Dolby Digital

Dolby Digital is a digital audio compression technology developed by Dolby Laboratories that allows large quantities of audio data to be efficiently recorded on discs. It is compatible with audio signals from mono (1 channel) all the way up to 5.1-channel surround sound. The signals for the different channels are completely independent, and since the sound is high quality digital there is no loss of sound quality. * The separately sold digital audio processor (PXA-H701, etc.) is required to enjoy full 5.1-channel surround sound. The DHA-S690 performs Dolby Digital decoding when it outputs analog audio signals; 2-channel audio, not 5.1channel.

Dolby Pro Logic

Dolby Pro Logic is the technology used to decode programmes encoded in Dolby Surround. Pro Logic decoding will provide you with four channels of sound (front left/right, centre and monaural rear surround) from a 2-channel (stereo) source. * The separately sold digital audio processor (PXA-H701, etc.) is required to enjoy Dolby Pro Logic surround sound.

Dolby Pro Logic II

Dolby Pro Logic II plays 2-channel sources in 5 channels over the entire frequency range. This is done with an advanced, high sound quality matrix surround decoder which draws out the spatial properties of the original recording without adding any sounds to or changing the sound of the source. * The separately sold digital audio processor (PXA-H701, etc.) is required to enjoy Dolby Pro Logic II surround sound.

Linear PCM audio (LPCM)

Centre speaker Front speakers Rear speakers
LPCM is a signal recording format used for music CDs. Whereas music CDs are recorded at 44.1 kHz/16 bits, DVDs are recorded at 48 kHz/16 bits to 96 kHz/24 bits, thereby achieving higher sound quality than music CDs.
Rating levels (parental lock)
This is a DVD function for restricting the viewing age as stipulated by censorship laws in different countries. The way in which viewing is restricted differs from DVD to DVD. Sometimes the DVD cannot be played at all, other times certain scenes are skipped, and other times certain scenes are replaced with other scenes.

Subwoofer

Speaker layout for enjoying Dolby Digital sound/DTS sound
This is a home-use digital sound format of the DTS Sound System. This is a high quality sound system, developed by DTS, Inc. for use in movie theatres. DTS has six independent sound tracks. The theatre presentation is fully realized in the home, etc. DTS is the abbreviation for Digital Theatre System. * To enjoy DTS surround sound you need the separately sold DTS digital audio processor (PXA-H701,etc.). The DVD video software must also have a DTS sound track. The DHA-S690 has a built-in DTS 2-channel audio decoder. Analog audio outputs are available.

Before installing or connecting the unit, please read the following and pages 3 to 4 of this manual thoroughly for proper use.

Caution

HAVE THE WIRING AND INSTALLATION DONE BY EXPERTS.
The wiring and installation of this unit requires special technical skill and experience. To ensure safety, always contact the dealer where you purchased this product to have the work done.
MAKE THE CORRECT CONNECTIONS.
Failure to make the proper connections may result in fire or product damage.
USE SPECIFIED ACCESSORY PARTS AND INSTALL THEM SECURELY.
Be sure to use only the specified accessory parts. Use of other than designated parts may damage this unit internally or may not securely install the unit in place. This may cause parts to become loose resulting in hazards or product failure.
BEFORE WIRING, DISCONNECT THE CABLE FROM THE NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL.
Failure to do so may result in electric shock or injury due to electrical shorts.
ARRANGE THE WIRING SO IT IS NOT CRIMPED OR PINCHED BY A SHARP METAL EDGE.
Route the cables and wiring away from moving parts (like the seat rails) or sharp or pointed edges. This will prevent crimping and damage to the wiring. If wiring passes through a hole in metal, use a rubber grommet to prevent the wires insulation from being cut by the metal edge of the hole.
DO NOT SPLICE INTO ELECTRICAL CABLES.
Never cut away cable insulation to supply power to other equipment. Doing so will exceed the current carrying capacity of the wire and result in fire or electric shock.
DO NOT DAMAGE PIPE OR WIRING WHEN DRILLING HOLES.
When drilling holes in the chassis for installation, take precautions so as not to contact, damage or obstruct pipes, fuel lines, tanks or electrical wiring. Failure to take such precautions may result in fire.
