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 DTS indicator lights up on the display.
When using Surround mode, the sounds come out of the activated speakers which the Surround mode requires. If either the surround speakers or center speaker is set to NO in the speaker setting (see page 18), the corresponding channel signals are allocated to and emitted through the front speakers. If both the surround speakers and center speaker are set to NO in the speaker setting (see page 18), JVCs original 3DPHONIC processing (which has been developed to create the surround effect through the front speakers only) is used. The 3D 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. 3DHEADPHONE appears on the display and the DSP, 3D, and HP 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.
About other digital signals

When using the DAP mode, the sounds come out of all the connected and activated speakers. If the surround speakers are set to NO in the speaker setting (see page 18), JVCs original 3D-PHONIC processing (which has been developed to create the surround effect through the front speakers only) is used. The 3D indicator lights up on the display.

MONO FILM

In order to reproduce a more acoustic sound field in your listening room while viewing monaural sound video software (analog and 2-channel digital signals including Dual Mono signal), you can use this mode. The surround effect will be added, and the sound localization of actors words will be improved. This mode cannot be used for multi-channel digital signals. When MONO FILM is used, sounds come out of all the connected (and activated) speakers. If the surround speakers are set to NO in the speaker setting (see page 18), JVCs original 3D-PHONIC processing (which has been developed to create the surround effect through the front speakers only) is used. The 3D indicator lights up on the display. If incoming signals change from 2-channel digital signal to another digital signal type, MONO FILM is canceled and an appropriate Surround mode is activated.

Creating realistic sound fields
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 (1ch up to 5.1ch). When Dolby Digital signal is detected through the digital input, the DOLBY D indicator lights up on the display.

Dolby Digital 5.1CH

Reproducing theatre ambience
In a movie theatre, many speakers are located on the walls to reproduce impressive multi-surround 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 theatre.
Dolby Digital 5.1CH (DOLBY D) 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.

You can use the following DAP modes in order to reproduce a more acoustic sound field in your listening room. HALL1 Reproduces the spatial feeling of a large shoebox-shaped hall designed primarily for classical concerts. (Its seating capacity is about 2000.) Reproduces the spatial feeling of a large vineyard-shaped hall designed primarily for classical concerts. (Its seating capacity is about 2000.) Reproduces the spatial feeling of a live music club with a low ceiling.

If you connect a pair of headphones while one of the DSP modes is in use, the 3D HEADPHONE mode is activated without respect to the type of software played back. 3DHEADPHONE appears on the display and the DSP, 3D, and HP indicators light up.
NOTE When THEATRE1 or THEATRE2 is activated while playing back 2-channel analogue or digital source, the built-in Dolby Pro Logic II decoder is activated and the indicator lights up.
Using the Surround/DSP modes
Available Surround/DSP modes vary depending on the speaker settings and the incoming signals. See the table below. The numbers inside the parentheses following the incoming signal type indicate the number of the front channels and that of the surround channels. For example, (3/2) indicates that the signals are encoded with three front signals (left/right/center) and two (stereo) surround signals. For EX/ES setting, see page 20.
