Surround modes
Dolby Digital
The Dolby Digital surround format lets you enjoy up to 5.1 channels
of digital surround sound from Dolby Digital program sources (such as
Laserdisc or DVD software marked
). Compared with previ-
ous Dolby surround, Dolby Digital provides even better sound quality,
greater spatial accuracy, and improved dynamic range.
Although a full set of speakers (front left, right, and center, surround
left and right, and a subwoofer) is required for true 5.1 channel Dolby
Digital surround sound, this receiver lets you enjoy Dolby Digital (and
Dolby Surround) program sources, even if you connect only the front
speakers.

Ambience effects
Note
*LFE = Low Frequency Effects. This channel delivers separate non-
directional bass signals to the subwoofer for more dynamic deep bass
sound effects.
DTS
The DTS multi-channel audio format is available on CD, LD and DVD
software. DTS is strictly digital format and cannot be decoded inside
most CD, LD or DVD players. For this reason. If you attempt to listen
to DTS encoded software through the analog output of your new CD,
LD or DVD player, you will experience digital noise in most cases. This
noise can be quite loud if the analog output is connected directly to a
high power amplification system. Proper measures for playing the
digital output as described below should be taken to avoid this
situation. To enjoy DTS Digital Surround playback, an external 5.1
channel DTS Digital Surround decoder system or an amplifier with a
built-in DTS Digital Surround decoder must be connected to the digital
output (S/P DIF, AES/EBU or TosLink) of a CD, LD or DVD player.
All models are incorporated with the DTS decoder.
Note
*LFE = Low Frequency Effects. This channel delivers separate non-
directional bass signals to the subwoofer for more dynamic deep bass
sound effects.
DTS has a .1 or LFE channel.
The indication “LFE” appears in the display when a signal is being
input for this channel.
Dolby PRO LOGIC II
Dolby Pro Logic II was designed specifically to provide a new sense
of spatiality, directionality and articulation of sounds from Dolby
Surround encoded sources (such as video and Laserdisc software
marked
). This is achieved with an intelligent, built-in
feedback logic design, a matrix surround decoding and the decoding
of stereo, full bandwidth surround outputs. The PRO LOGIC
II modes
programmed into this receiver are “MOVIE”, “MUSIC” and “PRO
LOGIC”. The “MOVIE” mode of the PRO LOGIC
II has preset
characteristics to produce a calibrated.
