HOOKUP

23

Allows you to enjoy 5.1(or 6) discrete channels of high quality digi-
tal audio from DTS program sources bearing the trademark such
as discs, DVD and compact discs, etc. DTS Digital Surround deliv-
ers up to 6 channels of transparent audio(which means identical to
the original masters) and results in exceptional clarity throughout a
true 360 degree sound field. The term DTS is a trademark of DTS
Technology, LLC. Manufactured under license from DTS
Technology, LLC.

The Dolby Digital surround format lets you enjoy up to 5.1(or 6)
channels of digital surround sound from a Dolby Digital program
source. If you play DVDs with “

” mark, you can enjoy even

better sound quality, greater spatial accuracy, and improved
dynamic range.

(II)

Dolby Pro Logic II creates five full-bandwidth output channels
from two-channel sources. This is done using an advanced,
high-purity matrix surround decoder that extracts the spatial
properties of the original recording without adding any new
sounds or tonal colorations.

MOVIE mode:
The Movie mode is for use with stereo television shows and all
programs encoded in Dolby Surround. The result is enhanced
soundfield directionality that approaches the quality of discrete
5.1-channel sound.

MUSIC mode:
The Music mode is for use with any stereo music recordings,
and provides a wide and deep sound space. The Music mode
includes controls that allow the sound to be tailored to individual
listening tastes.

MATRIX mode:
The Matrix mode is the same as the Music mode except that the
directional enhancement logic is turned off. It may be used to
enhance mono signals by making them seem “larger.” The
Matrix mode may also find use in auto systems, where the fluc-
tuations from poor FM stereo reception can otherwise cause dis-
turbing surround signals from a logic decoder. The ultimate
“cure” for poor FM stereo reception may be simply to force the
audio to mono.

When playing recordings of live music and classic, this mode pro-
vides a feeling similar to actually being in a small concert hall.

When playing recordings of live music and classic, this mode provides
a feeling similar to actually being in a large concert hall.

This mode provides a three dimensional effect similar to that of a
movie theater.
