If the source is a 2-channel LPCM audio or a 2-channel Dolby Digital audio and you select SFC effects that are most applicable for 5.1channel audio (i.e., Musical, Drama or Action), we recommend switching Dolby Pro Logic on. On the other hand, when selecting SFC effects that are intended for use with 2channel audio (i.e., Jazz, Hall or Club), we recommend switching Dolby Pro Logic off.

Using the sound field control
The SFC function creates the sensation of a live performance. The acoustics of different performance environments are not the same and depend on the extent and contour of space through which sound waves move and on how sounds bounce off the stage, walls, floors and ceilings. At a live performance you hear music in three stages: direct sound, early reflections, and late reflections, or reverberations. Those factors are programed into the SFC circuitry to recreate the acoustics of various performance settings. Press SFEQ/SFC to select the desired SFC mode. Press SFEQ/SFC repeatedly to switch between the following mode: Musical (musical)Drama (drama)Action (action)Jazz (jazz)Hall (hall)Club (club)OFF (off)
Using the position selector

Dynamic Range Control

Dolby Digital has a function for compressing the difference between the loudest and softest sounds: Dynamic Range Control. This control ensures sounds with an increased dynamic range are heard clearly even at low volume levels.

Dolby Digital

Dolby Digital provides discrete multichannel (up to a maximum of 5.1) audio. This is the same audio system as is installed in movie theaters. To enjoy Dolby Digital sound you need to connect this unit's optical digital input to the digital output on a DVD player with Dolby Digital decoding capability.
Linear PCM (LPCM) /Pulse Code Modulation
This is a recording technology used on music CDs. Some DVD-Video discs also contain PCM sound tracks. While music CDs are recorded at 44.1 kHz/16 bits, DVD-Video discs sound tracks are recorded at 48 kHz/16 bits to 96 kHz/24 bits, thereby offering better quality audio than music CDs.

Dolby Surround Pro Logic

When you play a 2-channel audio disc marked Dolby Surround Pro Logic using an AV amplifier equipped for Dolby Pro Logic, the audio is converted into 4-channel audio. Dolby Pro Logic gives enhanced spatial and directional effects, creating theater-like sense of presence and ambience.

Optical Digital Input

By receiving optical digital input audio signals in a digital signal format, the chance is minimized that the sonic quality deteriorates in the course of transmission. An optical digital input is an input designed to receive digital signals optically. (To take advantage of the digital input, output units such as DVD players must have optical outputs.)
DTS for Digital Theater Surround
DTS is a surround system delivering multi-channel audio from up to 6 independent sources. To hear DTS discs, you need to connect the digital output on DTS-capable DVD players and other units to this unit's digital input.
