DSP sound modes

The digital sound processor (DSP) in this unit can decode Dolby Digital and DTS digital signals. It automatically determines the type of signal, PCM, Dolby Digital, or DTS, and processes it accordingly. The DSP can add surround-like effects to stereo sources (analogue or PCM signals).

Choose from the STEREO, SURROUND, or SFC modes.

The DSP may interfere with radio reception. You can turn it off if this occurs (\ page 22).

Output is in stereo when you turn the DSP off so sound is only heard through the front speakers.

Note

¡PCM with a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz is the digital signal format normally found on CDs. Some DVDs also use this format but often with a higher sampling rate.

¡This unit cannot process other digital signal formats, such as PCM signals with sampling frequencies of 96 kHz and 192 kHz and MPEG.

ASTEREO mode

Use this mode to play digital or analogue stereo sources or to play surround sources through two speakers. When surround sources are played in this mode, the sounds intended for the other speaker channels are played through the front speakers.

BSURROUND mode

Select this mode when you are playing a digital surround source (Dolby Digital or DTS) or an analogue source that is recorded with Dolby Surround (VCR, for example).

CChanging the recognition mode

In rare cases, the unit may have trouble recognizing the digital signals on discs. With the PCM signals on CDs, this may cause the beginning of a track to be cut off. Engage the PCM FIX mode if this occurs. With DTS, the signals may not be recognized at all. Engage the DTS FIX mode if this occurs.

This mode does not need to be changed under normal circumstances. Change it only if the unit appears to be having trouble recognizing the software you are playing.

While the input source is selected and digital input is engaged:

Press and hold [DIGITAL INPUT].

The current mode is displayed. Press again to change the mode. Each time you press the button:

AUTO / PCM FIX / DTS FIX

↑

When a FIX mode is on, the unit cannot process other signals. This may cause noise to be output. Select “AUTO” if this occurs.

The selected mode is stored even if the unit is turned off.
