6. Attachments – Do not use attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer as they may cause hazards.

7. Water and Moisture – Do not use the appliance near water – for example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub; in a wet basement; or near a swimming pool; and the like.

8. Accessories – Do not place the appliance on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The appliance may fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to the appliance. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer, or sold with the appliance. Any mounting of the appliance should follow the manufacturer’s instructions, and should use a mounting accessory recommended by the manufacturer.

9. An appliance and cart combination should be moved with

PORTABLE CART WARNING care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the appliance and cart combination to overturn.

10. Ventilation – Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the appli-

S3125A ance and to protect it from overheating, and these openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the appliance on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. The appliance should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided. There should be free space of at least 20 cm (8 in.) and an opening behind the appliance.

11. Power Sources – The appliance should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your appliance dealer or local power company.

12. Grounding or Polarization – The appliance may be equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

13. Power-Cord Protection – Power-supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the appliance.

14. Outdoor Antenna Grounding – If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the appliance, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/

NFPA 70, provides information with regard to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna-discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode. See Figure 1.

15. Lightning – For added protection for the appliance during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the appliance due to lightning and power-line surges.

16. Power Lines – An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.

17. Overloading – Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

18. Object and Liquid Entry – Never push objects of any kind into the appliance through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short-out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the appliance.

19. Servicing – Do not attempt to service the appliance yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

20. Damage Requiring Service – Unplug the appliance form the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:

A. When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged,

B. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the appliance,

C. If the appliance has been exposed to rain or water,

D. If the appliance does not operate normally by following the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions as an improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the appliance to its normal operation,

E. If the appliance has been dropped or damaged in any way, and

F.

When the appliance exhibits a distinct change in performance – this indicates a need for service.

21. Replacement Parts – When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.

22. Safety Check – Upon completion of any service or repairs to the appliance, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to determine that the appliance is in proper operation condition.

23. Wall or Ceiling Mounting – The appliance should be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer.

24. Heat – The appliance should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other appliances (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

AMPLIFIER FEATURES

■ 130 WATTS MINIMUM OF CONTINUOUS RMS POWER to each of the 7channels into 8 Ω, from 20 Hz to 20 kHz with no more than 0.05%THD (FTC rating)–clean high-current amplification provides incredible dynamic range for seamless reproduction of even the most demanding cinema soundtracks, as well as animatedly rich music at any volume level.

■ 7.1-CHANNEL AMPLIFIER–the first receiver to achieve this feat in one chassis–the DTR-9.1 provides unparalleled power and clarity to all 7.1-channels for a room-filling sound experience seconds to none.

■ LUCASFILM THX ® ULTRA CERTIFIED–in addition to the amazing ability to drive 7.1 channels, the DTR-9.1 also boasts the distinction of carrying the exclusive THX Ultra badge of approval–assurance that this receiver passed (and often exceeds) THX's numerous requirements in such areas as frequency response, distortion, power output, and stability.

■ 192kHz/24-BIT D/A CONVERTERS FOR ALL CHANNELS– the first receiver in the industry to utilize these powerful converters for all seven channels–the DTR-9.1's DACs not only boast a dynamic range of 120dB, they also process more information faster and are virtually resistant to clock jitter, to ensure the best performance possible from DVD-Audio and other upcoming formats, while also producing cleaner, clearer sound form DVDs and CDs.

■ WIDE RANGE AMPLIFIER TECHNOLOGY(WRAT)

WRAT virtually eliminates the adverse effects of counter-electromotive force by: 1) applying an uncommonly low amount of NFB

(negative feed-back), 2) using carefully selected, high-tolerance, wide range parts in all critical sections, and 3) incorporating innovative circuit topology based upon decades of highend amplifier-design experience–the final result is a flat response beyond 100kHz, making the DTR-9.1 ideal for such high-resolution formats as DVD-Audio and Super Audio CD, and other upcoming digital formats.

FLEXBILITY FEATURES

■ FUTURE-PROOF INTERFACE ARCHITECTURE–a versatile

RS232 port allows the DTR-9.1's powerful 4Mbit Flash Memory to be directly computer accessed for installing such future upgrades as new DSP algorithms, new surround formats/parameters, and other types of processing updates.

■ ZONE 2 MULTIROOM/MULTISOURCE CAPABILITY–a full set of line outs for audio, composite video, and S-video, allows for set-up of an additional system in another room–connect an optional infrared eye in Zone 2, and complete second-room control can be achieved with such A/V distribution control systems as Xantech ® , Niles ® , to name but a few.

AUDIO/VIDEO FEATURES

■ THX SURROUND EX ® BUILT IN to decode the additional two back surround channels from THX Surround EX-encoded DVDs and laserdiscs, for incredibly real 360˚ surround sound effects and precise sound location.

Installing the remote controller batteries

1. Remove the battery compartment cover by pressing the tab and sliding the cover.

2. Insert two AA (R6 or UM-3) batteries into the battery compartment. Carefully follow the polarity diagram (positive (+) and negative (–) symbols) inside the battery compartment.

3. After batteries are installed and seated correctly, replace the compartment cover.

Notes:

• Do not mix new batteries with old batteries or different kinds of batteries.

• To avoid corrosion, remove the batteries if the remote controller is not to be used for a long time.

• Remove dead batteries immediately to avoid damage from corrosion. If the remote controller does not operate smoothly, replace both the batteries at the same time.

• The life of the batteries supplied is about six months but this will vary depending on usage.

Using the remote controller

Point the remote controller toward the remote control sensor. The STANDBY indicator lights up when the unit receives a signal from the remote controller.

Notes:

• Place the unit away from strong light such as direct sunlight or inverted fluorescent light which can prevent proper operation of the remote controller.

• Using another remote controller of the same type in the same room or using the unit near equipment which uses infrared rays may cause operational interference.

• Do not put objects on the remote controller. The buttons of the remote controller may be pressed by mistake and drain the batteries.

• Make sure the audio rack doors do not have colored glass. Placing the unit behind such doors may prevent proper remote controller operation.

• If there is any obstacle between the remote controller and the remote control sensor, the remote controller will not operate.

Memory preservation

This unit does not require memory preservation batteries. A built-in memory power backup system preserves the contents of the memory during power failures and even when the POWER switch is set to off. The POWER switch must be set to on in order to charge the backup system.

The memory preservation period after the unit has been turned off varies depending on climate and placement of the unit. On the average, memory contents are protected over a period of a few weeks after the last time the unit has been turned off. This period is shorter when the unit is exposed to a highly humid climate.

The DTR-9.1 includes a second signal path separate from the main one that can be used for a remote zone (Zone 2) or for making recordings. By connecting an additional amplifier or other video equipment to the Zone 2 outputs, you can output to a separate room an input source that is different from that being used in the main room. This allows you to watch one program in one room while somebody else is watching a different program in another.

Press the Zone 2 button to enable output to the ZONE 2 outputs. After pressing the Zone 2 button, press one of the input source selector buttons within 8 seconds to select the input source for the remote zone. When one is selected, the indicator above that button will light in green.

The current input source is set for digital input at OPT1.

9.1.

AMP IN

These jacks are for connecting a graphic equalizer for further control of the audio output.

• When connecting a graphic equalizer, remove the attached jumper plugs and store them carefully so as not to lose them.

• Only remove the jumper plugs when required. After you finish using an AMP IN jack, replace the jumper plug.

PRE OUT

These jacks are for connecting auxiliary power amplifiers.

• When connecting auxiliary power amplifiers, remove the attached jumper plugs and store them carefully so as not to lose them.

• Only remove the jumper plugs when required. After you finish using a PRE OUT jack, replace the jumper plug.

MONITOR OUT

There are 2 monitor outputs and each one includes both composite video and S-video configurations.

When connecting two video monitors or televisions, be aware that the OSD interface can only be used with

MONITOR OUT 1 (OSD will not be displayed on the video monitor connected to MONITOR OUT 2).

DIGITAL INPUT/OUTPUT

(coaxial, optical, and input-only AC-3RF)

These are the digital audio inputs and outputs. There are 5 digital inputs with coaxial jacks, 3 with optical jacks, and 1 AC-3RF input. The inputs accept digital audio signals from a compact disc, LD, DVD, or other digital source component. For digital output, there is 1 coaxial output and 1 optical output. The digital outputs can be connected to MD recorders, CD recorders, DAT decks, or other similar components.

COAXIAL Coaxial cable

• When using the digital inputs and outputs, make sure to also connect the analog connections whenever possible.

• When using one of the optical input or output jacks, remove the protective cap and keep it safely.

When the jack is not used, replace the protective cap.

• When using an optical input or output jack, always use an optical fiber cable.

COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT/OUTPUT

If your DVD player or other device has component video connectors, be sure to connect them to these component video connectors on the DTR-9.1. The DTR-

9.1 has three component video input connectors to obtain the color information (Y, P B , P R ) directly from the recorded DVD signal or other video component and one component video output connector to output it directly into the matrix decoder of the display device.

By sending the pure DVD component video signal directly, the DVD signal forgoes the extra processing that normally would degrade the image. The result is vastly increased image quality, with incredibly lifelike colors and crisp detail.

Connecting speakers

Before connecting the speakers, place them correctly by consulting the instruction manuals that came with them.

For surround playback, the configuration and placement of your speakers are very important.

For THX surround EX playback, we recommend that you use a THX speaker system that is certified by Lucasfilm

Ltd.

Speaker placement

Ideal speaker placement varies depending on the size of your room and the wall coverings. Here, only typical example of speaker placement and recommendations are shown.

Ideal speaker configuration

• Front right and left speakers

• Center speaker

Produces a rich sound image by serving as a sound source for the front right and left speakers and enhancing the sonic movement.

• Surround right and left speakers

Adds three-dimensional sonic movement and produces environmental sound associated with the background and effect sound for each scene.

• Surround back right and left speakers

Required for enjoying THX Surround EX audio.

• Subwoofer

Produces powerful and heavy bass.

Minimum speaker configuration for surround sound playback

Important points regarding speaker placement

Front left and right speakers and center speaker

• Place these three speakers at the same height from the floor.

• Place each speaker so that sound is aimed at the location of the listener’s ears when at the listening position.

Surround left and right speakers

• Place these speakers so that their height is 1 meter higher than that of the listener’s ears.

Surround back left and right speakers

• These speakers are required for enjoying THX Surround EX audio.

• Place these speakers behind the listener so that the angle between each speaker and the listener is approximately 30 degrees.

• Place these speakers so that their height is 1 meter higher than that of the listener’s ears.

10

• Front right and left speakers

• Surround right and left speakers

The sound recorded for the center speaker and the subwoofer will be properly distributed to the front right and left speakers and the surround right and left speakers for optimized surround playback.

10 Listening position

Most dipoles have an arrow on them to indicate their orientation towards the screen. So for the side dipoles, the arrows point forward. For the back dipoles, the arrows should point towards each other to achieve the correct acoustical phasing in the room.



Notes:

• The DTR-9.1 is designed to produce optimum sound quality when speakers with impedances within the specified ranges are connected. Check the following information and choose speakers with appropriate impedances for the connections.

CAUTION:

SPEAKER IMPEDANCE

6 min. per each speaker terminal.

• When you are using only one speaker or when you wish to listen to monaural

(mono) sound, a single speaker should never be connected in parallel to both the right and leftchannel terminals simultaneously.

NO!

Calibrating the speaker levels

(1) When this sub-menu is entered, the DTR-9.1 will emit a pink noise from the front left speaker. At this time, the master volume automatically increases to the reference level (0dB). Remember the level of this noise and then press the DOWN cursor button.

(Note that this can be adjusted to any level between -12 and 12 decibels in 0.5-decibel intervals.)

The DTR-9.1 will now emit the pink noise from the center speaker.

(2) Using the and cursor buttons, adjust the volume level of the noise from the center speaker so that it is the same level as the front left speaker. You can jog back and forth between the speakers to help you compare the volume levels.

(3) Press the cursor button again. The DTR-9.1 will now emit the pink noise from the front right speaker.

(4) Repeat steps (2) and (3) above for the front right and other speakers until all speakers are adjusted to the same volume level.

Notes:

• Speakers that you selected “No” or “None” for in the Speaker Config sub-menu will not appear.

• To accurately set the output levels, it is recommended to use a handheld sound pressure level

(SPL) meter. Set the meter to C-weighting and slow averaging. A Radio Shack ® SPL meter or equivalent is recommended. Using the internal channel noise generators, set each channel so that you read a 75 decibel sound pressure level.

This setting tells the DTR-9.1 which input source button on the front panel is connected with which digital input jack on the rear panel. To perform this setting, you must first select a digital input source at the front panel and then set the name of the digital input jack it is connected to here.

For example, if the input source selected at the front panel is CD and the compact disc player is connected to OPTICAL IN 1, then select “OPT1” here. If the input source selected is not connected to a digital input, then select “----.”

OPT1: Select if connected to DIGITAL INPUT (OPTICAL) 1.

OPT2: Select if connected to DIGITAL INPUT (OPTICAL) 2.

OPT3: Select if connected to the DIGITAL INPUT (OPTICAL) 3.

COAX1: Select if connected to DIGITAL INPUT (COAXIAL) 1.





– – – –: Select if the input source is not from a digital input jack.

b. Digital Format

The default setting is “Auto.” If “----” is selected for this input source at the Digital Input setting, then this setting will not appear. Although you can use this default setting as is, you may change it as desired depending on the input signal format (e.g., if you know that you will always be listening to a certain input signal format from a particular input source).

Input Setup

Auto: Select for automatic detection of the input signal format. The input signal format (Dolby Digital, DTS,

MPEG, PCM or Analog) used by the selected input source is detected automatically to execute the required decoding process. If no digital signal is input, the input signals to the analog input jacks will be played.

AC-3RF: Select if a LD player with an AC-3RF terminal is connected to the AC-3RF input on the DTR-9.1. AC-

3RF can only be selected if VIDEO 4 is selected as the input source.

Digital: Select for automatic detection of a digital input signal format. The input digital signal format (Dolby

Digital, DTS, MPEG, or PCM) used by the selected digital input source is detected automatically to execute the necessary decoding process.

DTS: Select for DTS signal processing. The decoding process is executed only when DTS signals are input.

PCM: Select for PCM signal processing. The decoding process is executed only when PCM signals are input.

Analog: Regardless of whether the component is also digitally connected, the audio signals input from the component through the analog input jacks are played.

Notes:

• If “Auto” or “Digital” is selected and a compact disc or LD is fast-forwarded during playback, decoded

PCM signals may produce a skipping sound. In such cases, change the setting to “PCM.”

• If a compact disc or LD encoded in the DTS format is played back with “PCM” selected, only noise will be produced. Always select “Auto,” “Digital,” or “DTS” when playing back DTS-encoded sources.

Notes on DTS:

• If you play a CD or LD that supports DTS when the

“PCM” setting is selected on the DTR-9.1, the DTS encoded signal will not be decoded and noise will be output. This noise could damage the amplifier and speakers. Therefore, be sure to selected

“Auto,” “Digital,” or “DTS” and use the digital input jacks (OPTICAL or COAXIAL) to connect the DTS source.

• If you play a CD or LD that supports DTS when the

“Auto” or “Digital” setting is selected, you may hear a noise for a short while until the DTS decoder recognizes the DTS-encoded signal and starts operating.

This is not a malfunction.

• If you press the PAUSE or SKIP button on the player while playing a DTS source, a short noise may be heard. This is not a malfunction. In such cases, try playing the source in the “DTS” selected.

• The DTS indicator on the DTR-9.1 lights while a DTS source is played. When playback finishes and the

DTS signal transmission stops, the DTR-9.1 remains in

DTS mode and the DTS indicator remains lit. This prevents noise when you operate the PAUSE or SKIP button on the player. Therefore, if the source is immediately switched from DTS to PCM, the PCM signal may not be played. In this case, stop the playback of the source on the player for about three seconds and then resume playback.

• You may not be able to play some DTS source signals from certain CD players and LD players even if you connect the player to the DTR-9.1 digitally. This is because the digital signal has been processed

(such as the output level, sampling frequency, or frequency response) and the DTR-9.1 cannot recognize the signal as DTS data. Therefore you may hear noise when you play a DTS source while processing the signal.

• The outputs for the VIDEO 1 OUT, VIDEO 2 OUT, TAPE

1 OUT, and TAPE 2 OUT output analog audio signals.

Do not record from CDs or LDs that support DTS using these outputs. If you do, the DTS-encoded signal will be recorded as noise.

2-2. Multichannel Setup sub-menu

This sub-menu will not appear if AM, FM, or PHONO is selected at the front panel for the input source. This setting is normally set to “No,” and only needs to be changed to “Yes” if a DVD player, MPEG decoder, or other component that has a multi channel port is connected to the MULTI CHANNEL INPUT port for 5.1channel or 7.1-channel audio. For example, if a DVD player is connected to the MULTI CHANNEL INPUT port, then select DVD at the front panel as the input source, bring up this sub-menu, and select “Yes” for the

Multichannel setting. When “Yes” is selected, the audio from the MULTI CHANNEL INPUT is given preference.

This setting allows you to match the audio from one component with the video from another. Therefore, you can set a video source to be displayed while the audio from another input source is heard. For example, this allows you to play the music from a compact disc, while displaying the picture from a video cassette player or other video source. Since the settings in this sub-menu are also linked to the input source that is currently selected at the front panel, a different setting can be made for each digital input source.

Input Setup

2-4. Listening Mode Preset sub-menu

With the DTR-9.1, you can set a different listening mode for each different signal type that comes from each input source and also set the parameters for the listening mode itself. For example, if your DVD player also plays compact discs and the DVD video signal is

DTS and the compact disc signal is PCM, then you can set a different listening mode for each.

This is especially convenient if you frequently play the same types of movies or music.

Note that some listening modes cannot be set for some input sources. In addition, if “Yes” is set for multi channel for the input source selected, then the listening mode cannot be set. Also, if the “----” is set for the Digital Input setting in the Digital Setup sub-menu, then you can only select “Analog/PCM.”

* The 5.1-channel digital surround format has a variety of versions including Dolby Digital, DTS, and

MPEG. The 5.1- channel digital surround format enables you to individually record and play five fullrange (20Hz-20kHz) channels (left and right front, center, two surround channels) plus an LFE channel

(Low Frequency Effect)for the low-range effect sound. It will create a realistic sound that could be heard in the theaters and concert halls.

Input Setup

Input source signals

a. Analog/PCM

Analog sources consist of LP records, AM and FM broadcasts, cassette tapes, and the such. PCM (Pulse

Code Modulation) is one form of digital audio signals and is recorded directly onto compact discs and DVDs without compression.

b. PCM fs > 48 k

Digital PCM sources that are recorded at a sampling rate of greater than 48 kilohertz. This includes compact discs and DVDs that are recorded with high quality audio.

c. PCM fs = 192 k

Digital PCM sources that are recorded at a sampling rate of greater than 192 kilohertz. This includes compact discs and DVDs that are recorded with extremely high quality audio.

d. Dolby D (Dolby Digital)

Digital data with AC-3 compression and a maximum of

5.1-channel surround sound. This source signal comes from DVDs and LDs that have the mark and therefore recorded for 5.1-channel output. This source also comes from digital satellite broadcasts that support

Dolby Digital.

Dial norm

Dialogue Normalization (Dial Norm) is feature of

Dolby Digital. When playing back software that has been encoded in Dolby Digital, sometimes you may see a brief message in the front panel display that read Dial Norm xdB (“x” being a numeric value).

Dialogue Normalization serves to let you know if the source material has been recorded at a higher or lower level than usual. For example, if you see the message “Dial Norm: +4” in the front panel display, to keep the overall output level constant just turn down the volume control by 4dB. In other words, the source material that you are listening to has been recorded 4dB louder than usual. If you do not see a message, then no adjustment of the volume control is necessary.

DOLBY DIGIT AL e. DTS

DTS (Digital Theater System) is compressed digital data with a maximum 5.1-channel surround output that allows for an extremely high-quality sound. This source signal requires a DVD player that supports DTS output and comes from compact discs, DVDs, and

LDs that have the mark.

f. MPEG

Digital data with a maximum of 5.1-channel surround audio with MPEG compression. This source signal comes from DVDs that have the mark.

g. D.F. 2 ch

This corresponds to 2-channel digital format sources.

This signal source comes from LDs, DVDs, and other digital sources that are recorded with 2-channel audio.

h. D.F. Mono

This corresponds to monaural digital format sources.

This signal source comes from LDs, DVDs, and other digital sources that are recorded with monaural audio.

Listening Modes

Mono

This mode is for listening to the left and right channels separately. This mode also allows you to listen to the multiplexed soundtracks on DVDs, and other media that have them.

Stereo

This mode has all input sound is output from the left and right front speakers.

Direct

This mode delivers pure sound with minimum sound quality adjustment and filtration. The sound recorded for the right and left front channels is output to the right and left front speakers only and not output to the subwoofer.

Dolby D (Dolby Digital)

This mode is for listening to sources encoded with Dolby

Digital in their plain format.

DTS

This mode is for listening to music DTS sources in their plain format.

DTS Film

This mode is for listening to cinema DTS sources in their plain format.

MPEG

This mode is for listening to music MPEG sources in their plain format.

MPEG Film

This mode is for listening to cinema MPEG sources in their plain format.

THX (THX Cinema)

Movies that have been encoded in Dolby Digital, DTS,

MPEG, and Dolby Pro Logic can all benefit by activating the THX mode. THX should be activated only when watching movies that were mixed for playback in large movie theater environments. THX need not be activated for music, for movies that were made especially for television, or for shows such as sports programming, talk shows, and the like. This is because they were mixed in a small room environment.

For best results, use a THX certified speaker system.

• How to enjoy THX Surround EX

When the THX listening mode is selected, you can press the THX button on the remote controller to cycle through the settings “Auto,” “On,” and “Off.”

When “Auto” is selected, if a Surround EX encoded source is input, it is automatically played in the THX

Surround EX mode. When “On” is selected, all surround EX encoded sources and THX Surround EX playable sources (i.e., DTS-ES encoded sources) are played in the THX Surround EX mode. If the sound does not feel correct, set this to “Off.”

If “On” is selected and a source that cannot be played in the THX Surround EX mode, “THXCinema” appears in the front display. If “Off” is selected, the listening mode becomes THX Cinema.

Input Setup

Note:

THX Surround EX can only be selected if the surround back speakers are connected.

THX Surround EX

“THX Surround EX - Dolby Digital Surround EX” is a joint development of Dolby Laboratories and the THX division of Lucasfilm Ltd.

In a movie theater, film soundtracks that have been encoded with Dolby Digital Surround EX technology are able to reproduce an extra channel which has been added during the mixing of the program. This channel, called Surround Back, places sounds behind the listener in addition to the currently available front left, front center, front right, surround right, surround left, and subwoofer channels.

This additional channel provides the opportunity for more detailed imaging behind the listener and brings more depth, spacious ambience and sound localization than ever before.

When released to the home consumer market, movies that were created using the Dolby Digital Surround EX technology, may have a note to that effect on the packaging. A list of movies created using this technology can be found on the Dolby web site at http:// www.dolby.com <http://www.dolby.com> .

Only receiver and controller products bearing the

THX Surround EX logo, when in the THX Surround EX mode, faithfully reproduce this new technology in the home.

This product may also engage the “THX Surround EX” mode during the playback of 5.1 channel material that is not Dolby Digital Surround EX encoded. In such case the information delivered to the Surround Back channel will be program dependent and may or may not be very pleasing depending on the particular soundtrack and the tastes of the individual listener.

Action

This mode is designed for movie soundtracks that stress special effect sounds and surround effects. In addition to strengthening the low frequency ranges for the front left, front right, and surround speakers, it also increases the surround levels. Resonance is also cut for a movietheater feeling and increased enjoyment.

Musical

This mode is designed for watching musicals and movie soundtracks where importance is placed on the music.

By slightly increasing the mid to high frequency ranges from the center speaker, the vocals from the screen seem highlighted for added listening pleasure. This mode is optimum for playing software that stresses music, environmental sounds, and the front image.

Pro Logic/3 Stereo (Dolby Pro Logic/3 Stereo)

This mode is for listening to recordings with Dolby surround, which consists of four channels (left, right, center, and monaural surround) and emphasizes the center channel. Dolby Pro Logic is very effective for panning music, conversation, and three-dimensional sound movement output from the three front channels.

It also simulates the atmosphere and surround effects of the sound reflected from the side and rear walls of the theater. Select this listening mode when you play a

VHS, VHS hi-fi, LD, or DVD video that has the mark.

If no surround speakers are connected, then the surround sound is divided and output from the front left and right channels.(3 Stereo)

Pro Logic THX (Dolby Pro Logic THX)

This mode is the same as the Dolby Pro Logic listening mode with the THX effects added as well. Select this mode when listening to movies that were encoded using Dolby Pro Logic.

Pro Logic Action (Dolby Pro Logic Action)

When listening to movies using the Dolby Pro Logic, this mode allows you to further enhance the cinematic quality by adding processing that emphasizes the sounds of the action special effects.

Pro Logic Musical (Dolby Pro Logic Musical)

When listening to music using the Dolby Pro Logic, this mode allows you to further enhance the sound quality by adding processing that emphasizes the musical effects.

Mono Movie

This mode is suitable for playing back monaural recording such as old movie soundtracks. The center channel delivers the unprocessed original sound, whereas the other channels deliver the center-channel sound processed with the appropriate reverberation. This allows you to enjoy monaural sound with the atmosphere of a movie theater.

T-D (Theater-Dimensional)

For the best enjoyment of your home theater, it is recommended that you have at least front left and right speakers, a center speaker, and surround left and right speakers. However, if you do only have front left and right speakers, you can enjoy multichannel audio by using this mode.

This mode controls the characteristics of the sound that reaches each ear to reproduce a multi-speaker setup.

To receive the full effect, there is an optimum listening position (sweet spot). Refer to the explanation of the listening angle. In addition, if the reflective sound components are large, it may be difficult to achieve the desired result, so be sure to set up your system and listening position to minimize reflective sound.

Enhanced 7

Enhanced 7 intends to reproduce a natural surround environment by using 7-channel speakers. The sound effects moving smoothly toward the surround back.

This mode is good for music and TV sports programs.

Orchestra

This mode is appropriate for classical and opera music.

The center channel is cut and the surround channels are emphasized to widen the stereo image. It will simulate the natural reverberation that is created in large halls.

TV Logic

This mode gives realistic acoustics to TV programs that are aired from TV studios. It enhances the entire surround sound and clarity of the conversation.

Unplugged

This mode is suitable for acoustical instrumental sounds, vocals, and jazz music. By emphasizing the front stereo image, it will simulate the acoustics that you would experience in front of the stage.

Studio-Mix

This mode is for rock and popular music. The lively sounds are enhanced for a powerful acoustic image that simulates the feeling of being in a club or rock concert.

All Ch Stereo

This mode is designed for playing background music.

The front, surround, and surround back channels create a stereo image that encompasses the entire area.

If a digital signal processor is connected, there may be times when the audio and video from a DVD or LD player is not output in perfect sync. The result is where the sound and picture do not match and the sound is heard too early. In such a case, use this setting to properly synchronize the audio and video. This setting can be set between 0 to 30 ms in 0.5-ms increments. Under normal circumstances, this can left at 0 ms. For input sources using the multi channel port, this setting will not appear.

b. Relative Delay

Besides level and delay adjustments, the DTR-9.1

provides the ability to change or adjust the relative speaker position to fine tune the soundfield for the listener. This is accomplished using Integra’s unique

Enhanced Spatial Positioning Algorithm. This adjustment provides 10 milliseconds of delay for the speakers, which is equivalent to moving the speaker 10 feet away. This adjustment is set up to provide -4 or +6 milliseconds (-4 or +6 feet) of adjustment to the listener’s position.

Once the coarse adjustments-speaker level and distance adjustments-are made, the system is set up to provide a typical or broad surround environment. By adjusting the relative position of the speakers, we are able to alter the soundfield to be more spread out

(deeper) or focused (shallower).

a. Bass

Press the cursor button to decrease the bass sounds and press the cursor button to increase the bass sounds. The bass can be adjusted between -12 and +12 decibels in two steps.

When switching input sources, you may find that the output level for different components or input sources connected to the DTR-9.1 is different even though the main volume setting is the same. Under normal circumstances, you would then have to change the volume setting each time you change the input source. This

IntelliVolume setting allows you to preset a volume level for each input source separately so that when you do switch from one input source to another, the DTR-9.1

adjusts the volume accordingly so that the resulting volume stays the same. To set the IntelliVolume, simply select an input source at the front panel, and if that source is quieter than other sources, increase its decibel level with the cursor button, or if it is louder than other sources, decrease its decibel level with the cursor button.

The intelli volume can be adjusted between -12 and

Description listening mode parameters

Subwoofer

Set this to “Off” if you are not using a subwoofer (even if one is connected). If “No” is selected for the Subwoofer setting in the Speaker Config sub-menu, then this setting will not appear.

Re-EQ/Academy

Depending on the listening mode, you can either turn

Re-EQ on or off, or you can select “Re-EQ,” “Academy,” or “Off.”

Re-EQ: Re-EQ (re-equalization) takes the edginess or “brightness” out of your home cinema sound to compensate for the fact that sound mixed for theaters may sound too bright when played back through speakers in the home environment.

Academy: Older monaural film mixes relied on highfrequency rolloff in presentation to sound properly balanced, so that excessive hiss from the grain structure of the film would not be heard. The highfrequency loss was typically due to a combination of optical slit loss, electrical filters, loudspeaker response, and screen loss. Some films have been transferred to video without such a high-frequency rolloff, and thus sound overly bright and hissy. The

DTR-9.1 includes this “Academy filter,” which is based on contemporary playback practices for such films over wide-range systems.

On: Select to turn on the Re-EQ.

Off: Select to turn off both the re-equalization and

Academy filters.

Input Channel

This allows you to set which input channel to use for monaural sound.

Auto L+R: Select this under normal circumstances for output from both the left and right speakers.

Left/Right: You will need to select either left or right when playing a video source that contains bilingual data. In such a case, the left and right channels will contain different language. Select the channel with the language you desire.

Output Channel

This allows you to set which output channel to use for monaural sound. If “None” is selected for the Center

Speaker setting in the Speaker Config sub-menu, then this setting will not appear.

L+R: The monaural sound is split between the left and right channels.

Center: The monaural sound is output from the front center channel.

Digital Upsampling

Digital upsampling processes the input digital signal and converts its digital sampling frequency to twice the current frequency for an even further detailed sound reproduction. This can be set to either “On” or “Off.”

Surround Speakers

This setting allows you to decide through which speakers to output the sound meant for the surround speakers during 5.1-channel output when seven speakers are connected to the DTR-9.1.

Surround L/R: This outputs the sound to the surround left and right speakers as normal and outputs nothing to the surround back left and right speakers.

Surround Back: This outputs the sound to the surround back left and right speakers and outputs nothing to the surround left and right speakers.

Sur L/R+Back: This outputs the sound to both the surround left and right speakers and the surround back left and right speakers.

Front Effect

Some live recordings contain acoustic reverberation.

When you play these sources, more reverberation will be applied by the DSP, creating too much reverb effects and the sound loses frame or presence. In this case, set this setting to “Off.” No reverberation from the

DSP will be applied to the sound output from the three front channels, so the sound source is be played as it is without any further reverberation.

Reflect Lvl

This parameter allows you to adjust the strength of direct sound reflections to match the playback source material, the acoustics of your room, and such other factors. This can be set between -5 and +5 decibels in

1-decibel increments.

Reverb Lvl

This parameter allows you to adjust the depth of acoustic reverberation to match the playback source material, the acoustics of your room, and such other factors.

This can be set between -5 and +5 decibels in 1-decibel increments.

Room Size

This parameter allows you set virtual hall size to simulate for each surround mode. You can choose from

“Large,” “Mid-Large,” “Middle,” “Mid-Small,” or

“Small.”

Listening angle

The listening angle is the angle subtended by the front left and right speakers as seen from the listener. The setting of 20 and 40 degrees are only for nominal purposes, so select the setting that is closest to your actual listening angle.

Front left speaker Front right speaker

Listening angle

20˚ - 40˚


Center

For systems that have a center speaker, the center channel signal can be output from the center speaker.

For instance, in systems where the front left and right speakers are small, use of the center speaker may provide a better sound space. (If your system uses a center speaker, be sure to perform the level calibration with the left and right speakers in the Speaker Setup menu beforehand.)

On: The center channel signal is output to the center speaker.

You can choose from two ways of displaying the volume setting on screen.

Absolute: This displays the volume with a minimum of min (0) for no sound and a maximum of max

(100). As a reference, the volume setting of Ref (82) is used as the 0 -decibel for the relative display method.

Relative: This displays the volume as a decibel value on a scale with a designated reference point that is displayed as 0, which equals the volume setting of

82 for the absolute display method. With this display method, the minimum value is - , the next highest is

-81, and the maximum value is +18.

b. Muting Level

This sets the attenuation level during playback when the Muting button is pressed on the remote controller.

This can be set between - , -50 and -10 decibels in 10decibel increments.

c. Maximum Volume

This sets a maximum limit for the master volume to reduce the chance of any components becoming damaged from accidental increases to the volume. For the absolute volume display method, this can be set between 50 and 90. For the relative volume display method, this can be set between -32 and +17 decibels.

d. Power On Volume

This sets a designated volume setting for the DTR-9.1 to be set every time that the power is turned on. This prevents the DTR-9.1 from being turned on while it is set to an extremely high volume and suddenly output very loud sounds. For the absolute volume display method, this can be set between 0 and 99. For the relative volume display method, this can be set between - and

+18 decibels. If you do not mind having the DTR-9.1

turned on with its current volume setting, set this to “Last

Valid.”

Note:

The relationship between the OSD menu for the main zone and remote zone (Zone 2)

The DTR-9.1 cannot output the OSD menu for both the main and remote zones simultaneously. For example, if an input source with no image is selected at the main zone (only the background color is displayed on the television screen) and the Zone 2 input source is changed, then the display at the main zone changes from the background color to a display with no image and the display at Zone 2 changes to the OSD menu

(Immediate Display). This is not a malfunction. To prevent this, change the c. Immediate Display setting for the 5-1. OSD Setup sub-menu to “OFF.”

The default setting for the c. Immediate Display setting of the 5-1. OSD Setup sub-menu is “OFF.”

The indicator above the CD input source button lights red. Now “CD” has been selected as the audio input source and “VIDEO 5” as the video input source.

Notes:

• Be aware that the remote (Zone 2) and recording

(Rec Out) outputs use the same circuit and therefore can be used at the same time.


• Digital signals input to the DIGITAL INPUT (COAXIAL) and DIGITAL INPUT (OPTICAL) inputs will be output to the DIGITAL OUTPUT (COAXIAL) and DIGITAL OUTPUT

(OPTICAL) outputs.

• There are some restrictions on recording digital signals. When making digital recordings, consult the instruction manual that came with your digital recording equipment (e.g., MD recorder or DAT deck) to know what restrictions are imposed.

• You cannot record the source connected to the

MULTI CHANNEL INPUT connector.

INPUT DIGITAL

Using remote controller

Overview

The RC-418M remote controller is a useful tool to help you operate the components of your home theater. To do so, first press the MODE button that corresponds to the device you wish to control. At this time, the display on the remote controller will change to show the component that is selected. Then simply press the desired operation button and the component will operate accordingly. For example, if you wish to select the CD input source at the DTR-9.1 with the remote controller, first press the AUDIO/TAPE MODE button to select the

DTR-9.1 (“AUDIO” will appear on the display) and then press the CD (INPUT SELECTOR) button.

Re-EQ: Depending on the listening mode, you can either turn the cinema re-equalization function on or off, or you can select “Re-EQ,” “Academy,” or “Off”

• The re-equalization function takes the edginess or “brightness” out of your home cinema sound to compensate for the fact that sound mixed for theaters may sound too bright when played back through speakers in the home environment.

LATE NIGHT: Sets “High,” “Low,” or “Off” for the late night function

• Cinema sound has a vast dynamic range; therefore, to hear the quieter sounds such as human conversations, they must be played back at larger volumes. When this parameter is set to

“High” or “Low,” the dynamic range of the sound is narrowed down to allow you to easily hear minute sounds at low volumes. This function is especially useful if you wish to play a movie at low volumes during the nighttime.

Notes:

• The depth of the Late Night effect is determained by Dolby Digital software. Some sounds may produce no or little effect.

• The Late Night function is effective only on Dolby

Digital encoded software.

Programming procedure

When programming the commands of another remote controller to the RC-418M remote controller, you must first decide under which MODE button you want the commands to be linked. In general, you will select the

MODE button that corresponds to the component you are programming. For example, if you are programming the functions from a remote controller for a compact disc player, you would choose the CD

MODE button. Then, by pressing the CD MODE button, the buttons on the RC-418M remote controller will change to the commands you program here to operate the compact disc player.

After programming which MODE button to use, you will then transfer the separate commands from the other remote controller over to the RC-418M remote controller one at a time. Each command is then programmed to a different button on the RC-418M remote controller.

Any button is programmable for this step except for the eight MODE buttons (AUDIO, CD, DVD, MD, SAT, CABLE,

VCR, and TV), the two MACRO buttons (DIRECT and

MODE), and the LIGHT button.

Even after the commands have been memorized, keep your old remote controller in a safe place. If for some reason the commands are lost (e.g., when the batteries run down), it will be necessary to memorize them once again.

1. Place the remote controller and the remote controller for the other device facing each other at a distance of 5 to 15 cm (2 to 6 inches) apart.

2. While pressing and holding down the desired

MODE button on the remote controller, press the ENT button and then release both buttons.

When you press and hold down the MODE button, the SEND/LEARN indicator lights. When you press the

ENT button, the lamp turns off. When you release the buttons, the lamp lights again and “LEARN” appears in the display.

3. Press and release the button on the remote controller to which you want to transfer the next command.

You may select any button but the eleven ones indicated in the figure below. When you press the button, “RCV” appears in the display and the SEND/

LEARN indicator turns off. When you release the button, the indicator lights again.

If you press the wrong button by mistake, press that same button again. The SEND/LEARN indicator flashes twice, “CLEAR” appears in the display, and the remote controller exits the programming mode.

4. Press and hold down the button (that corresponds to the command you are programming) on the remote controller of the other device until the SEND/LEARN lamp on the remote controller flashes twice and

“SAVED” appears in the display.

After flashing twice, the SEND/LEARN indicator will light again and “LEARN” appears in the display.

5. Repeat Steps 3 and 4 to transfer all the commands you desire from the other remote controller and program them to buttons on the remote controller under the same MODE.

Repeat Steps 2 through 4 to program commands to a different MODE (e.g., when programming from a different remote controller).

6. Press the MODE button that you pressed in step 2 to complete the programming.

7. Operate the newly programmed buttons to make sure the learning function was performed properly.

Notes:

• The remote controller codes for Integra compact disc players, cassette tape decks, DVD players, and mini disc recorder have already been programmed into buttons on the remote controller. You may, however, use these buttons to program the codes for other remote controllers. If you wish to restore the

Integra preset codes after you program new codes, you must first erase the new codes (see page 63).

• The remote controller has 408 memory slots (8 modes x 51 buttons). Some remote controllers may have more commands that can be remembered by the remote controller. In such cases, it will be necessary for you to determine which commands are more important than others.

• If no button is pressed for more than 30 seconds during the programming, or if you perform an invalid operation during programming, the SEND/LEARN indicator flashes three times quickly, “ERROR” appears in the display, and the remote controller exits the programming mode. Resume from Step 2.

• If a failure occurs during programming, the SEND/

LEARN indicator flashes three times quickly, “NG” appears in the display, and the remote controller exits the programming mode. Resume from Step 3.

• If a failure occurs five times in row during programming, “ERROR” appears in the display, and the remote controller exits the programming mode. Resume from Step 3.

• If you try to program beyond the learning capacity of the remote controller, the SEND/LEARN indicator flashes six times quickly, “FULL” appears in the display, and the remote controller exits the programming mode. Try programming under a different

MODE button.

• When you want to program a command to a button to which you have already programmed a command, simply follow the same procedure given and programming for that button will be overwritten.

• The remote controller uses infrared rays to send its commands, as do most other remote controllers.

Though most remote controller codes can be memorized by the remote controller, be aware that some remote controllers use a system that is quite different from the remote controller and therefore may not be able to be programmed.

• Some remote controllers have a single button that performs multiple functions (for example, the function may change each time the button is pressed). If this is the case, each function must be programmed to a separate button on the remote controller.

• Once you have transferred the commands from the other remote controller, refer to the instruction manual that came with that product for instructions on how to operate that product.

• Make sure both the remote controller and the other remote controller have new batteries. If either of them has batteries that are low, you may not be able to program the commands of the other remote controller properly into the remote controller.

See page 63 for how to erase the memorized commands from all buttons.

Tips:

• If you erase or change the command of a button programmed in a macro, that operation of that button will no longer work in the macro. In this case, it will be necessary for you to reprogram the macro in order to avoid incorrect operation.

• The codes programmed into a macro will be transmitted at an interval of 0.5 seconds. However, some devices may not be able to complete one operation in 0.5 seconds and may miss the next code. In this case, after pressing one operation button, you can press the same MODE button again before pressing the next operation button to add another

0.5 seconds between the two operations.

Programming a Macro function

You can program a different macro into the MODE

MACRO button for each of the eight MODE buttons.

The macro is then executed by pressing the appropriate MODE button and then pressing the MODE

MACRO button. For example, to program the macro described above into the CD MODE button, perform the steps given below.

1. Press and hold down the desired MODE button

(in this case, the CD MODE button), press the

MODE MACRO button, and then release both buttons.

When you press the MODE CD button, the SEND/

LEARN indicator lights and “CD” appears in the display. When you press the MODE MACRO button, the indicator turns off. When you release the buttons, the indicator flashes and lights again and “M 01” appears in the display.

2. Press the operation buttons you wish to program in order (in this case, press AUDIO/

TAPE MODE → POWER ON → CD (INPUT

SELECTOR) → CD MODE → playback button).

When you press each button, the SEND/LEARN indicator turns off and the display changes from “M 01”

→ “M 02” → “M 03” → etc. When you release the button, the indicator lights.

3. Press the MODE MACRO button to complete the programming.

The SEND/LEARN indicator flashes twice slowly and

“SAVED” appears in the display.

4. Run the macro to check to see if the macro has been properly programmed.

Notes:

• You may program up to 16 button operations into each macro function. If you try to program a 17th operation, it will be ignored, “SAVED” appears in the display, and programming is stopped.



Running a Macro function

Perform the procedure below to run a macro function that you have programmed into the remote controller.

After programming a macro, you should always run it at least once to make sure that it has been programmed properly.

1. Point the remote controller at the DTR-9.1 and press the CD MODE button.

2. Press the MODE MACRO, and verify that the devices operate properly.

It may take a while for the macro to finish transmitting, so be sure to continue pointing the remote controller at the device until the SEND/LEARN indicator turns off.

Tips:

• If you erase or change the command of a button programmed in the direct macro, that operation of that button will no longer work in the macro. In this case, it will be necessary for you to reprogram the direct macro in order to avoid incorrect operation.

• The codes programmed into a direct macro will be transmitted at an interval of 0.5 seconds. However, some devices may not be able to complete one operation in 0.5 seconds and may miss the next code. In this case, after pressing one operation button, you can press the same MODE button again before pressing the next operation button to add another 0.5 seconds between the two operations.

Programming the Direct Macro function

With the direct macro function, you can program a series of button operations as a macro into the DIRECT MACRO button so the macro can be executed with just one touch. Note that for the direct macro function, only one macro can be programmed. For example, to program the macro described on the previous page for the DIRECT

MACRO button, perform the steps given below.

1. Press and hold down any one of the eight

MODE buttons, press the DIRECT MACRO button, and then release both buttons.

When you press the MODE button, the SEND/LEARN indicator lights and that mode appears in the display. When you press the DIRECT MACRO button, the indicator turns off. When you release the buttons, the indicator flashes briefly and then lights again and “M 01” appears in the display.

Features

■ THX Ultra2

The new THX Ultra2 standard from Lucasfilm ensures the highest sound and picture quality and the most reliable operation. The THX Ultra2 adds the THX Ultra2

Cinema mode and THX MusicMode to the conventional THX Cinema mode to create the optimum sound space for both music and movies.

THX Ultra2 Cinema: When performing 7.1 ch playback of Dolby Digital, DTS, or other 5.1 ch movie sources,

THX Ultra2 Cinema analyzes the surround components to create surround back channels for the optimum ambient and directional surround sound. This new THX

Ultra2 mode provides a wider sound space to the sides and rear and a heightened feeling of the sound positioning.

THX MusicMode: This is a new mode provided with THX

Ultra2 and meant for the playback of music software sources. THX MusicMode converts 5.1 ch multichannel music sources to 7.1 ch playback with a virtual rear sound from the surround speakers and surround back speakers. The rear sound space is created with the consistency and spaciousness optimum for music playback.

■ DTS 96/24

The upgraded unit is equipped with the newest audio format DTS 96/24 decoder developed by DTS. It is the world’s first 96-kHz/24-bit-compatible compression audio format standard for 96-kHz/24-bit, 5.1 ch, highquality multi-channel playback.

■ DTS-ES Extended Surround Decoder

• DTS-ES Discrete 6.1

This is a new format that all 6.1 ch including added surround back channels are recorded discretely in digital. Because all channels are recorded separately, you can enjoy surround sound with higher separation.

• DTS-ES Matrix 6.1

In this format, sound for added surround back channels is inserted respectively into left and right surround channels with matrix-encoded, and when playing the high precision matrix decoder decodes the inserted sound for surround back channels.

■ DTS Neo:6

This mode uses a high precision matrix decoder to play 2ch sound as 6.1ch sound. Full-band (frequency response: 20 Hz to 20 kHz) playback is available for all 6 channels and you can feel the channel separation of digital discrete level. In addition, you can choose a playback mode from Cinema (for movies) and Music

(for music) depending on the source you want to play.

■ Dolby* Digital EX

Dolby Digital Surround EX takes a Dolby Digital 5.1 ch movie surround track and adds a third surround channel for output through a speaker placed behind the viewers. Even though it is hard to create the sound space behind those sitting at the ends of rows in movie theaters, by creating this independent surround channel behind the viewer and adding it to the existing left and right surround channels, the heightened feeling of presence essentially draws you into the scene. The information for the added rear channel is encoded into the left and right surround channels of normal 5.1 Dolby Digital surround tracks.

Movie theaters equipped with the Dolby Digital

Surround EX decoder can extract the information for the third surround channel. When movies shown using

Dolby Digital Surround EX are released on DVDs or 5.1

ch digital television broadcasts as well, the information for the third surround channel is encoded within. With the Dolby Digital EX decoder in your home theater, you can extract the third surround channel and experience the movie with the surround back channel for the sound space that the producer of the movie desired. Just as it is at movie theaters, there is no loss of audio quality or data with the normal 5.1 ch

Dolby Digital playback.

■ Dolby* Pro LogicⅡdecoder

This is a surround decoding method which the Dolby

Laboratories Inc. suggests. This method uses feedback logic circuits to restore the signal that is matrixencoded to 2 channel, enabling 5.1 ch playback with maintaining separation as high as Dolby Digital. In this mode, either analog or digital signal can be decoded. There are two modes for Dolby Pro Logic Ⅱ

: Movie and Music. The Movie mode is optimized for playing movies. You can play the dubbed speech recorded in Dolby surround and enjoy the videos with

2 ch sound like old movies in 5.1 ch playback full of live presence. The Music mode will provide more sound space and clearer 3D sound image localization.

Since the new playback formats above are added, the former listening modes such as DTS Film, MPEG Film,

Action and Musical are organized into new listening modes. After this, some setup parameters are also updated.

In addition, the following functions are upgraded.

■ Crossover Adjustment

The crossover adjustment enables you to adjust the bass range for the subwoofer according to the sizes of your other speakers.

■ 96 kHz/24 bit upsampling for analog sound

Analog sound signals from VCRs and other sources can now be treated as digital signals and processed with 96 kHz upsampling and 24 bit quantization. This enables more accurate sound playback.

■ Extension of A/V Sync function

You can set the A/V Sync function parameters in the range of 0 to 120 ms.

Speaker configuration and placement/


Speaker placement

Ideal speaker placement varies depending on the size of your room and the wall coverings. Here, only typical example of speaker placement and recommendations are shown.

Important points regarding speaker placement

Front left and right speakers and center speaker

• Place these three speakers at the same height from the floor.

• Place each speaker so that sound is aimed at the location of the listener’s ears when at the listening position.

• Place the front left and right speakers the same distance from the listening position.

Surround left and right speakers

• Place these speakers so that their height is 1 meter (3 feet) higher than that of the listener’s ears.

Surround back left and right speakers

• For maximum effect of the new THX Ultra2 feature, place these two speakers as close together as possible. Dipolar speakers, however, should be placed apart the required amount (below right).

• Place these speakers so that their height is 1 meter (3 feet) higher than that of the listener’s ears.

Subwoofer

A subwoofer is recommended for the highest bass effect.

Advanced Speaker Array: When you set up your home theater system using all eight speaker outputs (Left,

Center, Right, Surround Right, Surround Back Right,

Surround Back Left, Surround Left and Subwoofer) and the two Surround Back speakers are placed close together as shown in the speaker placement diagrams on page 3, you can take advantage of THX’s Advanced

Speaker Array (ASA) technology. ASA optimizes the surround sound experience using two new modes; THX

Ultra2 Cinema and THX MusicMode.

a. THX Ultra2 Subwoofer

Set “Yes” if your subwoofer conforms to the THX Ultra2 standard or if the playback capability of its bass range extends down to 20 Hz. Otherwise, set “No.” b. Boundary Gain Compensation

Room boundaries (walls) or other characteristics (such as wall construction) may increase the perceived acoustics levels at low frequencies. Depending on the listener's and the subwoofer's position, the listener may experience an excessive bass effect.

The purpose of this feature is to compensate for excessive bass resulting from a boundary gain effect.

ON: Boundary Gain Compensation is applied.

OFF: Boundary Gain Compensation is not applied.

c. Distance between Surr Back Sp

Measure the distance between your two surround back speakers and then choose the setting that corresponds to your measurement: “0-30 cm (0-12 inch),” “>30-122 cm

(>12-48 inch),” or “>122 cm (>48 inch)”. For optimum ASA effect, the surround back speakers should be placed as close together as possible.

a. Dolby Digital

The level can be adjusted to either – ∞ or between –10 and 0 decibels in 1-decibel increments. For Dolby Digital input source signals, the LFE level becomes that set here.

A setting of 0 decibels is recommended for optimum performance; however, if the low frequency range is too strong, lower this setting as necessary.

b. DTS

The level can be adjusted to either – ∞ or between –10 and 0 decibels in 1-decibel increments. For DTS input source signals, the LFE level becomes that set here. A setting of 0 decibels is recommended for optimum performance; however, if the low frequency range is too strong, lower this setting as necessary.

c. MPEG Multi

The level can be adjusted to either – ∞ or between –10 and 0 decibels in 1-decibel increments. For MPEG input source signals, the LFE level becomes that set here. A setting of 0 decibels is recommended for optimum performance; however, if the low frequency range is too strong, lower this setting as necessary.

b. Digital Format

The default setting is “All.” If “----” is selected for this input source at the Digital Input setting, then this setting will not appear. Although you can use this default setting as is, you may change it as desired depending on the input signal format (e.g., if you know that you will always be listening to a certain input signal format from a particular input source).

All: Detects input signal format automatically. The

Dolby Digital, DTS, MPEG Multi, and PCM signals are automatically detected and decoded appropriately.

If there are no digital input signal, the input signal coming into analog input jack will be played.

AC-3RF: Select this option when you play only AC-3RF signal which comes from AC-3RF output jack on a LD player to the AC-3RF input jack on you unit. When using this option, signals from other input jack will not be played. This option can be selected when you select the VIDEO 4 for input source.

DTS: Select this option when you only decode DTS signal. Other format signals will not be played.

PCM: Select this option when you only decode PCM signal. Other format signals will not be played.

With the this unit, you can set a different listening mode for each different signal format that comes from each input source and also set the parameters for the listening mode itself. For example, if your DVD player also plays compact discs and the DVD video signal is DTS and the compact disc signal is PCM, then you can set a different listening mode for each.

This is especially convenient if you frequently play the same types of movies or music.

Note that some listening modes cannot be set for some input sources. In addition, if “multi channel” is set for the input source selected, then the listening mode cannot be set. Also, if the “----” is set for the Digital Input setting in the

Digital Setup sub-menu, then you can only select

“Analog/PCM.”

Note:

If “All” is selected and a compact disc or LD is fastforwarded during playback, decoded PCM signals may produce a skipping sound. In such cases, change the setting to “PCM.”

Notes on DTS:

• If you play a CD or LD that supports DTS when the “PCM” setting is selected on the this unit, the DTS encoded signal will not be decoded and noise will be output. This noise could damage the amplifier and speakers. Therefore, be sure to selected “All” or “DTS” and use the digital input jacks (OPTICAL or COAXIAL) to connect the DTS source.

• If you play a CD or LD that supports DTS when the “All” setting is selected, you may hear a noise for a short while until the DTS decoder recognizes the DTS-encoded signal and starts operating. This is not a malfunction.

• If you press the “pause” or “skip” button on the player while playing a DTS source, a short noise may be heard. This is not a malfunction. In such cases, try playing the source in the “DTS” selected.

• The DTS indicator on this unit lights while a DTS source is played. When playback finishes and the DTS signal transmission stops, this unit remains in DTS mode and the

DTS indicator remains lit. This prevents noise when you operate the “pause” or “skip” button on the player.

Therefore, if the source is immediately switched from

DTS to PCM, the PCM signal may not be played. In this case, stop the playback of the source on the player for about three seconds and then resume playback.

• You may not be able to play some DTS source signals from certain CD players and LD players even if you connect the player to this unit digitally. This is because the digital signal has been processed (such as the output level, sampling frequency, or frequency response) and this unit cannot recognize the signal as

DTS data. Therefore you may hear noise when you play a DTS source while processing the signal.

• The outputs for the VIDEO 1 OUT, VIDEO 2 OUT, TAPE 1

OUT, and TAPE 2 OUT output analog audio signals. Do not record from CDs or LDs that support DTS using these outputs. If you do, the DTS-encoded signal will be recorded as noise.

Input Setup

Input source signals

a. Analog/PCM

Analog sources consist of LP records, FM and AM broadcasts, cassette tapes, and the such. PCM (Pulse

Code Modulation) is one form of digital audio signals and is recorded directly onto compact discs and DVDs without compression.

b. PCM fs > 48 k

Digital PCM sources that are recorded at a sampling rate of greater than 48 kilohertz. This includes DVDs that are recorded with high quality audio.

c. PCM fs = 192 k

Digital PCM sources that are recorded at a sampling rate of 192 kilohertz. This includes DVDs that are recorded with extremely high quality audio.

d. Dolby D (Dolby Digital)

Digital data with AC-3 compression and a maximum of

5.1-channel surround sound. This source signal comes from DVDs and LDs that have the mark and therefore recorded for 5.1-channel output.

Dial norm

Dialogue Normalization (Dial Norm) is feature of Dolby

Digital. When playing back software that has been encoded in Dolby Digital, sometimes you may see a brief message in the front panel display that read Dial

Norm xdB (“x” being a numeric value). Dialogue

Normalization serves to let you know if the source material has been recorded at a higher or lower level than usual. For example, if you see the message “Dial

Norm: +4” in the front panel display, to keep the overall output level constant just turn down the volume control by 4 dB. In other words, the source material that you are listening to has been recorded 4 dB louder than usual. If you do not see a message, then no adjustment of the volume control is necessary.

DOLBY DIGIT AL e. DTS

DTS (Digital Theater System) is compressed digital data with a maximum 6.1-channel surround output that allows for an extremely high-quality sound. This source signal requires a DVD player that supports DTS output and comes from DVDs, compact discs, and LDs that have the

mark.

f. MPEG Multi

Digital data with a maximum of 5.1-channel surround audio with MPEG compression. This source signal comes from DVDs that have the mark.

g. D.F. 2 ch (Digital Format 2 channel)

2 channel digital signal (except for PCM) such as Dolby

Digital. DVD or LD in which the 2 channel sound are recorded may be this type of input signal.

h. D.F. Mono (Digital Format Monaural)

Monaural digital signal (except for PCM) such as Dolby

Digital. DVD or LD in which the monaural sound are recorded may be this type of input signal.

Listening Modes

Mono

This mode is for playing old movies whose sound is recorded in monaural or playing left and right channels separately in the movies which contains the different language signals recorded into individual channels. This mode also allows you to listen to the multiplexed soundtracks on DVDs, and other media that have them.

Direct

This mode delivers pure sound with minimum sound quality adjustment and filtration. The sound recorded for the right and left front channels is output to the right and left front speakers only and not output to the subwoofer.

Stereo

This mode has all input sound is output from the left and right front speakers.

Subwoofer also can be used for playback.

T-D (Theater-Dimensional)

For the best enjoyment of your home theater, it is recommended that you have at least front left and right speakers, a center speaker, and surround left and right speakers. However, if you only have front left and right speakers, you can enjoy multichannel audio by using this mode.

This mode controls the characteristics of the sound that reaches each ear to reproduce a multi-speaker setup. To receive the full effect, there is an optimum listening position (sweet spot). Refer to the explanation of the listening angle. In addition, if the reflective sound components are large, it may be difficult to achieve the desired result, so be sure to set up your system and listening position to minimize reflective sound.

Dolby D (Dolby Digital)

The Dolby D mode is used to play Dolby Digital sources.

• Dolby Digital EX

Enabled when playing back sources with surround tracks that were encoded using the Surround EX technology.

• Dolby EX

Select to achieve the same effects as Dolby Digital EX encoded sources with non-Dolby Digital sources.

DTS

The DTS mode is used to play DTS sources.

• DTS 96/24

Automatically changes to this mode when playing back sources with surround tracks that were encoded using the DTS 96/24 technology.

• DTS-ES Discrete 6.1

With the addition of the surround back channel, this new format has all 6.1 channels recorded independently for a completely digital format. Since all channels are recorded independently, high-fidelity surround playback with the increased feeling of a separated sound space is achieved.

• DTS-ES Matrix 6.1

This format has the surround back channel matrix encoded and inserted into the left and right surround channels so that at playback the output for the left, right, and back surround channels are decoded using a high-precision matrix decoder.

MPEG Multi (MPEG Multichannel)

Used for playing MPEG multi channel source.

Input Setup

THX

This mode is for playing back sources using THX.

For excellent fidelity when playing back THX sounds, it is recommended to use a THX-certified speaker system.

• THX Cinema

This is the conventional 5.1-channel THX format. This mode should be used only when playing back sources that were mixed for playback in large movie theater environments.

• THX Surround EX

“THX Surround EX - Dolby Digital Surround EX” is a joint development of Dolby Laboratories and the THX division of Lucasfilm Ltd.

In a movie theater, film soundtracks that have been encoded with Dolby Digital Surround EX technology are able to reproduce an extra channel which has been added during the mixing of the program. This channel, called Surround Back, places sounds behind the listener in addition to the currently available front left, front center, front right, surround right, surround left, and subwoofer channels.

This additional channel provides the opportunity for more detailed imaging behind the listener and brings more depth, spacious ambience, and sound localization than ever before.

In order to enjoy the full effects of the THX Surround EX technology at home, you must be using a receiver or controller with the appropriate certification logo and the receiver must be set to the THX Surround EX mode.

This unit can play the 5.1 ch program in THX surround

EX mode, even if the program is not encoded in Dolby

Digital Surround EX format. For this kind of program, the sound from surround back channels depends on a program and may not fit to your taste.

• THX Ultra2 Cinema

When performing 7.1 ch playback of Dolby Digital,

DTS, or other 5.1 ch movie sources, the surround components are analyzed and used to create surround back channels for the optimum ambient and directional surround sound. This provides a wider sound space to the sides and rear and a heightened feeling of the sound positioning.

• THX MusicMode

This is a new mode provided with THX Ultra2 and meant for the playback of music software sources. 5.1

ch multi-channel music sources are converted to 7.1

ch playback with a virtual rear sound from the surround speakers and surround back speakers. The rear sound space is created with the consistency and spaciousness optimum for music playback.

DTS Neo:6

This mode is for 6.1 channel playback of 2 channel sources such as PCM or analog sources. All 6 channel outputs are wide frequency range with a great separation between the different channels.

This mode can be set to the Cinema mode designed for playing movies and the Music mode designed for listening to music.

• DTS Neo:6 Cinema

This mode is good for movies. Reproduced surround sound makes realistic feel of movement as 6.1

channel sources. This mode can be used with VHS and television programs with stereo sound.

• DTS Neo:6 Music

This mode uses the surround channels to provide a natural sound space that cannot be provided with normal stereo output. This mode can be used with music compact discs and other stereo sources.

Mono Movie

This mode is suitable for playing back monaural recording such as old movie soundtracks. The center channel delivers the unprocessed original sound, whereas the other channels deliver the center-channel sound processed with the appropriate reverberation. This allows you to enjoy monaural sound with the atmosphere of a movie theater.

Enhanced 7 intends to reproduce a natural surround environment by using 7-channel speakers. The sound effects moving smoothly toward the surround back. This mode is good for music and TV sports programs.

Orchestra

This mode is appropriate for classical and opera music.

The center channel is cut and the surround channels are emphasized to widen the stereo image. It will simulate the natural reverberation that is created in large halls.

Unplugged

This mode is suitable for acoustical instrumental sounds, vocals, and jazz music. By emphasizing the front stereo image, it will simulate the acoustics that you would experience in front of the stage.

Studio-Mix

This mode is for rock and popular music. The lively sounds are enhanced for a powerful acoustic image that simulates the feeling of being in a club or rock concert.

Pro Logic Ⅱ

Previous Dolby Pro Logic records the 4 channel signals

(left and right front, center, monaural surround) into 2 channels using matrix encoding and, in playback, decodes the 2 channel signal into 4 channels. However,

Dolby Pro Logic Ⅱuse the feedback logic circuits to decode matrix-encoded 2 channel signal (e.g. Dolby

Surround) more precisely into original channels for 5.1 ch playback.

In Pro Logic Ⅱ, you can choose the Movie mode for playing movies and the Music mode for playing music.

• Pro Logic ⅡMovie

In this mode, conventional narrow band monaural surround channel is played as stereo with a realistic feel of movement.

• Pro Logic ⅡMusic

In this mode, surround channels will produce natural sound space from 2 channel music.

The Movie mode can be used for playing the VHS or

DVD video with mark or certain TV programs. The Music mode can be used for playing music in stereo from CD and other sources.

TV Logic

This mode gives realistic acoustics to TV programs that are aired from TV studios. It enhances the entire surround sound and clarity of the conversation.

All Ch Stereo

This mode is designed for playing background music. The front, surround, and surround back channels create a stereo image that encompasses the entire area.

Description listening mode parameters

Subwoofer

Set this to “Off” if you are not using a subwoofer (even if one is connected). If “No” is selected for the Subwoofer setting in the Speaker Config sub-menu, then this setting will not appear.

Re-EQ/Academy

Depending on the listening mode, you can either turn Re-

EQ on or off, or you can select “Re-EQ,” “Academy,” or

“Off.”

Re-EQ: Re-EQ (re-equalization) takes the edginess or

“brightness” out of your home cinema sound to compensate for the fact that sound mixed for theaters may sound too bright when played back through speakers in the home environment.

Academy: Older monaural film mixes relied on highfrequency rolloff in presentation to sound properly balanced, so that excessive hiss from the grain structure of the film would not be heard. The highfrequency loss was typically due to a combination of optical slit loss, electrical filters, loudspeaker response, and screen loss. Some films have been transferred to video without such a high-frequency rolloff, and thus sound overly bright and hissy. This unit includes this

“Academy filter,” which is based on contemporary playback practices for such films over wide-range systems.

On: Select to turn on the Re-EQ.

Off: Select to turn off both the Re-EQ and Academy filters.

Surround Back: This outputs the sound to the surround back left and right speakers and outputs nothing to the surround left and right speakers.

Sur L/R+Back: This outputs the sound to both the surround left and right speakers and the surround back left and right speakers.

Upsampling

Upsampling processes the input digital signal or the converted digital signal from analog input source and converts their digital sampling frequency to twice the current frequency for an even further detailed sound reproduction. This can be set to either “On” or “Off.”

Surround Mode

Selects the Surround Mode for analog or PCM source.

Available options are PL ⅡMovie (Pro LogicⅡMovie), PLⅡ

Music (Pro Logic ⅡMusic), DTS Neo:6 Cinema, and DTS

Neo:6 Music.

You can change the Surround Mode settings easily using the remote controller. When you set the listening mode to

Pro Logic Ⅱor DTS Neo:6, each press of the SURROUND button on the remote controller cyclically changes the

Surround mode in the order of PL Ⅱ Movie, PLⅡMusic, DTS

Neo:6 Cinema, and DTS Neo:6 Music.

Surround Mode (2ch)

Selects the Surround Mode for 2 ch digital source (except for PCM). Available options are PL ⅡMovie and PLⅡ

Music. You cannot select Neo:6 Cinema and Neo:6

Music.

Input Channel

This allows you to set which input channel to use for monaural sound.

Auto L+R: Select this under normal circumstances.

When the input source is center channel only, this channel is used for monaural sound input channel.

Otherwise, left and right channels are mixed and the mixed signal is used for monaural sound input channel.

Left/Right: You will need to select either left or right when playing a video source that contains bilingual data. In such a case, the left and right channels will contain different language. Select the channel with the language you desire.

Pro Logic ⅡMusic Panorama

Use this listening mode to expand sound space in front of a listener to both side of the listener.

On: Turns on the PL ⅡMusic Panorama mode.

Off: Turns off the PL ⅡMusic Panorama mode.

Pro Logic ⅡMusic Dimension

Use this listening mode to modify the sound space location forward or backward.

The setting of “3” is the normal position and setting to “2” or lower moves the sound space forward and setting to

“4” or higher move the sound space backward.

If the stereo recording has excessive broadness or too strong surroundness, move the sound space forward to get the appropriate sound balance. In contrast, if the stereo recording is somewhat felt like monaural or has narrowness, move the sound space backward to get more surroundness.

Output Channel

This allows you to set which output channel to use for monaural sound. If “None” is selected for the Center

Speaker setting in the Speaker Config sub-menu, then this setting will not appear.

Auto L+R: The monaural sound is split between the left and right channels.

Center: The monaural sound is output from the front center channel.

Surround Speakers

This setting allows you to decide through which speakers to output the sound meant for the surround speakers during 5.1-channel output when seven speakers are connected to this unit.

Note:

If you have two surround back speakers placed very close together and you select “Surround Back” or “Surr L/

R+Back,” then you may not achieve the desired left-right separation of the sound space. In this case, “Surround

L+R” is recommended.

Surround L/R: This outputs the sound to the surround left and right speakers as normal and outputs nothing to the surround back left and right speakers.

Pro Logic ⅡMusic Center Width

In Pro Logic Ⅱdecoding, outstanding center signal will be output only from center speaker. When the center speaker is not used, the decoder divide the center signal equally to each front left and right speakers to create

“phantom” center sound image.

The Pro Logic ⅡMusic Center Width mode allows you to adjust where the center sound image is heard from.

Depending on your setting, the center sound image will be heard from center speaker only, front left and right speakers (as phantom center sound image), or all three speakers (center, front left and right) in various level combinations. For home use, applying some “width” to center signal will improve the level balance for center and main speakers, and effect the width of the center sound image, or “mass” of the sound. Many of sound recordings processed for stereo playback will be reproduced better by controlling the parameter for this listening mode. The recommended setting for Pro Logic Ⅱ

Music mode is “3.” This allows you to easily distinguish the

Pro Logic ⅡMusic mode from the Pro LogicⅡMovie mode whose setting is automatically set to “0.”


Neo:6 Music Center Image

DTS Neo:6 derives a center channel from two-channel

PCM and analog sources.

In cinema mode, for Lt/Rt film soundtracks, sounds steered to the center are subtracted from the left and right channels.

In music mode, the intent in the front channels is less one of steering and more one of stabilizing the front image by augmenting it with a center channel, while preserving the original perspective of the stereo mix. Therefore the derived center is never fully subtracted from the left and right channels.

Center Image is the factor controlling the amount of subtraction. It varies between 0 and 5 in steps of 1 and the default value is 3.

When Center Image=5, the factor is zero and nothing is subtracted from the left and right channels. When Center

Image=0, the center channel is subtracted from the left and right channels at half level (–6 dB) for each channel.

The signal level sent to the center channel output is not affected by Center Image.

This control should be set based on room layout and personal preferences. A setting of 5 allows the left and right channels to pass through unaltered from the stereo mix. A setting of 0 gives more center channel dominance, which is particularly desirable if listeners are located well off-center. At any setting, the center speaker anchors the image.

Center Image is only enabled when the listening mode is

DTS Neo:6 Music.

Dolby Digital EX (Dolby D)

If you have surround back speakers connected, use this setting to select whether or not you will use Dolby EX playback.

Auto: When the source has an EX flag (ID signal for

Surround EX), the playback is automatically changed to Dolby Digital EX. If the source has no EX flag, the playback is changed to Dolby Digital.

On: The playback is set to Dolby Digital EX.

Off: The playback is set to normal Dolby Digital.

If your surround channel is monaural or you do not have a surround channel, then the playback will be normal

Dolby Digital regardless of the above setting.

You can change the Dolby Digital EX mode settings easily using the remote controller. While playing a Dolby Digital source, after selecting Dolby D for listening mode, each press of the SURROUND button on the remote controller cyclically changes the Dolby Digital EX mode in the order of “Auto,” “On,” and “Off.”

Dolby EX (Others)

If you have surround back speakers connected, use this setting to select whether or not you will use Dolby EX playback for MPEG multi-channel sources.

On: For playback of MPEG multi-channel sources with

Dolby EX effects added.

Off: For normal playback of MPEG multi-channel sources.

You can change the Dolby EX mode settings easily using the remote controller. While playing a MPEG

Multichannel source, after selecting Dolby EX for listening mode, each press of the SURROUND button on the remote controller cyclically changes the Dolby EX mode in the order of “On,” or “Off.”

DTS-ES

Selects DTS-ES mode.

Auto: When the DTS source has the DTS-ES flag (ID signal for DTS-ES), the listening mode is automatically changed to DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 or DTS-ES Matrix 6.1. If the DTS source has no DTS-ES flag, the mode is changed to DTS 5.1.

On: When the DTS source has the DTS-ES flag, the listening mode is automatically changed to DTS-ES

Discrete 6.1 or DTS-ES Matrix 6.1. If the DTS source has no DTS-ES flag, the mode is forced to be DTS-ES Matrix

6.1.

Off: Even when the DTS source has the DTS-ES flag, the

DTS-ES listening modes are not used. The DTS sources are always played in DTS 5.1 mode.

You can change the DTS-ES mode settings easily using the remote controller. While playing a DTS source, after selecting DTS for listening mode, each press of the

SURROUND button on the remote controller cyclically changes the DTS-ES mode in the order of “Auto,” “On,” and “Off.”

THX Surround EX

Selects THX Surround EX mode when the input signal is

Dolby Digital.

Auto: When the Dolby Digital source has the EX flag (ID signal for Surround EX), the listening mode is automatically changed to THX Surround EX mode. When the Dolby

Digital source has no flag, the mode for the THX Mode setting below is used. Also, if a DTS source with a DTS-ES flag (ID signal for DTS-ES) is being played, THX Cinema effects for that DTS-ES playback format will be added.

Manual: Even when the source has the EX flag, the mode for the THX Mode setting below is used.

THX Mode

Selects THX mode.

Ultra2 Cinema: Playback is set to THX Ultra2 Cinema.

MusicMode: Playback is set to THX MusicMode.

Surround EX or DTS-ES Mtrx6.1+THX: Playback is set to

THX Surround EX. For DTS sources, the playback is DTS-

ES Discrete 6.1 or DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 according to the EX flag.

Cinema: Playback is set to THX Cinema.

These settings can be changed easily using the remote controller (unless THX Surround EX setting is Auto and the playback source has an EX or ES flag). With THX mode set for the listening mode, press the THX button on the remote controller to cycle the mode from Ultra2 Cinema →

MusicMode → Surround EX (for DTS sources: DTS-ES Mtrx

6.1+THX) → Cinema → and back.

Listening angle

The listening angle is the angle subtended by the front left and right speakers as seen from the listener. The setting of

20 and 40 degrees are only for nominal purposes, so select the setting that is closest to your actual listening angle.

Front left speaker Front right speaker

Reverb Lvl (Level)

This parameter allows you to adjust the depth of acoustic reverberation to match the playback source material, the acoustics of your room, and such other factors. This can be set between –5 and +5 decibels in 1-decibel increments.

Room Size

This parameter allows you set virtual hall size to simulate for each surround mode. You can choose from “Large,”

“Mid-Large,” “Middle,” “Mid-Small,” or “Small.”

Listening angle

20˚ - 40˚

Center

For systems that have a center speaker, the center channel signal can be output from the center speaker.

For instance, in systems where the front left and right speakers are small, use of the center speaker may provide a better sound space. (If your system uses a center speaker, be sure to perform the level calibration with the left and right speakers in the Speaker Setup menu beforehand.)

On: The center channel signal is output to the center speaker.

Off: The center channel signal is output from the front left and right speakers (Phantom Center).

Front Expander

The front expander function spreads out the sound from the front speakers for the feeling of a wide sound space.

On: Select to turn on the front expander function to simulate a wider sound space.

Off: Select to turn off the front expander function for a normal sound space.

Virtual Surr Lvl (Level)

This parameter adjusts the virtual surround level. This can be set from –3 to +3 decibels.

Dialog Enhance

This parameter allows you to adjust the dialog sound level from the center speaker if it is difficult to hear.

On: Enhances the vocal ranges for the center channel signal.

Off: Outputs the center channel signal at the regular level and frequency characteristics.

Front Effect

Some live recordings contain acoustic reverberation.

When you play these sources, more reverberation will be applied by the DSP, creating too much reverb effects and the sound loses frame or presence. In this case, set this setting to “Off.” No reverberation from the DSP will be applied to the sound output from the three front channels, so the sound source is be played as it is without any further reverberation.

Reflect Lvl (Level)

This parameter allows you to adjust the strength of direct sound reflections to match the playback source material, the acoustics of your room, and such other factors. This can be set between –5 and +5 decibels in 1-decibel increments.
