Dolby Surround (Dolby Pro Logic)

Used to reproduce sound tracks of the software encoded with Dolby
Surround (
DOLBY SURROUND
).
Dolby Surround encoding format records the left front channel,
right front channel, center channel, and surround channel signals
(total 4 channels) into 2 channels.
The Dolby Pro Logic decoder built in this receiver decodes these 2
channel signals into 4 original channel signals—matrix-based
multichannel reproduction, and allows you to enjoy a realistic
surround sound in your listening room.
• When Dolby Pro Logic is activated, the PRO LOGIC indicator
lights up on the display.
• Dolby Pro Logic will be activated for all 2 channel software when
the Surround mode is turned on. (The PRO LOGIC indicator lights
up.)
DTS Digital Surround
***
Used to reproduce multichannel sound tracks of the software
encoded with DTS Digital Surround (
).
• To enjoy the software encoded with DTS Digital Surround,
connect the source component using the digital terminal on the
rear of this receiver. (See page 14.)
DTS Digital Surround is another discrete 5.1 channel digital audio
format available on CD, LD, and DVD software.
Compared to Dolby Digital, the DTS Digital Surround format has a
lower audio compression rate which enables it to add breadth and
depth to the sounds reproduced. As such, DTS Digital Surround
features natural, solid and clear sound.
DTS Extended Surround (DTS-ES)
***
This is another new digital surround encoding format that adds the
third surround channels.
• This unit is compatible with DTS Extended Surround (DTS-ES).

to the type of software played back.
The DSP and HEADPHONE indicators also light up.

DVD MULTI Playback Mode
This receiver provides the DVD MULTI playback mode for
reproducing the analog discrete 5.1 channel output mode of the
DVD player or other equipment.
You can adjust the DVD MULTI playback mode while playing
back a video software such as a DVD using the analog discrete
5.1 channel output mode.
• For the DVD MULTI playback mode connection, see page 13.
