NOTES: Assignment of low frequency signal range The signals produced from the subwoofer channel are LFE signals (during playback of Dolby Digital or DTS signals) and the low frequency signal range of channels set to SMALL in the setup. The low frequency signal range of channels set to LARGE are produced from those channels. Crossover Frequency When Subwoofer is set to Yes at the Speaker Configuration Setting, set the frequency (Hz) below which the bass sound of the various speakers is to be output from the subwoofer (the crossover frequency). For speakers set to Small, sound with a frequency below the crossover frequency is cut, and the cut bass sound is output from the subwoofer instead. NOTE: For ordinary speaker systems, we recommend setting the crossover frequency to 80 Hz. When using small speakers, however, setting the crossover frequency to a high frequency may improve frequency response for frequencies near the crossover frequency. Subwoofer mode The subwoofer mode setting is only valid when LARGE is set for the front speakers and YES is set for the subwoofer in the Speaker Configuration settings (see pages 19, 20). If SMALL is set for the front speakers or NO is set for the subwoofer, the subwoofer mode setting does not affect playback of low frequency signal range. When the +MAIN playback mode is selected, the low frequency signal range of channels set to LARGE are produced simultaneously from those channels and the subwoofer channel. In this playback mode, the low frequency range expand more uniformly through the room, but depending on the size and shape of the room, interference may result in a decrease of the actual volume of the low frequency range. When the NORM playback mode is selected, the low frequency signal range of channels set to LARGE are only produced from those channels. In this playback mode there tends to be little interference of the low frequency range in the room. Try playing the music or movie source and select the playback mode providing the stronger low frequency range sound.

2 Types of sources

Movie audio
Signals created to be played in movie theaters. In general sound is recorded to be played in movie theaters equipped with multiple surround speakers, regardless of the format (Dolby Digital, DTS, etc.).
Movie theater sound field

FL SW C FR

Listening room sound field SL SR
In this case it is important to achieve the same sense of expansion as in a movie theater with the surround channels. To do so, in some cases the number of surround speakers is increased (to four or eight) or speakers with bipolar or dipolar properties are used. SL: Surround L channel SR: Surround R channel SB: Surround back channel
SB Multiple surround speakers (For 6.1-channel system)
Other types of audio These signals are designed to recreate a 360 sound field using three to five speakers.
In this case the speakers should surround the listener from all sides to create a uniform sound field from 360. Ideally the surround speakers should function as point sound sources in the same way as the front speakers.
These two types of sources thus have different properties, and different speaker settings, particularly for the surround speakers, are required in order to achieve the ideal sound.

Surround back speakers

A 6.1-channel system is a conventional 5.1-channel system to which the surround back (SB) channel has been added. This makes it easy to achieve sound positioned directly behind the listener, something that was previously difficult with sources designed for conventional multi surround speakers. In addition, the acoustic image extending between the sides and the rear is narrowed, thus greatly improving the expression of the surround signals for sounds moving from the sides to the back and from the front to the point directly behind the listening position.
Change of positioning and acoustic image with 5.1-channel systems
Change of positioning and acoustic image with 6.1-channel systems
SB ch Movement of acoustic image from SR to SB to SL
Movement of acoustic image from SR to SL
With this set, speaker(s) for 1 or 2 channels are required to achieve a 6.1-channel system (DTS-ES, etc.). Adding these speakers, however, increases the surround effect not only with sources recorded in 6.1 channels but also with conventional 2- to 5.1-channel sources. All the Denon original surround modes (see page 47) are compatible with 6.1-channel playback, so you can enjoy 6.1-channel sound with any signal source.

Never set the mode to ANALOG or PCM. 1 Set the input mode to AUTO or DTS (page 34). Never set the mode to ANALOG or PCM. 1 Set the input mode to AUTO or DTS (page 34).

LD (VDP)

1 DTS signals are recorded in the same way on CDs and LDs as PCM signals. Because of this, the un-decoded DTS signals are output as random hissy noise from the CD or LD players analog outputs. If this noise is played with the amplifier set at a very high volume, it may possibly cause damage to the speakers. To avoid this, be sure to switch the input mode to AUTO or DTS before playing CDs or LDs recorded in DTS. Also, never switch the input mode to ANALOG or PCM during playback. The same holds true when playing CDs or LDs on a DVD player or LD/DVD compatible player. For DVDs, the DTS signals are recorded in a special way so this problem does not occur. 2 The signals provided at the digital outputs of a CD or LD player may undergo some sort of internal signal processing (output level adjustment, sampling frequency conversion, etc.). In this case the DTS-encoded signals may be processed erroneously, in which case they cannot be decoded by the AVR-1505/485, or may only produce noise. Before playing DTS signals for the first time, turn down the master volume to a low level, start playing the DTS disc, then check whether the DTS indicator on the AVR-1505/485 (see page 35) lights before turning up the master volume. 3 A DVD player with DTS-compatible digital output is required to play DTS DVDs. A DTS Digital Output logo is featured on the front panel of compatible DVD players. Recent DENON DVD player models feature DTS-compatible digital output consult the players owners manual for information on configuring the digital output for DTS playback of DTS-encoded DVDs.

DTS-ES Extended Surround

DTS-ES Extended Surround is a new multi-channel digital signal format developed by Digital Theater Systems Inc. While offering high compatibility with the conventional DTS Digital Surround format, DTS-ES Extended Surround greatly improves the 360-degree surround impression and space expression thanks to further expanded surround signals. This format has been used professionally in movie theaters since 1999. In addition to the 5.1 surround channels (FL, FR, C, SL, SR and LFE), DTS-ES Extended Surround also offers the SB (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 described below.

Note: When a subwoofer has been connected and the virtual surround function is being used, the signal played from the subwoofer channel is LFE only (only when playing Dolby Digital or DTS signals) for initial factory settings (i.e., the setting of the front speaker is LARGE and the setting of the subwoofer mode is NORM). When subwoofer effects are felt to be weak, while in the system setup mode try setting the subwoofer mode to +MAIN, or the front speaker to SMALL in the system setup Speaker Configuration settings. Making these settings will result in the low-frequency sounds of the front channel being played from the subwoofer.
