TONE ON: When adjusting the tone for your taste. ("DIRECT" indicator goes off. ) TONE OFF: When listening to a program source without the tone effect. ("DIRECT" indicator light up. ) · In general, we recommend the bass and the treble to be set to 0(flat) level. Notes: · If the tone display disappears, start from the step 10 again. · Extreme settings at high volume may damage your speakers. · When the digital signals from DTS or Dolby Digital program sources are input in available surround mode or the 7 CH DIRECT is selected as an input source, you cannot adjust the tone and can hear a program source without the tone effect. 21 SURROUND SOUND · This receiver incorporates a sophisticated Digital Signal Processor that allows you to create optimum sound quality and sound atmosphere in your personal Home Theater. Surround modes DTS Digital Surround DTS Digital Surround(also called simply DTS) is a multichannel digital signal format which can handle higher data rates than Dolby Digital. Although both Dolby Digital and DTS are 5. 1 channel formats, discs bearing the " " are generally thought to provide better sound quality due to the lower audio compression required. It also provides wide dynamic range and separation, resulting in magnificent sound. DTS Neo : 6TM surround This mode applies conventional 2-channel signals such as digital PCM or analog stereo signals to the high precision digital matrix decoder used for DTS-ES Matrix 6. 1 to achieve 6. 1-channel surround playback. DTS Neo : 6 surround includes two modes for selecting the optimum decoding for the signal source. DTS Neo : 6 Cinema This mode is optimum for playing movies. Decoding is performed with emphasis on separation performance to achieve the same atmosphere with 2-channel sources as with 6. 1-channel sources. DTS Neo : 6 Music This mode is suited mainly for playing music. The front left and front right signals bypass the decoder and are played directly so there is no loss of sound quality, and the effect of the surround signals from the center, surround left, surround right and surround back channels adds a natural sense of expansion to the sound field. "DTS", "DTS-ES" and "Neo : 6" are trademarks of Digital Theater Systems, Inc. DTS - ES Extended SurroundTM ( ) This is a new multi channel digital signal format which greatly improves the 360- degree surround impression and space expression thanks to further expanded surround signals, offering high compatibility with the conventional DTS format. In addition to the 5. 1 channels, DTS-ES Extended Surround also offers the surround back (sometimes also referred to as "surround center") 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 follows: DTS-ESTM Discrete 6. 1 Because the signals for 6. 1 channels (including the surround back channel) are fully independent, it is possible to achieve a sense that the acoustic image are moving about freely among the background sounds surrounding the listener from 360 degrees. Though maximum performance is achieved when sound tracks recorded with this system are played using a DTS -ES decoder, when played with a conventional DTS decoder, the surround back channel signals are automatically downmixed to the surround left and surround right channels so that none of the signal components are lost. DTS - ESTM Matrix 6. 1 With this format, the additional surround back channel signals undergo matrix encoding and are input to the surround left and surround right channels beforehand. [. . . ] · Select the desired center speaker setting. · Adjust master volume and center level. · Under the proper situations, perform the 6. 1 surround playback. · Adjust master volume and surround back level.
