Mini Glossary
Allows you to enjoy 5.1(or 6) discrete channels of high
quality digital audio from DTS program sources such as
discs, DVD and compact discs, etc. bearing the trademark.
DTS Digital Surround delivers up to 6 channels of
transparent audio 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
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.
Use this mode when playing movie or Dolby Digital 2 channel
which carries the “
” mark. This mode provides the
effect of being in a movie theatre or live concert house-an
effect with an intensity which can only be obtained through
DOLBY PRO LOGIC SURROUND. The effect of the
front/back/left/right movement of the sound image, as well as
the sense of fixed position in the sound image, is much
clearer and more dynamic than before.
(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.
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
fluctuations from poor FM stereo reception can otherwise
cause disturbing surround signals from a logic decoder. The
ultimate “cure” for poor FM stereo reception may be simply to
force the audio to mono.
3D SURROUND
This unit can produce a 3D Surround effect, using 3D
Surround Sound technology, which simulates multi-channel
audio playback from two conventional stereo speakers
instead of the five or more speakers normally required to
listen to multi-channel audio from a home theatre. This
feature works with DVD discs encoded with Dolby Pro Logic
and Dolby Digital audio tracks.
BYPASS
Software with multichannel surround audio signals is played
according to the way it was recorded.
Sound Mode
You can enjoy surround sound simply by selecting
one of the pre-programmed sound fields according to
the
program you want to listen to.
Each time you press the SOUND MODE button, the
sound mode is changed in the following order;
PRO LOGIC → PLII MOVIE → PLII MUSIC →
PLII MATRIX → ROCK → POP → LIVE → DANCE →
TECHNO → CLASSIC → SOFT → 3D SURROUND →

For DVD Operation
You can change the sound mode of DVD (Dolby Digital,
DTS, PRO LOGIC, etc.) by pressing the AUDIO button
repeatedly on the remote during playback.
Although DVD contents differ from disc to disc, the following
explains the basic operation when this feature is used.
Each time you press AUDIO, the Combi Receiver sound
mode is changed in the following order;

For your reference
• The Home Theater System memorizes the last
mode setting for each source individually.
• You can identify the encoding format of program
software by looking at its packaging.
- Dolby Digital discs are labeled with the
logo.
- Dolby Surround encoded programs are labeled
with the logo.
- DTS Digital Surround discs are marked with DTS.
Note:
When you play sound tracks with 96kHz sampling
frequency, the output signals will be converted to 48kHz
(sampling frequency).
