Listening to music with the desired sound (NV-701 only)
This unit is compatible with Dolby Digital and DTS digital audio formats. When playing back a source that is recorded in Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic, or DTS, you can enjoy cinematic quality surround sound. You can also select a DSP (Digital Soundfield Processor) to add a surround effect to standard stereo sources or even enhance multichannel surround sources.

Surround modes

The DTS multichannel audio format is available on selected CD, LD, and DVD software. DTS is a strictly digital format. The NV-701 incorporates a DTS decoder for playback of DTS CDs in this unit's CD player or for DVDs or LDs played on connected components.

Dolby Digital (AC-3)

The Dolby Digital (AC-3) surround format lets you enjoy up to 5.1 channels of digital surround sound from Dolby Digital (AC-3) program sources (such as LD or DVD software marked ). Compared with previous Dolby Surround, Dolby Digital (AC-3) provides even better sound quality, greater spatial accuracy, and improved dynamic range. Although a full set of speakers (front left, right, and center, surround left and right, and a subwoofer) is required for true 5.1 channel Dolby Digital (AC-3) surround sound, NV-701 lets you enjoy Dolby Digital (AC-3) (and Dolby Surround) program sources, even if you connect only the front speakers. 7
