DESCRIPTION

DTS was introduced in 1994 to provide 5.1 channels of discrete digital audio into home theater systems.

DTS brings you premium quality discrete multichannel digital sound to both movies and music.

DTS is a multichannel sound system designed to create full range digital sound reproduction.

The no compromise DTS digital process sets the standard of quality for cinema sound by delivering an exact copy of the studio master recordings to neighborhood and home theaters.

Now, every moviegoer can hear the sound exactly as the moviemaker intended.

DTS can be enjoyed in the home for either movies or music on of DVD’s, LD’s, and CD’s.

“DTS” and “DTS Digital Surround” are registered trademarks of Digital Theater Systems, Inc.

“DTS”, “DTS-ES” and “Neo:6” are trademarks of

Digital Theater Systems, Inc.

The advantages of discrete multichannel systems over matrix are well known.

But even in homes equipped for discrete multichannel, there remains a need for high-quality matrix decoding.

This is because of the large library of matrix surround motion pictures available on disc and on VHS tape; and analog television broadcasts.

The typical matrix decoder of today derives a center channel and a mono surround channel from twochannel matrix stereo material. It is better than a simple matrix in that it includes steering logic to improve separation, but because of its mono, bandlimited surround it can be disappointing to users accustomed to discrete multichannel.

Neo:6 offers several important improvements as follow,

• Neo:6 provides up to six full-band channels of matrix decoding from stereo matrix material. Users with 6.1 and 5.1 systems will derive six and fi ve separate channels, respectively, corresponding to the standard home-theater speaker layouts.

• Neo:6 technology allows various sound elements within a channel or channels to be steered separately, and in a way which follows naturally from the original presentation.

• Neo:6 offers a music mode to expand stereo nonmatrix recordings into the fi ve- or six-channel layout, in a way which does not diminish the subtlety and integrity of the original stereo recording.

DTS-ES Extended Surround is a new multichannel digital signal format developed by Digital Theater

Systems Inc. While offering high compatibility with the conventional DTS Digital Surround format, DTS-

ES Extended Surround greatly improves the 360degree surround impression and space expression thanks to further expanded surround signals. This format has been used professionally in movie theaters since 1999.

In addition to the 5.1 surround channels (FL, FR, C,

SL, SR and LFE), DTS-ES Extended Surround also offers the SB (Surround Back) channel for surround playback with a total of 6.1 channels. DTS-ES

Extended Surround includes two signal formats with different surround signal recording methods, as DTS-

ES Discrete 6.1 and DTS-ES Matrix 6.1.

The stereo CD is a 16-bit medium with sampling at

44.1 kHz. Professional audio has been 20- or 24bit for some time, and there is increasing interest in higher sampling rates both for recording and for delivery into the home. Greater bit depths provide extended dynamic range. Higher sampling rates allow wider frequency response and the use of antialias and reconstruction fi lters with more favorable aural characteristics.

DTS 96/24 allows for 5.1channel sound tracks to be encoded at a rate of 96kHz/24bits on DVD-Video titles.

When DVD-video appeared, it became possible to deliver 24-bit, 96 kHz audio into the home, but only in two channels, and with serious limitations on picture.

This capability has had little use.

DVD-audio allows 96/24 in six channels, but a new player is needed, and only analog outputs are provided, necessitating the use of the D/A converters and analog electronics provided in the player.

DTS 96/24 offers the following:

1. Sound quality transparent to the original 96/24 master.

2. Full backward compatibility with all existing decoders. (Existing decoders will output a 48 kHz signal)

3. No new player required: DTS 96/24 can be carried on DVD-video, or in the video zone of DVD-audio, accessible to all DVD players.

4. 96/24 5.1-channel sound with full-quality fullmotion video, for music programs and motion picture soundtracks on DVD-video.

Dolby Pro Logic II x is fully compatible with Dolby

Surround Pro Logic technology and can optimally decode the thousands of commercially available

Dolby Surround encoded video cassettes and television programs with enhanced depth and spatiality. It can also process any high-quality stereo or Advanced Resolution 5.1-channel music content into a seamless 6.1- or 7.1-channel listening experience.

Manufactured under license from Dolby Laboratories.

Dolby Digital identifi es the use of Dolby Digital audio coding for such consumer formats as DVD and DTV.

As with fi lm sound, Dolby Digital can provide up to fi ve full-range channels for left, center, and right screen channels, independent left and right surround channels, and a sixth (“.1”) channel for low-frequency effects.

Dolby Surround Pro Logic II is an improved matrix decoding technology that provides better spatiality and directionality on Dolby Surround program material; provides a convincing three-dimensional soundfi eld on conventional stereo music recordings; and is ideally suited to bring the surround experience to automotive sound. While conventional surround programming is fully compatible with Dolby Surround

Pro Logic II decoders, soundtracks will be able to be encoded specifi cally to take full advantage of Pro

Logic II playback, including separate left and right surround channels. (Such material is also compatible with conventional Pro Logic decoders.)

Circle Surround II (CSII ) is a powerful and versatile multichannel technology. CSII is designed to enable up to 6.1 multichannel surround sound playback from mono, stereo, CS encoded sources and other matrix encoded sources. In all cases the decoder extends it into 6 channels of surround audio and a

LFE/subwoofer signal. The CSII decoder creates a listening environment that places the listener “inside” music performances and dramatically improves both hi-fi audio conventional surround-encoded video material. CSII provides composite stereo rear channels to greatly improve separation and image positioning – adding a heightened sense of realism to both audio and A/V productions.

CSII is packed with other useful feature like dialog clarity (SRS Dialog) for movies and cinema-like bass enrichment (TruBass). CSII can enable the dialog to become clearer and more discernable in movies and it enables the bass frequencies contained in the original programming to more closely achieve low frequencies – overcoming the low frequency limitations of the speakers by full octave.

Dolby Digital EX creates six full-bandwidth output channels from 5.1-channel sources. This is done using a matrix decoder that derives three surround channels from the two in the original recording. For best results, Dolby Digital EX should be used with movies soundtracks recorded with Dolby Digital

Surround EX.

About Dolby Pro Logic II x

Dolby Pro Logic II x technology delivers a natural and immersing 7.1-channel listening experience to the home theater environment. A product of

Dolby’s expertise in surround sound and matrix decoding technologies, Dolby Pro Logic II x is a complete surround sound solution that maximizes the entertainment experience from stereo as well as

5.1-channel encoded sources.

HDCD ® (High Defi nition Compatible Digital ® ) is a patented process for delivering on Compact Disc the full richness and details of the original microphone feed.

HDCD encoded CDs sound better because they are encoded with 20-bits of real musical information as compared to 16-bits for all other CDs.

HDCD overcomes the limitation of the 16-bit CD format by using a sophisticated system to encode the additional four bits onto the CD while remaining completely compatible with the CD format.

When listening to HDCD recordings, you hear more dynamic range, a focused 3-D sound stage, and extremely natural vocal and musical timbre. With

HDCD, you get the body, depth and emotion of the original performance not a fl at, digital imitation.

CONNECTIONS

SPEAKER PLACEMENT

The ideal surround speaker system for this unit is 7speaker systems, using front left and right speakers, a center speaker, surround left and right speakers, a surround back left and right speakers, and a subwoofer.

For best results we recommend that all front speakers be of the same type, with identical or similar driver units. This will deliver smooth pans across the front sound stage as the action moves from side to side.

Your center channel speaker is very important as over 80% of the dialog from a typical motion picture emanates from the center channel.

It should possess similar sonic characteristics to the main speakers. Surround channel speakers need not be identical to the front channel speakers, but they should be of high quality.

The surround back speaker is useful for playback of Dolby Digital Surround EX or DTS-ES. One of the benefi ts of both Dolby Digital and DTS is that surround channels are discrete full range, while they were frequency limited in earlier “Pro Logic’ type systems.

Bass effects are an important part of home theater.

For optimal enjoyment a subwoofer should be used as it is optimized for low frequency reproduction. If you have full range front speakers, however, they may be used in place of a subwoofer with proper setting of the switches in the menu system.

Front left and right speakers

We recommend to set the front L and R speakers with 45-60 degrees from the listening position.

Center speaker

Align the front line of the center speaker with the front

L/R speakers. Or place the center speaker a little backward from the line.

Surround left and right speakers

When the DN-A7100 is used in surround operation, the preferred location for surround speakers is on the side walls of the room, at or slightly behind the listening position.

The center of the speaker should face into the room.

Surround back left and right speakers

Surround back speakers are required when a full 7.1channel system is installed.

Speakers should be placed on a rear wall, behind the listening position.

The center of the speaker should face into the room.

Subwoofer

We recommend using a sub-woofer to have maximum bass effect. As the subwoofer only handles low frequencies, its placement is not of particular importance when used indoors.

Surround Left

Front Left

HEIGHT OF THE SPEAKER UNITS

Front left and right speakers, and a center speaker

Align the tweeters and mid-range drivers on the three front speakers at the same height, as best as possible.

Surround left and right speakers, and surround back speaker

Place the surround left, right and surround back speakers higher than your ears by about 70cm – 1m.

Also place the speakers at the same height, as best as possible.

Note:

Use magnetically-shielded speakers for front left, right and the center speakers when the speakers are installed near the TV.

HDMI JACK

This unit has two HDMI inputs and one HDMI output. It can send digital video and audio signals from DVDs and other sources directly to a display. It minimizes signal degradation caused by analog conversion so that high quality images can be enjoyed.

Select an input source from the OSD menu system.

(See page 20)

Notes:

• When the HDMI output is connected to a display monitor that does not support HDCP, signals are not output. To view images in HDMI, it is necessary to connect to a display that supports HDCP.

• There may be no image output if connected to a

TV or display that is not compatible with the above format.

• Refer to the instruction manual of the TV or display to be connected to the DN-A7100 for detailed information regarding the HDMI terminal.

* HDCP: High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection

CONNECTING HDMI DEVICES

An HDMI cable (sold separately) is used to connect the HDMI jack on the DN-A7100 with the HDMI jack on a DVD player, TV, projector or other component. To transmit multichannel audio via HDMI, the connected player must support multichannel audio transmission through its HDMI jack.

HDMI video streaming is compatible with DVI in principle. Therefore, it is possible to connect to a TV or monitor that has a DVI terminal using an HDMI-DVI conversion cable or plug. When connecting to a DVI terminal, connect the audio signal separately.

Notes:

• Some HDMI components can be controlled over the

HDMI cable, but this receiver cannot control other components this way.

• When connected to a monitor (i.e., TV, projector, etc.) that does not support HDCP, video and audio are not output.

• DVI cables come with 24-pin and 29-pin plugs. This receiver supports 24-pin DVI-D cables; 29-pin DVI cables cannot connect to it.

• Some source devices such as DVD players does not support HDMI repeater like those of the DN-A7100.

In such case, pictures are not properly projected on monitors such as TVs and projectors.

• When multiple components are connected to this receiver, turn power to unused components off to prevent interference between them.

• Disconnecting or connecting cables with the power on can damage the equipment. Turn the power off before disconnecting or connecting cables.

• Some DVD-Audio disks disable downmixing.

These types of disks are not played back correctly unless the left, center, right and surround left and right speakers, and subwoofer are connected.

• If a DVD player that does not support HDMI 1.1 is connected to the DN-A7100, multi channel PCM playback is not possible even with DVD-Audio disks.

• If a DVD player or other device with DVI output is connected to the DN-A7100, a separate audio cable

(optical-digital, coaxial digital or analog) is needed for the audio signals. In this case, select the connected audio input as explained in “1 INPUT SETUP”. (See page 20)

• Multi channel PCM signals and audio signals of 62 kHz or higher that are input from the HDMI jack are not output from the DIGITAL OUT jacks.

• Depending on the quiality of the cable used, the

HDMI signal may be affected by noise.

• Audio units that use sampling frequencies of 128 kHz and above are not supported.

SELECTING AN INPUT SOURCE

Before you can listen to any input media, you must fi rst select the input source on the DN-A7100.

Example : DVD

To select DVD, turn the INPUT SOURCE knob on the front panel or simply press the DVD button on the remote.

After you have selected DVD, simply turn on the DVD player and play the DVD.

• As the input source is changed, the new input name will appear momentarily an OSD information on the video display. The input name will also appear in the display, on the front-panel.

• As the input is changed, the DN-A7100 will automatically switch to the digital input, surround mode, attenuation, and night mode status which were entered during the confi guration process for that source.

• When an audio source is selected, the last video input used remains routed to the VCR1 Output and Monitor Output. This permits simultaneous viewing and listening to different sources.

• When a Video source is selected, the video signal for that input will be routed to the Monitor

Output jacks and will be viewable on a TV monitor connected to the DN-A7100.

If a component video input is connected to the

DVD or DSS component inputs, it will be routed to the Component Video Output. Make certain that your TV is set to the proper input to view the signal.

VIDEO CONVERT

When this function is activated, the video or

S-video signal can be emitted from the video, Svideo or component video output terminal.

To activate this function, select VIDEO CONVERT in

PREFERENCE menu and set ON.

Notes:

• The component video signal is emitted only from component video output terminal.

When the video equipment is connected by component terminal, connect the monitor and DN-

A7100 by the component terminal.

• This function is unavailable for the REC out terminal.

• This function is unavailable for the still picture, fast forward and reverse playing of the video component.

• If, while attempting to use the video convert feature, the DN-A7100 cannot synchronize with the display device, “NO SIGNAL” appears on the monitor, or noise is generated, this feature cannot be used. All of these signs are caused by equipment incompatibility; there is nothing wrong with the DN-A7100.

In such case, set VIDEO CONVERT in the

PREFERENCE menu to OFF. Also, connect the video input signal to the display device via the

MONITOR OUT terminal under VIDEO and the

S-video input signal to the display device via the

MONITOR OUT terminal under S-VIDEO.

SURROUND MODE

The DN-A7100 is equipped with many surround modes. These are provided to reproduce a variety of surround sound effects, according to the content of the source to be played.

The available surround modes may be restricted depending on the input signal and speaker setup.

AUTO

When this mode is selected, the receiver determines whether the digital input signal is Dolby Digital, Dolby

Digital Surround EX, DTS, DTS-ES, DTS 96/24 or

PCM-audio.

Surround EX & DTS-ES will operate for multichannel source that has a Dolby Digital Surround EX or DTS-

ES auto trigger fl ag in the digital signal.

When a Dolby Digital or DTS signal is input, the number of channels for which the corresponding signal is encoded will be played.

Inputting a Dolby Digital two channel signal with

Dolby surround status automatically subjects that signal to Pro Logic II x movie processing before play.

PCM 96 kHz source material can be played in this mode.

Notes:

• When you use this mode with certain DVD and CD players, performing operations such as “Skip” or

“Stop” may momentarily interrupt the output.

• When the signal is not decoded, the mode is changed to AUTO mode automatically. Refer to page 29 to confi rm the available decoding mode.

2 MODE

(Dolby Digital, Pro Logic IIx MOVIE, Pro Logic IIx

MUSIC, Pro Logic IIx GAME, Pro Logic)

This mode is used with source materials encoded in

Dolby Digital and Dolby Surround.

DOLBY DIGITAL

This mode is enabled when playing source materials encoded in Dolby Digital.

Playing multichannel encoded 6.1 or 7.1-channel

Dolby Digital sources provides five main audio channels (left, center, right, surround left and surround right) and Low Frequency Effect channel.

Dolby Digital EX decoding is not available in this mode.

Dolby Pro Logic II x brings the excitement of surround sound to any stereo mix, while making existing

Dolby Surround mixes sound more like discrete 5.1 channels Surround sound.

Dolby Pro Logic II x has 3 modes. Please see below.

Pro Logic II x MOVIE

This mode provides 6.1 or 7.1 channel surround sound from Dolby Surround encoded stereo movie sound tracks.

Pro Logic II x MUSIC

This mode provides 6.1 or 7.1 channel surround sound from conventional stereo sources, analog or digital, such as CD, Tape, FM, TV, Stereo VCR, etc.

Pro Logic II x GAME

Game mode restores the impact low-frequency surround effects by routing them to the system’s subwoofer.

Pro Logic

This mode emulated original Dolby Pro Logic decoding (3/1 surround) suit for Dolby Surround encoded stereo movie soundtracks.

Notes:

• Pro Logic IIx mode will decode as Pro Logic II mode when the SURROUND BACK SPEAKER is set NONE in SPEAKER SETUP menu. (See

SPEAKER SETUP, page 20)

• Pro Logic IIx mode is available for a 2ch input signal which is encoded in Dolby Digital or PCM format.

• PCM-audio signals can be subjected to Pro Logic processing when the sampling frequency is 32 kHz,

44.1 kHz or 48 kHz.

EX/ES

This mode provides 6.1 channel surround for DOLBY

DIGITAL EX, DTS-ES encoded source material such as DVD.

This mode cannot be used when an analog input has been selected.

Dolby Digital EX

In a movie theater, fi lm 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.

Dolby Digital EX is not available in the system without surround back speaker(s).

DTS-ES (Discrete 6.1, Matrix 6.1)

DTS-ES adds the surround back channel audio to the DTS 5.1-channel format to improve the acoustic positioning and makes acoustic image movement more natural with the 6.1-channel reproduction.

This receiver incorporates a DTS-ES decoder, which can handle DTS-ES Discrete-encoded and DTS-ES

Matrix-encoded program sources from DVD, etc..

DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 features digital discrete recording of all channels including the surround back channel(s) and higher quality of audio reproduction.

DTS-ES is not available in the system without a surround back speaker.

dts MODE

(dts, Neo:6 Cinema, Neo:6 Music)

This mode is for DTS encoded source materials such as LASER DISC, CD, and DVD. Neo:6 is for some 2 channel sources.

dts : This mode is enabled when playing source materials encoded in dts multichannel.

Playing multichannel encoded 5.1-channel dts sources provides five main audio channels (left, center, right, surround left and surround right) and

Low Frequency Effect channel.

dts-ES decoding is not available in this mode.

The DTS mode cannot be used when an analog input has been selected.

Neo:6 Cinema, Neo:6 Music

This mode decodes 2-channel signals into 6channel signals using high-accuracy digital matrix technology.

The DTS NEO:6 decoder has near-discrete properties in the frequency characteristics of the channels as well as in channel separation.

According to the signals to be played back, DTS

NEO:6 uses either the NEO:6 CINEMA mode optimized for movie playback or the NEO:6 MUSIC mode optimized for music playback.

Notes:

• Neo:6 mode is available to 2ch input signals which are encoded in Dolby Digital or PCM Analog format.

• PCM-audio signals can be subjected to Pro Logic processing when the sampling frequency is 32 kHz,

44.1 kHz or 48 kHz.

MULTI CH. ST

This mode is used to create a wider, deeper and more natural soundstage from two channel source material.

This is done by feeding the left channel signal to both left front and left surround speaker and the right channel signal to both right front and right surround speaker. Additionally, the center channel reproduces a mix of the right and left channel.

CIRCLE SURROUND II

(CSII-CINEMA, CSII-MUSIC, CSII-MONO)

Circle Surround is designed to enable multichannel surround sound playback of non-encoded and multichannel encoded material.

Backward compatibility provides listeners with up to

6.1 channels of surround performance from entire collection of music and fi lm, including broadcast, videotape and stereo recorded music.

Depending on source material, you can select CS II -

Cinema mode, CS II -Music mode or CS II -Mono mode.

Surround-encoded and non-encoded music. Music

Mode decodes, music DVDs, radio and TV music broadcasts and CDs into enveloping 6.1-channel surround.

27

28

CSII-Mono mode

This mode plays back monaural recordings from any source, including CDs, DVDs and TV and radio broadcasts in compelling 6.1-channel surround.

Notes:

• CS II mode is available for 2ch input signals which are encoded in Dolby Digital or PCM format.

• PCM-audio signals can be subjected to Pro Logic processing when the sampling frequency is 32 kHz,

44.1 kHz or 48 kHz.

VIRTUAL

This mode creates a virtualized surround sound experience from a two-speaker (front L and R) playback system playing any multichannel audio source (such as found on DVDs and digital broadcasts), including Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic or DTS.

CAUTION

NOTE for DTS signal

* Connected DVD player, laserdisc player or CD player needs to support DTS digital output. 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 DN-A7100 digitally. This is because the digital signal has been processed

(such as the output level, sampling frequency or frequency response), and the DN-A7100 cannot recognize the signal as DTS data.

* Depending on the player used, DTS play may produce a short noise. This is not a malfunction.

* While signals from a DTS laserdisc or CD are playing in another surround mode, you cannot switch to digital input or from digital input to analog input from the INPUT SETUP in the MAIN MENU or by pressing the A/D button.

* The outputs for VCR OUT, TAPE OUT, and CD-R/

MD OUT output analog audio signals only. 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.

STEREO

This mode bypasses all surround processing.

In stereo program sources, the left and right channels play normally when PCM-audio or analog stereo is input.

With Dolby Digital and DTS sources, the 5.1 multichannels are converted to two channel stereo.

96 kHz PCM source material can be played back in stereo mode.

SOURCE DIRECT

In the Source Direct mode, the tone control circuit and bass management confi guration are bypassed for full-range frequency response and the purist audio reproduction.

Notes:

• Speaker size is set to Front L/R = LARGE, Center =

LARGE, Surround L/R = LARGE and Subwoofer

= YES automatically. Tone controls, equalizer and additional processing are deactivated.

• When you use this mode with certain DVD and CD players, performing operations such as skip or stop may momentarily interrupt the output.

PURE DIRECT

The Pure Direct mode further reduces sources of noise in addition to effect of the Source Direct mode, by blocking output from the video jacks (VIDEO,

S-VIDEO, COMPONENT VIDEO and HDMI) and turning the FL display off.

NOTE for Dolby Digital Surround EX signal

* When playing Dolby Digital Surround EX-encoded software in 6.1 channels, it is required to set the

EX/ES mode.

* Note that some of Dolby Digital Surround

EX-encoded software does not contain the identifi cation signal. In this case, set the EX/ES mode manually.

NOTE for 96kHz PCM audio

* AUTO, PURE-DIRECT, and STEREO modes can be used when playing PCM signals with a sampling frequency of 96 kHz (such as from

DVDVideo discs that contain 24 bit, 96 kHz audio).

If such signals are input during playback in one of the other surround modes, output from DN-A7100 will be muted.

* Certain DVD player models inhibit digital output.

For details, refer to the player’s operation manual.

* Some DVD formatted discs feature copy protection.

When using such disc, 96 kHz PCM signal is not output from the DVD player. For details, refer to the player’s operation manual.

NOTE for HDCD signal

* HDCD is effective only through digital input.

* You may not be able to play some HDCD source signals from certain CD players if you connect the player to the DN-A7100 digitally. This is because the digital signal has been processed (such as the output level, sampling frequency or frequency response) and the DN-A7100 cannot recognize the signal as HDCD data.

The relation between the selected surround mode and the input signal

The surround mode is selected with the surround mode selector on DN-A7100 or the remote control unit. However, the sound you hear is subject to the relationship between the selected surround mode and input signal. That relationship is as follows;

This selecting is temporary, so the result will not be stored in memory.

If you need to change the input mode completely, use

INPUT SETUP in OSD menu system. (see page 20)

RECORDING AN ANALOG SOURCE

In normal operation, the audio or video source selected for listening through the DN-A7100 is sent to the record outputs.

This means that any program you are watching or listening to may be recorded simply by placing machines connected to the outputs for TAPE OUT,

CD-R/MD OUT, VCR OUT in the record mode.

To record the input source signal you are currently watching or listening to

1.

1.

Recording the video from one source and the audio from another

You can add the sound from one source to the video of another source to make your own video recordings.

Below is an example of recording the sound from a compact disc player connected to CD IN and the video from a video camera connected to DSS/VCR2 to video cassette recorder connected to the VCR

OUT jack.

1.

2.

1.

Select the input source to record by turning the

INPUT SOURCE knob on the front panel or simply press the input selector buttons on the remote.

• If you change the input source during recording, you will record the signals from the newly selected input source.

• You cannot record the surround effects.

• Digital input signals are only output to the digital outputs. There is no conversion from digital to analog.

When connecting CD players and other digital components, do not connect only the digital terminals, but the analog ones as well.

HT-EQ (HOME THEATER EQUALIZER)

At cinemas, the front left, front right and center speakers are located behind the screen. So, screen damping is taken into account when mastering movie software, with an emphasis on high frequencies.

When playing back such software at home, the signal takes on different characteristics from those at the cinema. This unit includes HT-EQ to rectify the sound difference between that experienced at a cinema and in a home theater, allowing you to enjoy the same sound you would experience at the cinema at home. The HT-EQ feature is available except in the following modes.

• 7.1 CH INPUT

• PURE-DIRECT

• When VIRTUAL is set for the surround mode

LIP.SYNC

Depending on the image device (TV, monitor, projector, etc.) connected to the DN-A7100, a time lag can occur between image signal processing and audio signal processing. Though minor, this time lag can interfere with movie and music enjoyment.

The LIP.SYNC feature delays the audio signal with respect to the image signal output from the DN-

A7100 to correct the time lag between the sound and image. It can be operated with the “LIP.SYNC” and 1 and 2 cursor buttons of the remote controller.

Set the remote controller to the AMP mode before operating the LIP.SYNC feature. The initial setting is

OFF (0 ms).The time lag can be adjusted in 10 ms steps up to 200 ms.

TRANSMISSION DATA FORMAT

Transmission data format from Host to Slave

There are two kinds of transmission data form from Host shown below.

• Form1: Command

Command is a data that requests some status change.

Start character

COMMAND

: ‘@’

: see “Command list”

End character (CR) : 0Dh start

‘@’ command

“xxx:”+“...” end

0Dh

THE TRANSACTION SEQUENCES AND THE REGULATIONS

The transaction sequences

The transactions have three kinds of sequence.

* A transaction is a Command from Host then Slave will be an answer by Status answer, ACK or NAK.

* A transaction is a Status request from Host then Slave will be an answer by Status answer or NAK.

* A transaction is Auto status feedback from Slave when a Slave’s status changed. (If the auto status feedback is enabled.)

The transaction regulations

The transactions have some kinds of regulation.

* An answer (ACK, NAK or Status answer) transmittion by Slave has to fi nish within 500ms when got a

Command or a Status request from Host.

* Host must not transmit an another Command or Status request until “it receives a answer by a previous

Command or Status request” or “it passes a term of waitinng time from a fi nishing of previous transmission of a Command or a Status request “.

* Slave has to fi nish a transaction under 500ms when it sends Auto status feedback data.

• Form2: Status request

Status request is a data that requests a answer of some status.

Start character

Request status

: ‘@’

: see “Status request list”

Request character : ‘?’

End character (CR) : 0Dh start

‘@’ request status

“xxx:?”+“...” end

0Dh

Transmission data format from Slave to Host

There are two kinds of transmission data form from Slave shown below.

Specifi cation of Auto status feedback

There are some specifi c regulations about Auto status feedback.

* The product status has segmented into four layers of 1, 2, 3 and 4.

* The status of layer 1 are assigned most kindly status to Host. (The statuses of layer 2 are assigned kindly status, the statuses of layer 3 are not so need status to Host and the statuses of layer 4 are probably no wished statuses.)

* Each layer status can control transmit enable or disable by Host command. (The product default would be all disables.)

* Slave sends auto status feedback by itself when the status is changed and if the status feedback is enabled.

* The product defi ned and segmentationed layers are takeing in status list.

• Form1: ACK/NAK

ACK is a reply data from Slave when Slave got an acceptable command data from Host.

(ACK is sent to Host when Slave has no related status by the Command.)

Start character : ‘@’, ACK : 06h, End character (CR) : 0Dh start

‘@’

ACK

06h

CR

0Dh

NAK is a reply data from Slave when Slave got an incorrect Command data, Status request data or some other data from Host.

Start character : ‘@’, NAK : 15h, End character (CR) : 0Dh start

‘@’

NAK

15h

CR

• Form2: Status answer and Auto status feedback

Status answers are reply data when Slave got an acceptable Request status or Command data from Host.

Auto status feedbacks are send to Host data when a Slave’s status is changed.

Start character

GENERAL MALFUNCTION

If the equipment malfunctions, this may be because an electrostatic discharge or AC line interference has corrupted the information in the equipment memory circuits. Therefore:

- disconnect the plug from the AC line supply

- after waiting at least three minutes, reconnect the plug to the AC line supply

- re-attempt to operate the equipment

Memory backup

• In case a power outage occurs or the power cord is accidentally unplugged, the DN-

A7100 is equipped with a backup function to prevent memory data such as the preset memory from being erased.
