Mini Glossary for Audio Stream
and Surround mode
Allows you to enjoy 5.1(or 6) discrete channels of high quality
digital audio from DTS programme sources such as discs,
DVD and compact discs, etc.bearing the trademark. DTS
Digital Surround delivers up to 6 channels of transparent
audio(which means identical to the original masters) and
results in exceptional clarity throughout a true 360 degree
sound field. The term DTS is a trademark of DTS Technology,
LLC. Manufactured under license from DTS Technology, LLC.
(Dolby Digital)
The Dolby Digital surround format lets you enjoy up to 5.1
channels of digital surround sound from a Dolby Digital pro-
gramme source. If you play DVDs with "
enjoy even better sound quality, greater spatial accuracy, and
improved dynamic range.
(Dolby Pro Logic)
Use this mode when playing movie or Dolby Digital 2 channel
which carries the " " mark. This mode provides the effect
of being in a movie theatre or live concert house-an effect with
an intensity which can only be obtained through DOLBY PRO
LOGIC SURROUND. The effect of the front/back/left/right
movement of the sound image, as well as the sense of fixed
position in the sound image, is much clearer and more dynam-
ic than before.
(Dolby Pro Logic
Dolby Pro Logic II creates five full-bandwidth output channels
from two-channel sources. This is done using an advanced,
high-purity matrix surround decoder that extracts the spatial
properties of the original recording without adding any new
sounds or tonal colorations.
MOVIE mode:
The Movie mode is for use with stereo television shows and all
programs encoded in Dolby Surround. The result is enhanced
soundfield directionality that approaches the quality of discrete
5.1-channel sound.
MUSIC mode:
The Music mode is for use with any stereo music recordings,
and provides a wide and deep sound space. The Music mode
includes controls that allow the sound to be tailored to individual
listening tastes.
MATRIX mode:
The Matrix mode is the same as the Music mode except that the
directional enhancement logic is turned off. It may be used to
enhance mono signals by making them seem "larger." The
Matrix mode may also find use in auto systems, where the fluc-
tuations from poor FM stereo reception can otherwise cause dis-
turbing surround signals from a logic decoder. The ultimate
"cure" for poor FM stereo reception may be simply to force the
audio to mono.
3D SURROUND
This unit can produce a 3D Surround effect, using 3D Surround
Sound technology, which simulates multi-channel audio play-
back from two conventional stereo speakers instead of the five
or more speakers normally required to listen to multi-channel
audio from a home theatre. This feature works with DVD discs
encoded with Dolby Pro Logic and Dolby Digital audio tracks.
