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/

Connecting speakers

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.

Input Setup

2-1. Digital Setup sub-menu 2-4. Listening Mode Preset sub-menu

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

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.

Listening Mode Setup

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.”

Listening Mode Setup

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.

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.
