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
Linear PCM Uncompressed digital audio data used for DVDs, CDs, and Video CDs. DVDs support 2 channels with sampling rates of 48/96 kHz, at quantization of 16/20/24 bits. On the other hand, CDs and Video CDs are limited to 2 channels with 44.1 kHz at 16 bits. When Linear PCM signal is detected, the LPCM indicator lights up. Dual Mono Dual Mono can be easily understood when you think of the bilingual broadcast for TV programs (however, the Dual Mono format is not identical with those analog formats). This format is now adopted in Dolby Digital, DTS, and so on. It allows two independent channels (called main channel and sub-channel) to be recorded separately. You can select either channel you want to listen to (see page 20).

DTS 96/24

In recent years, there has been increasing interest in higher sampling rates both for recording and for reproducing at home. Higher sampling rates allow wider frequency range and greater bit depths provide extended dynamic range. DTS 96/24 is a multi-channel digital signal format (fs 96 kHz/24 bits) introduced by Digital Theater Systems, Inc. to deliver betterthan-CD sound quality into the home. When DTS 96/24 signal is detected, the DTS and 96/24 indicators light up. You can enjoy its 5.1-channel sound with fullquality.

DTS Neo:6

DTS Neo:6 is another conversion method to create 6-channel (plus subwoofer) from analog/digital 2-channel software by using the high precision digital matrix decoder used for DTS-ES Matrix 6.1ch. This receiver provides the following DTS Neo:6 modesNeo:6 Cinema (NEO:6CINEMA) and Neo:6 Music (NEO:6 MUSIC). When one of them is activated, the NEO:6 indicator lights up on the display. NEO:6CINEMA Suitable for playing movies. You can get the same atmosphere with 2-channel software as with 6.1-channel software. It is also effective for playing software encoded with conventional surround formats. NEO:6 MUSIC Suitable for playing music software. The front channel signals bypass the decoder (resulting in no loss of sound quality) and the surround signals transmitted through the other speakers expand the sound field naturally.
** DTS, DTS-ES, Neo:6 and DTS 96/24 are trademarks of Digital Theater Systems, Inc.
Introducing the DSP modes
The sound heard in a concert hall, club, etc. consists of direct sound and indirect soundearly reflections and reflections from behind. Direct sounds reach the listener directly without any reflection. On the other hand, indirect sounds are delayed by the distances of the ceiling and walls. These direct sounds and indirect sounds are the most important elements of the acoustic surround effects. The DSP modes can create these important elements, and give you a real being there feeling.
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.

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
Linear PCM Uncompressed digital audio data used for DVDs, CDs, and Video CDs. DVDs support 2 channels with sampling rates of 48/96 kHz, at quantization of 16/20/24 bits. On the other hand, CDs and Video CDs are limited to 2 channels with 44.1 kHz at 16 bits. When Linear PCM signal is detected, the LPCM indicator lights up. Dual Mono Dual Mono can be easily understood when you think of the bilingual broadcast for TV programs (however, the Dual Mono format is not identical with those analogue formats). This format is now adopted in Dolby Digital, DTS, and so on. It allows two independent channels (called main channel and sub-channel) to be recorded separately. You can select either channel you want to listen to (see page 20).

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.
