Introducing the Surround modes

I Dolby Digital*

Dolby Digital is a digital signal compression method, developed by Dolby Laboratories, and enables multi-channel encoding and decoding. When Dolby Digital signal is detected through the digital input, the indicator lights up on the display.

Dolby Digital 5.1CH

Reproducing theater ambience
In a movie theater, many speakers are located on the walls to reproduce impressive multi-channel sound, reaching you from all directions. With these many speakers, sound localization and sound movement can be expressed. Surround/DSP modes built in this receiver can create almost the same Surround sound as you can feel in a real movie theater.
Dolby Digital 5.1CH (DOLBY DIGITAL) encoding method records and digitally compresses the left front channel, right front channel, center channel, left surround channel, right surround channel, and LFE channel signals (total 6 channels, but the LFE channel is counted as 0.1 channel. Therefore, called 5.1 channel). Dolby Digital enables stereo surround sounds, and sets the cutoff frequency of the surround treble at 20 kHz, compared to 7 kHz for Dolby Pro Logic. As such, the sound movement and being-there feeling are enhanced much more than Dolby Pro Logic.

PLIIx MUSIC

To enjoy software encoded with Dolby Digital, connect the source component using the digital terminal on the rear of this receiver. (See page 11.)
** DTS, DTS-ES, Neo:6 and DTS 96/24 are trademarks of Digital Theater Systems, Inc. When using Surround mode, the sounds come out of the activated speakers which the Surround mode requires. If either SURROUND SPK or CENTER SPK is set to <NO> in the speaker setting (see page 19), the corresponding channel signals are allocated to and emitted through the front speakers. If both SURROUND SPK and CENTER SPK are set to <NO> in the speaker setting (see page 19), JVCs original 3D-PHONIC processing (which has been developed to create the surround effect through the front speakers only) is used. The 3D-PHONIC indicator lights up on the display.

I DTS**

DTS is another digital signal compression method, developed by Digital Theater Systems, Inc., and enables multi-channel encoding and decoding (1ch up to 6.1ch). When DTS signal is detected through the digital input, the indicator lights up on the display.

DTS Digital Surround

DTS Digital Surround (DTS) is another discrete 5.1 channel digital audio format available on CD, LD, and DVD software. Compared to Dolby Digital, the DTS Digital Surround format has a lower audio compression rate which enables it to add breadth and depth to the sounds reproduced. As such, DTS Digital Surround features natural, solid, and clear sound.

3D HEADPHONE mode

If you connect a pair of headphones while one of the Surround modes is in use, the 3D HEADPHONE mode is activated without respect to the type of software played back. 3D HEADPHONE appears on the display and the DSP and HEADPHONE indicators light up.
DTS Extended Surround (DTS-ES)
DTS-ES is another multi-channel digital encoding format. It greatly improves the 360-degree surround impression and space expression by adding the third surround channelsurround back channel. DTS-ES includes two signal formats with different surround signal recording methodsDTS-ES Discrete 6.1ch (ES DISCRETE) and DTS-ES Matrix 6.1ch (ES MATRIX). DTS-ES Discrete 6.1ch has been designed to encode (and decode) a 6.1-channel signal discretely to avoid interference with each channel. DTS-ES Matrix 6.1ch has been designed to add an extra surround channel to DTS Digital Surround 5.1-channel. By using a matrix encoding/decoding method, an additional surround back channel signal is encoded (and decoded) in both the left and right surround channel signals.

Remote control of the TV, DVD player, and VCR using this remote control
See pages 36 and 37 for details. Aim the remote control directly at the remote sensor on each component.

One-touch video play

Simply by inserting a video cassette without its safety tab into the VCR, you can enjoy the video playback without setting other switches manually. The receiver automatically turns on and changes the source to VCR (or VCR DIGITAL). The TV automatically turns on and changes the input mode to the appropriate position so that you can view the playback picture. When you insert a video cassette with its safety tab, press the play (3) button on the VCR or on the remote control. So, you can get the same result.

Using the Surround Modes

This unit activates a variety of Surround modes automatically. The basic settings and adjustments stored (see pages 16 to 22) are applied automatically.
Reproducing Theater Ambience
In a movie theater, many speakers are located on the walls to reproduce impressive multi-surround sounds, reaching you from all directions. With these many speakers, sound localization and sound movement can be expressed. Surround modes built in this receiver can create almost the same surround sounds as you can feel in a real movie theaterwith only a limited number of the speakers.
Introducing the Surround Modes

Dolby Digital*1

Dolby Digital is a digital signal compression method, developed by Dolby Laboratories, and enables multi-channel encoding and decoding (1ch up to 5.1ch). When Dolby Digital signal is detected through the digital input, indicator lights up on the display. the

Dolby Digital 5.1CH

Dolby Digital 5.1CH (DOLBY DIGITAL) encoding method records and digitally compresses the left front channel, right front channel, center channel, left surround channel, right surround channel, and LFE channel signals (total 6 channels, but the LFE channel is counted as 0.1 channel. Therefore, called 5.1 channel). Dolby Digital enables stereo surround sounds, and sets the cutoff frequency of the surround treble at 20 kHz, compared to 7 kHz for Dolby Pro Logic. As such, the sound movement and being-there feeling are enhanced much more than Dolby Pro Logic. Another digital surround encoding format introduced by Dolby Laboratories is Dolby Digital EX, which adds the third surround channels, called surround back. Compared to the conventional Dolby Digital 5.1CH, these newly added surround back channels can reproduce more detailed movements behind you while viewing the video software. In addition, surround sound localization will become more stable. You can use Virtual Surround Back (see page 20) when playing back Dolby Digital Surround EX software. This function creates the great surround effect from the behind as if you have connected the surround back speakers.

Auto Surround Function

This receiver has Auto Surround Function, which allows you to enjoy the Surround mode simply by selecting the source (with digital input selected for that source). Auto Surround works. When multi-channel signal is detected, an appropriate Surround mode will be turned on. When Dolby Digital 2-channel with surround signals is detected, PLII MOVIE will be selected. When Dolby Digital 2-channel without surround signals is detected, SURROUND OFF will be selected. When Linear PCM signal is detected, nothing will change.
When the Dolby Digital or DTS multi-channel digital signal stops coming in, PLII MOVIE will be activated.
For analog sources and digital 2-channel software, you can select one of the following Surround modes. Each time you press SURROUND, Surround modes change as follows:
