DSP sound modes

This unit’s digital signal processor (DSP) has the following three modes–STEREO, SURROUND and SFC.

A STEREO mode

Use this mode when you want to listen to stereo sources, whether they are digital or analogue, or when you want to play Dolby Digital or DTS sources through two channels. The sounds usually fed through the other speakers are down-mixed so they are output through the left and right front speakers. There may be some change in the overall sound when surround sources are down- mixed.

B SURROUND mode

By selecting this mode while digital input is being used, the unit automatically determines the kind of digital source being used (Dolby Digital, Dolby Surround, or DTS), and processes it accordingly. Select this mode also when you are playing an analogue source, VCR for example, that has been recorded in Dolby Surround.

Software with the following marks can be played back in this mode.

The following indicators light depending on the source.

DIGITAL

When playing Dolby Digital sources.

When playing DTS sources.

PRO LOGIC

When playing analogue sources.

When playing digital sources with PCM signals.

When playing Dolby Digital sources that contain Dolby Pro Logic.

About the program format indicators (L, C, R, LS, S, LFE, RS)

The program format indicators light up to indicate the channels contained in the digital input signal.

These indicators do not light when input is analogue.

L:Front channel (left)

C:Center channel

R:Front channel (right) LS: Surround channel (left) RS: Surround channel (right)

If the surround channel is monaural, “S” is displayed instead of LS and RS.

“LFE” (Low Frequency Effect) is a channel for the deep-bass effect.
