User manual SHERWOOD R-671

[. . . ] Introduction READ THIS BEFORE OPERATING YOUR UNIT This symbol is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated "dangerous voltage" within the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons. CAUTION : TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK). REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL. This symbol is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance. WARNING : TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE. Note to CATV System Installer : This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer's attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical. FCC INFORMATION This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. [. . . ] · Ensure that the SPEAKER button is set to off. · Depending on the signal format which is being input, you can listen in different Dolby Headphone modes, stereo mode, etc. with pressing the DSP MODE ¢¸ (<) /¢º (>) buttons. (For details, refer to "Listening in a Dolby Headphone mode" on page 30). 25 Adjusting the tone(bass and treble) 10 Enter the tone mode. 11 At the desired tone mode, adjust the tone as desired. · At "TONE ON" mode, you can select "TONE OFF" mode and vice versa. · Each time this button is pressed, the corresponding tone mode is selected and shown for several seconds as follows: TONE ON : When adjusting the tone for your taste. ¨R ("DIRECT" indicator goes off. ) TONE OFF : When listening to a program source without the tone effect. ("DIRECT" indicator lights up. ) · In general, we recommend the bass and the treble to be set to 0(flat) level. · When the tone mode is off, "TONE OFF" is shown. §s Notes: · If the tone display disappears, start from the step ¨ð again. · Extreme settings at high volume may damage your speakers. · When the digital signals from DTS, Dolby Digital or MPEG program sources are input or the EXTERNAL IN is selected as an input source, you cannot adjust the tone and can hear a program source without the tone effect. 26 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 ¡á DTS Digital Surround DTS Digital Surround(also called simply DTS) is a multichannel digital signal format which can handle higher data rates. Discs bearing the " " include the recording of up to 5. 1 channels of digital signals, which can be 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 : 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. ¡á 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. During playback, they are decoded to the surround left, surround right and surround back channels. Because the bit stream format is 100% compatible with conventional DTS signals, the effect of the DTS-ES Matrix 6. 1 format can be achieved even with DTS 5. 1- channel signal sources.
