located from the listening position. It is also essential to calibrate the loudspeakers so that they reproduce the signals at exactly the right volume. This ensures that sound effects take place exactly at the position intended by the film director. With the loudspeaker con-figuration menu you can also compensate for differences in sound between individual loudspeakers, e. g. when speakers have to be set up in the corners of the room. To simplify the speaker configuration process as much as possible the SR1535R features an 'Assistant' which carries out most of the work for you fully automatically, i. e. level calibration, tone settings and speaker distances (see the chapter 'Auto Setup').

Picturenorms,connectingAVdevicestotheDD1535 R

There are several different picture norms designed for transferring video data. The most common ones are: Video (also sometimes referred to as FBAS or CVBS), S- Video (also known as Y/C or S-VHS) and Component Video (common abbreviations YUV, Y Pb Pr or Y Cb Cr).

Video is supported by virtually all source devices, TV sets, monitors and video recorders. It is therefore the most universal method of connecting video devices to each other, but unfortunately also provides the worst quality of all.

S-Video offers a significant improvement in picture quality over Video. If monitor and source device permit, the S-Video connection should always be preferred.

The absolute best picture quality is obtained using Component Video. However, Component Video is not supported by video recorders, and only a few TV sets feature the appropriate inputs. Component Video is primarily used to connect DVD players to high-quality projectors, or other large-format monitors.

The DD1535R offers sockets for all three video norms listed above. It can also convert Video into S-Video, and S- Video into normal video signals. As the owner of an DD1535R you therefore do not need to limit yourself to standard Video as the “lowest common denominator” for all your video equipment. You can connect any devices to the DD1535R , no matter what the picture norms, and use them together. The DD1535R always automatically sets the best possible connection between source, monitor and video recorder.

With its integral norm converter the DD1535R automatically ensures that, for example, a normal video signal is fed to a standard video recorder when making a recording, even if the source device generates S-Video signals. With the DD1535R this also works the other way round: if you own an S-Video recorder, the DD1535R always ensures that an S-Video recording signal is available for it - regardless of whether the source device supplies an S-Video signal or only a standard Video signal.

The DD1535R also carries out a norm conversion for the video monitor connected to it. Regardless of what your source device generates, the correct video signal is always available for your monitor.

To ensure that the DD1535R is able to manage the various picture signals correctly, it is essential to enter the type of signal - Video or S-Video - which the source device supplies when you are installing each device to be connected to the machine (see the chapter 'Configuration / Video Inputs').

Available as an option: YUV converter module

The YUV converter module converts all Video and S- Video input signals to YUV output signals. If this module is present, all video signals are sent as YUV signals to the monitor and the additonal Video / S-Video cables to the monitor can be omitted. For details about the YUV converter module ask your dealer or distributor.
