How Do I Adjust the Surround Modes?
You can experience true home-theater sound with your Kenwood AudioVideo Receiver. This receiver incorporates several listen modes to let you enjoy surround sound with a wide variety of program sources. Each produces multiple channels of surround-sound, but each does it differently. What is the THX? THX: Movie soundtracks are mixed in special movie theaters called dubbing stages and are designed to be played back in movie theaters with similar equipment and conditions. The soundtrack created for movie theaters is then transferred directly onto Laserdisc, VHS tape, DVD, etc., and is not changed for playback in a small home theater environment. THX engineers developed patented technologies to accurately translate the sound from the movie theater environment into the home, correcting the tonal and spatial errors that occur. On the KRF-X9995D, when the THX mode is on, the THX technologies are automatically added after the decoded signal. Movies which have been encoded in Dolby Digital, DTS, MPEG, Dolby Pro Logic, Stereo and Mono can all benefit from activating the THX technologies. THX should be activated only when watching movies which were mixed for playback in large movie theater environments. THX need not be activated for music, movies that were made especially for television or shows such as sports programming, talk shows, etc. This is because they were mixed in a small room environment. THX Surround EX: THX Surround EX - Dolby Digital Surround EX is a joint development of Dolby Laboratories and the THX division of Lucasfilm Ltd. In a movie theater, film soundtracks that have been encoded with Dolby Digital Surround EX technology are able to reproduce an extra channel which has been added during the mixing of the program. This channel, called Surround Back, places sounds behind the listener in addition to the currently available front left, front center, front right, surround right, surround left and subwoofer channels. This additional channel provides the opportunity for more detailed imaging behind the listener and brings more depth, spacious ambience and sound localization than ever before.

Movies that were created using the Dolby Digital Surround EX technology, when released into the home consumer market may exhibit a Dolby Digital Surround EX logo on the packaging. A list of movies created using this technology can be found on the Dolby web site at http://www.dolby.com. Only receiver and controller products bearing the THX Surround EX logo, when in the THX Surround EX mode, faithfully reproduce this new technology in the home. This product may also engage the "THX Surround EX" mode during the playback of 5.1 channel material that is not Dolby Digital Surround EX encoded. In such case the information delivered to the Surround Back channel will be program dependent and may or may not be very pleasing depending on the particular soundtrack and the tastes of the individual listener. What are Listen Modes? Dolby Digital: Dolby Digital uses an encode/decode process based on its theatrical digital surround sound technology. The five main channels are full-frequency and independent, so sound can completely envelop you or soar anywhere in the room, just like at the movies. Compared with Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Digital has more clarity, greater surround envelopment, and more realistic sound movement between channels. Although a full set of speakers (front left and right, center, surround left and right, and a subwoofer) is required for true Dolby Digital surround sound, this receiver lets you enjoy Dolby Digital program sources, even if you connect fewer speakers. Dolby Pro Logic/Dolby Pro Logic II: Dolby Pro Logic reproduces a surround sound like in a movie theater from Dolby Surround-encoded program source (videotape or LaserDisc software carrying the Dolby Surround logo), and features excellent sound movement on the front and a surrounding atmosphere of movie theaters. Meanwhile, Dolby Pro Logic II decodes a signal encoded in 2 channels into 5-channel signals composed of the left/right front signals, center signal and surround left/right signals. If no surround speaker is Setup, the surround signal is sent to front left and right speakers. (Dolby 3 stereo) Dolby Pro Logic II is an advanced version of the decoding technology used with Dolby Pro Logic. It inputs 2-channel signals from a Dolby
Surround-encoded source and reproduces 5-channel signals in which the surround channel is divided into independent channels for the left and right. Dolby Pro Logic II has the MOVIE mode and MUSIC mode, and the MUSIC mode enables independent adjustment of three parameters including Panorama mode, Dimension and Center Width. See page 29 for the Dolby Pro Logic II parameters. To allow the users enjoy multichannel playback also from the analog audio of currently available Dolby Surround home video software, the VR-5900 incorporates a Dolby Pro Logic II surround decoder.

Confidential unpublished works. 1992-1997 Dolby Laboratories. All rights reserved. DTS : DTS has five full-frequency channels that create effects nearly identical to those in a theater. Sounds seem to zoom from one place to another or entirely surround you. Like Dolby Digital, DTS has much-improved clarity, surround and sound movement capability compared with Dolby Pro Logic. This listen mode is available on CD, LD, and DVD media. DTS is a strictly digital format that can be supplied only by a CD, LD, or DVD player that supports DTS sound. If you attempt to listen to DTS encoded media through the analog connections to your new receiver, you will experience digital noise (loud static). DTS-ES Discrete 6.1, DTS-ES Matrix 6.1: Both DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 and DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 add the surround back channel audio to the DTS 5.1-channel format to improve the acoustic positioning and makes acoustic image movement more natural with the 6.1-channel reproduction. This receiver incorporates a DTS-ES decoder, which can handle DTS-ES Discrete-encoded and DTS-ES Matrix-encoded program sources from DVD, etc. DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 features digital discrete recording of all channels including the surround back channels and higher quality of audio reproduction. DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 features matrix encoding of surround back (SB) signals in the SL/SR signals and decoding of the matrix into the SL, SR and SB signals during playback.

If your source is a camcorder or other video unit, refer to the instruction manual for the particular unit youre recording from.
Digital to Digital Recording The PCM digital signal input through any DIGITAL IN jack is output digitally at the digital jack. For more information on this connection, see Connecting Your MD Recorder or Primary Tape Deck on page 22 of the Connections and Setup Guide. Dolby Digital, DTS and MPEG Multichannel signals cannot be recorded.
Digital to Analog Recording While home VCRs can record only two channels of audio, the receiver is capable of "down-mixing" the multi-channel audio of Dolby Digital, DTS or MPEG into stereo sound. Down-mixing is available by setting the Digital Rec mode to REC MODE: AUTO or REC MODE: MANUAL. Digital Rec mode: Digital signals include a variety of signals such as the Dolby Digital, DTS and PCM signals. When REC MODE is set to AUTO, digital input signals are automatically converted into analog stereo signals. When REC MODE is set to MANUAL, only a specific signal among the digital signals can be converted into analog stereo signals. When REC MODE is switched to MANUAL in the middle of reproduction of a digital audio program, only the digital signal of the type being reproduced will be converted into analog stereo signals. When REC MODE is switched to MANUAL while no source is played, only the PCM signal will be converted into analog stereo signals. To set the Digital Rec mode: 1. Touch the 2. Select (Src.) or (Dst.) so that (Src.) is reversed. (digital rec. auto) or (digital rec. Manual).
